"I'm just not one for exclusionary policies, I am an inclusive person...."

Inclusive my ass. The second that someone expresses an opinion different than your own, you either insult them, question their intelligence, or just tell them to leave your site. Its a vicious cycle, Tien. You say something, someone disagrees, you insult, you post about how inclusive you are, you say something else a few weeks later, someone disagrees, you insult.

I know, I know....I don't have to read the site. But I guess I just can't get enough of those damn face-stuffing shots.

actually, i meant in my political ideologies. joe, i'll be sure to check my thoughts at the door of the internet the next time i post on my site. and it's not like i'm stuffing the content of this site into your mouth like i stuff hot dogs into my mouth...but if you choose to come, you know what to expect.

so if i belittle those with other views, call them stupid or whatnot, i know they have their own opinions and i tend not to go onto their sites to express my outrage on their dollar. because, hey, i've got my own site.

see tien...in naples, where the pizza at brandi is the best in the entire multi-dimensional brane, everybody is inclusive. i agree with joe, you should definitely be more wary about what kind of opinions and independent thoughts you express on your own blog. i mean, its not like its just your blog or anything.

actually, this is a different joe. there are way too manny joes in this world.

hmm, apologies joe. maybe its time to bring back nicknames like they did in the 60s. joe #1 can be "rainman", joe #2 can be "nipples", and joe #3 can be "knuckles".

As long as we're name-dropping African American politicians and talking about places for democrats to find solace, I'd like to add my humble state, Wisconsin, to the list. We went blue (sadly, by a small margin) and we elected Wisconsin's first black congresswoman, Gwen Moore.

i was really happy that wi went blue

Does maoland have a good healthcare system? does everybody get paw scrafs upon arriving?

on the election thing, intresting statistic that came up, when voters where asked why they voted, they said to vote on "moral" issues rather than "political" ones, seems like gay marriage bans brought out the vote.how f*cking disppointing.

i was just going to ask those questions t.g. oh - and what't he employment rate in maoland?

i just want the scarf. and some good healthcare. like prescription coverage. yes, that would be very nice.

Well Tien,

Unfortunately racism and "isms" are alive and well. The largest demographic of voters for Bush are white people who have been led to believe that abolishing slavery, illegal aliens from mexico, asian technology & economics, as well as other foreigners are the reasons for there current status.

They feel they would make more money, have a mansion, have maids, and a limo if it werent for those N---ers, Slant Eyes, and Wetbacks.

Most of them believe there was a time when they we all rich and prosperous. If you watch television or movies, its definitely the way things are depicted.

As long as Bush makes them feel they are included in the plans of his very small true constituency, and theres hope for them to join the ranks of the elite. The results will be the same.

I wasn't sure about this whole Maoland thing until I saw that picture, but now I'm definitely in. Shit, if you made a flyer with that picture saying "Eat Babies!" I'd probably drop by a crib or two on the way home tonight.

Along the lines of what you were saying about Illinois and St. Louis County, Dallas Count (yes, the one in Texas) elected it's first woman sheriff, who also happens to be hispanic AND a lesbian.

Actually Tien, they're proposing to extend the selective service age limit from 18-25 to 18-35.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

d'oh! color us fucked. red or blue.

thoughts on maoland to come later.

I think I have to switch back to first name, last initial to distinguish myself from angry joe 1 and angry joe 2.

Does Maoland have a slogan yet?

You're right about the wool. The Republicans turned out the evangelical vote by playing on people's prejudices. This entire election was won by turning out opposition to gay marriage. Considering all we've seen in the past few years - 3,000 innocent people incinerated, crushed, or falling to their deaths; our country's moral capital around the world wasted; a war for which the principle rationale has been proven false; a monumental loss of jobs; access to health care dwindling; and a complete assault on long-established environmental policies - it's inconceivable that that #1 issue that drove voters to the polls was "Moral Values." It's truly remarkable to think that for a huge number of Americans, the idea of two men or two women devoting their lives together poses a greater threat to America than, say, Osama bin Laden. It's something I'll never understand.

Tien, thanks for giving credit to Charlie!!

As a blue-stater from a ways away (Wisconsin), I understand your feelings, Tien. You're welcome in Madison, our inclusive little island. Perhaps we can do some free trade negotiation with Maoland, if you'll keep the cheese tariffs low.

Philip, interesting perspective on why some voters went the way they did.

i tell you paul, maoland will always welcome people who are blue due to tuesday's results. and you can't have pizza without cheese.
