peacefuljeffrey 0 #1 November 4, 2004 About the fact that meddlesome asshole George Soros wasted tens of millions of dollars to see his candidate lose the election? I found myself giggling out loud about it at work today. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I almost felt guilty enjoying the obvious distress on the faces of Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Judy Woodruff, etc. But then I remembered the way they look down on me with snotty contempt and quickly got over it. There's nothing wrong with having an opinion. I'm not offended that they're liberal; I'm offended that they insist they're not, when their facade has been crumbling for years. Don't want to get too gloaty, though. It won't be long before it's MY guys losing an election. Then we'll be in trouble, because that will mean the socialists will have won and we'll soon be losing more money and more freedom.
