85. In a post like this from Manny, how could anyone not get the sarcasm? Consider the source.

I vehemently disagree with Manny and sometimes I want to wring his neck, but I like him. He's persistent and believes what he's saying. Over and over. Never gives up. He makes me smile -- I can't help it.
