    Agreed. I learned a lot from the well-reasoned arguments about religion and politics, on both sides. The name calling -- other than the subject being called a slut and a liar, unsubstantiated both -- didn't begin until the very end.

    Zag: Honest question here. I'm not mocking you.
    But have you ever been publicly called something you're not -- a thief, a liar, a slut, an adulterer, whatever it is that might upset you because it goes against every thread of your being, and affects your professional career and your private life, maybe causes your family distress and grief? And has this slander ever been vocalized to millions, so that they run with the meme and it'll likely follow you forever?
    If not, can you at least understand how if that does happen to someone, especially a person who's mostly or always led a private life, that person and others can be slightly upset?

    Get your facts straight dude.

    Oh wait a minute - you lied about me, I am going to make a federal case out of it....

    And I get a kick out of the idea some people are considered "rational" while others are considered irrational, yet the so called "rational" group comes up with stuff like, oh I don't know, trying to compare a law student's verbal exchange with a talk show host to the holocaust.....

    Alright, alright. Newbie's shout.

    Ruckus gets a Grain Belt.

    Consonants gets a Miller Lite pounder, and is reminded we wear caps and sleeves at this level.

    Care Bear gets a double on the house for obvious reasons.

    Gingerbread gets whatever she wants, again, for obvious reasons.

    Moddy gets a double bourbon on the rocks. Hey, I took a shot.

    IJAG gets something foofy I would never, ever drink. But it comes in a Punto coozie.

    Ragu gets a whiskey neat, blessedly free from government interference.

    Dick Whitman gets a sensible, middle of the road drink, say a gin and tonic. No, too zesty. Captain and diet.

    Old Tony gets a tap beer with a splash of synthetic testosterone. I have no idea how that got there.

    BYH gets a fucking Pepsi.

    Johnny_Dangerously gets an Abita.

    Fenian gets a Leinenkugel's Red.

    zagoshe gets a gallon of rhino tranquilzer.

    Double Down gets a schlitz, and he's buying.

    Oh, and I'm having whiskey. Everybody set?

    Then bottoms up, you filthy fucking miscreants.

    The real dooley would have broken that into at least four posts. Impostor!
