Watching the debates and learned something new |
|
Did you guys realize Richardson was a governor? I had no idea. Apparently he's balanced budgets.

3. The last sitting Senator elected President? |
|
JFK. Richardson being governor is no small point; the electorate seems to prefer executives, not legislators, as Presidential candidates.

5. I'm well aware of the history. I kid Richardson cause I like the guy. |
|
But if you designed a drinking game around his resume listing during debates, half of DU would die of alcohol poisoning.

:spank:
Your wry humor and my tiredness are a bad combination (at least for me). Richardson does mention his executive experience a lot - but give the guy a break: most people don't even know he is running...

8. And here I thought you were playing with me from the first reply. |

I get in trouble a lot for wry humor. But I get so bored debating all day, by this time of night I turn a little loonie.

10. I was going to sheepishly play the "I was playing" card, but couldn't |

dredge up the gumption. I usually am the first to catch impish humor, but after all the "Hillary is a screamer!" nonsense on the board tonight, I think my humor-bone is broken. I'll go to bed and maybe it will have healed by morning. Next time, though, I will run with the sarcasm ball if you throw it...

But I've seen plenty of crap that boggles the mind. You're right, some of the crap on DU lately has been so over-the-top that the humor posts get piled in with it. I may have to resort to the :sarcasm: tag until the primaries are over.
