You know my last name because it’s in my email address. Back in the 90’s I wrote a column for a while for the local newspaper. The editor had Jim’s side, so he named my column “Sully’s Side.” I was occasionally concerned about “Sully” as a nickname until I realized that very few people have vocabularies beyond Dick and Jane. I expect you found it “kinda creepy” because you know “sully” as a verb.

Your profile has me remembering the resume I got from a fellow who earned his B.A. at “Havard.” I posted it on the HR Dept bulletin board along with that of an Exec Secy whose resume extolled her “attention to detale,” after scissoring out his ID info. Sometime later I got a resume from a young lady who graduated “Magna Cum Lade” from Bryn Mawr. When I posted her resume on the board I learned that my boss, a Bryn Mawr grad, was not amused; which amused me no end.

Because it is kinda creepy

A censorious threat; and here I was enjoying our interchange. Did I perhaps drill too close to a nerve?

Incidently, according to spamhouse.org “A message is Spam only if it is both Unsolicited and Bulk.”

Thanks for the compliment re my blog. I’ll flatter myself that you have good taste as well as an interesting blog.

What makes you think anyone is on “auto”?

This is absolutely insane that it was included in the STIMULUS BILL…..DUH… most of just don’t seem to understand that. It is not that is it not needed, it’s that it was in the freaking stimulus bill. Ya’ll need to turn off the “auto” button when it come to dissin the republicans and listen to wtf someone is saying regardless of R or D. This is why I’m an Independent. Ya’ll are just bickering idiots.

I understand perfectly now. Everything you wrote in the original post and all of your comments were leg pulls. I commend you on your ability to maintain utter consistency of message.

If he puts something in all caps it probably is a joke.
