28. The paint chips must be old to be effective, I suggest from the peak or dormers of an old
Thu May 24, 2012, 02:07 PM
May 2012

Victorian era home, turn of the century exterior paint never skimped on lead as they liked the richness it added to the color.

Also, there are more effective chemicals to huff, but I will refrain from listing them because the half of the time it doesn't help you to "understand how to move beyond drilling by drilling more" they tend to cause Coma and death.

I am thinking of a surgical approach, I believe an awl tapped through the corner of my eye and into my frontal lobe will allow me the clarity needed to vote for a lesser of two evils that has managed to cause more evil than the more evil choice in at least this one issue regarding arctic plunder.

First I try to visualize how our candidate is a liberal and will seek proven progressive solutions to problems that are only made worse by a Hoover approach, once that becomes untenable;

I try to visualize how a neo-liberal is really much better than a neo-con even tho many of them were/are involved in the same organizations, when that becomes an obvious misinterpretation of what are really very minor differences;

I try to imagine how our party will at least be on board to try to stop the suicidal approach to the environment preferred across the aisle, once that becomes a quixotic task to believe (even under heavy drugs and hypnosis)

I must then admit it doesn't matter who screws us, we should just pick the team that wears our favorite color and enjoy the ride that ends in the same destination only with a differing view along the way, I am saving the awl for this last bit, I am almost there,

I will vote for a full ticket of Democrats thereby getting the Republican policies we all want but with the added value of us doing it to ourselves, in order to smile in a droolingly happy fashion.

It is for the drooling smile at the outcome that the bit of surgery is needed.

Your idea sounds good as well, just remember the quality of the lead in the chips is more helpful than the quantity one can find around new housing, also they taste good with a little brown mustard.
