No worries. The point of these posts is not to lull but to anger. The thick sarcasm is meant to control the very strong reactions but we are in the early days of working out this whole language-reactor thing!

My apologies, Greg.

I did click on the link, but only skimmed the article and missed the paragraph regarding Pawlenty and Bachmann.

I didn’t vote for Bush. ANY Bush. ANY time. FLORIDA voted against offshore drilling and never allowed it off our coasts. That is beside the point. I deserve this? Florida deserves this? kids who aren’t old enough to vote deserve this? Are you God? No. So by what right do you say we deserve this?

No we do not. The misguided don’t deserve this either. Our state and it’s creatures don’t deserve this. The fish don’ts deserve this.

I could say you deserve to have your fingers rot off for the absolute nonsense you mix into what could be very educational and moving articles. That diarrhea you spout is only slightly less toxic than the poison in the gulf. I’m not God either, so I cannot say for sure what you deserve.

You have the right to speak your mind. I have the right to say you’re an asshat. Grow a real brain, or at least some actual thought patterns. Rather than spout insults, why not actually spout sense?

Greg, maybe you should change the color or boldness of your links. They are a little hard to spot. (Well, at least for me and my recent age related vision)

i’d be tempted to read more of your blog based on the title, but this post is asinine. i’m a florida native, and in 2000 i voted absentee (not for bush).

my vote didn’t even get counted. the *u.s. supreme court* stopped the recount.

florida’s a fucked up state but they don’t deserve this. get your facts straight.
