    Are you sure you actually meant "shocking"?

    I mean, it was no 'Nightmare On Elm Street' was it?

    This wasn't even anywhere near as bad as Southern Man's travails over his rep points.

    God bless this patriot. Hopefully we'll have more heroes like this in the future.

    I can't believe how childish these people are. They lose control of the Congress so they petulantly try to come in early and stand about on podiums and refuse to participate in the pledge?

    Geez. I can't think they are gaining points among their constituency by acting like retards.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Did you have to have a sit down and a glass of water to settle your frayed nerves as well, Damo?

    Yes, it was all terrible. I mean all those people sitting there, while they said those words!

    I don't really care that they sat through it, I would just be pissed of my representative wouldn't sit through a legislative session because they lost control of the gavel. Grow the heck up.

    I felt very sorry for the poor chap who tried to stand up but was "pulled down" by the burly geriatric lady sitting next to him.

    This is "shocking"?

    I have a kind of fringe theory that conservatives actually live on a different planet from the rest of us. I'm still fleshing it out...

    No kidding. Did you see how violent it was? He was all looking funny, then frightened he put his hand over his heart anyway...

    Maybe it's his silent protest of a custom that only totalitarian governments make a requirement.

    Nah, it's a childish fit to show that they are upset over losing control of the gavel. It's been a running story for awhile. The Ds show up early and try to lock out the Rs entirely (actually locking the doors), they reject the President's taking the gavel (actually bodily attempting to stand at the podium), they petulantly will not participate in the government they were elected to participate in, all because they lost control of a gavel.

    Heck I really do not care. It is NY state stuff and I do not live there.
    States that have the entire state pretty much being run by one large metro area usually suck anyway.
