juxlp (the long playing jux)

See? This is why you don’t discuss politics (or religion with some people). Always the chance, nay the probability, that you might offend.

You are a wise man, Brady.

When the election between George W. and Al Gore went into “overtime” in the courts, I made a comparison to officiating basketball games to my father-in-law.

I said I wasn’t too concerned about the election being held up in court because just as with an official in a game, the goal is to get the call right.

When I said that I thought my father-in-law was going to go into “hydro-phobe” (any one remember that from “Old Yeller?”) mode and start foaming at the mouth.

The lesson you illustrate is one best learned by all of us.

Besides, I belong to the jclcecet party.

I am laughing quite heartily at “Vat do you tsink of tsee political situassioooon?” I have been unable to simply read it silently. I read it aloud, again and again, delighting in the way it rolls off my tongue.

I’m always amused in discussions pertaining to religion (which are usually discussion pertaining to the practice of religion) that people tend to assume you think just like they think. This, in our fair city, is true with politics as well. Everyone assumes that you hold the same position as they.

As to the blog reading order, I’m at a loss for words. But look out for tomorrow’s post - I’ve already started working on the first draft. It will have you saying “trcusbsc” in many languages.

I like that “Vat do you tsink” thing, too!

Now I’m worried because I have no order of blog reading. Just like life, I’m more of a care free blog reader reading whatever order strikes my fancy. I know, I’m such a rebel!

Brady, I’ve also heard you can turn on the southern accent when a policeman approaches you for a driving violation.
