Ya gotta love hoisted petards .......
...... I'm sorry. I have no point here at all. I was just daydreaming and chuckled out loud at how the Republics are imploding on ***all*** fronts. Even with their brazillions of dollars, they just can't seem to even be able to ***buy*** a break these days.

4. It's almost sad (but actually HILARIOUS) to see them defending each other.
Go to other forums. They are outnumbered. It's like we've all come out of the closet and surprised them.

I'm seeing 100 point fonts in RED. Those DEMS sat on those IM's for TWO YEARS! There's yer story!


ARGH!

5. you can't hoist a petard
A petard is (was) like a landmine or explosive charge placed to blow a hole in a wall. The quote from Hamlet means something like stepping on your own landmine that you planted. You are hoist BY a petard - i.e. blown up
