"We need no urging to hate humans. But for now!? Only a fool fights in a burning house!!"
-Kang, STAR TREK, Day Of The Dove

I know, I know...

I am a little slow on the uptake on this one.. :D

Nelson's claim to shame is NOT attempting to extort more concessions from the Wall Street legislation via SON OF CORN HUSKER...

His claim to shame is for having done it the FIRST time and thereby saving CrapCare from it's ignoble, yet rightful, fate...

I know there's a bug with the way comments are counted on the main page (the little number in the parenthesis) and the way they're counted here (on the "article" page). The problem is, on the main page it is also counting "pingbacks" and "trackbacks" which the site automatically gets whenever someone else's blog or site cites this one (say that three times fast). But since they aren't real comments, I filtered them out in the numbers used here. I tried to filter them out on the main page, but it didn't work, so I still have to fix this, sorry about that. See comments elsewhere RE: Nelson. I believe I wrote this before I saw an article which pointed out he and his wife own over $6 million in Berkshire Hathaway stock. Sheesh. But seriously, dude, here I am, handing you a big stick, and pointing helpfully at a Democrat here, who deserves to be whacked with it, so have at him! See, we're not partisan here, we rip on anyone who doesn't measure up! :-) I have to admit, I believe you were the one who first pointed out the label "Cornhusker Kickback" to me here in the comments (back in January, no doubt). I DO take notice of erring Democrats, and invite you to bring them to my attention, as I do indeed listen, and sometimes agree with you. -CW Michale -

On another note, there still seem to be some number issues here.. This commentary should 9 comments, but there was only one.. I added a comment to the REPUBLICANS BLUFF commentary but the number was added to THIS commentary. Just a heads up.... On another note, is there a section we can comment on the mechanics of the site, let you know when problems crop up, etc etc etc?? I hate to bore everyone with technical IT/ADMIN type problems. I would MUCH rather bore people with my hyperbole.. :D hehehehehehehehe Michale.....
