FITS gets today’s SC Press Association Award for most convoluted, dis-jointed, hiding-the-point and/or never-making a real point, except how bad a F*#king writer he is….
FITS: take a class on:
A) Concise Writing
B) Writing a lead (or lede as you tell us professionals (like you) call it)…
C) Ethics
D) Critical Thinking
Or it may be easier to just hire somebody who knows what the F*#k they are doing…

A) Concise Writing: Use symbols as letters, power up the shift key, and toss grammar out.
B) Writing a lead: Introduce Obama.
C) Ethics: You look the other way if Republican (see Haley/ Harrell).
D) Critical Thinking: You know, agree with what I think.

Mr. Tango is on a new mission for improvement, and has hired me as a summer intern to establish his new flashcard library of profanity. My assignment is to invent new words, but he has requested me not to have any that are more than five syllables. He says that he gets tongue-tied and spews too much spittle if a word is longer than that. I just hope that I can last through the summer because I really need the money for my tuition at Clemson.

I make a living as a writer. It’s a job everybody thinks he can do, and everybody wants. Very few are capable or qualified to write for money.

For every contract I get, I have to provide writing samples. The lucrative contractors are very selective. And at times I have more work than I can handle. (Of course Obama has F*#ked up everybody’s business)….

Anyway: Soliciting writing contracts is living in a glass house, w/ a softball sized hail storm always raging, and I thrive. So I don’t worry about it.

I find it extremely interesting how you people have so much difficulty accepting my occupation. I’m not claiming fame or celebrity..or even superior intelligence, because of my profession.

If you told me you were an accountant, an engineer, an attorney or a teacher, I would not try to ridicule you w// disbelief. I think those are difficult jobs, that trigger ambition, and are respectable…Your success in your chosen field does not threaten me, as mine seems to intimidate you.

I guess if you allow that your myths about me, are just that…it opens you up to the reality you could just as misguided about all the other strongly held beliefs in your lives. Like your allegiance to liberalism or faith in decadence as freedom (as liberal-tarians believe),….

Maybe you should begin to question the false gods that have ensnared you, instead of your assuredness that I’m lying about such a minor, non-substantial, claim.

Is that correct?

…who ever heard of anyone “getting a piece of elephant”…?

Just. Can’t. Resist.

This elephant was walking through the jungle one day when she got a thorn in her foot. The further she walked, the more sore it got. After a while she started to limp. After a while, this ant walks up and asks, “Hey, what’s the matter?” The elephant answers, “I’ve got this thorn in my foot and I would do anything to get it out.” The ant says, “Anything? Would you let me fuck you?” The elephant thought about it for a minute and decided what the hell.
How bad could an ant be? So she agreed. The ant started pulling on the thorn and sure enough, he got it out. True to her word, the elephant laid down on her side and moved her tail out of the way. The ant crawled up on her and
started going to town. This monkey was up in a tree watching this little tiny ant screwing this great big elephant. He
couldn’t quite believe his eyes. He started laughing and rolling around in the tree. Then he knocked a coconut out of the tree that went down and hit the elephant right between the ears. The elephant moaned loudly in pain:

“Awwoooohhhhh!”

The ant yelled at the top of his voice, “Take it all bitch,
take it all !!!!!!”

Indeed, who exactly is supporting him?He will get some votes I imagine.Anyone who puts their name on the ballot does, but he has no real support among any faction of the Democratic Party,unlike the situation in the GOP where county Republican parties are “censuring” the incumbent Republican Senator.That much better fits the definition of Civil War I would think.

SSfH,

Originally the House of Representatives represented the People and the Senate was supposed to be a more deliberative body representing the interests of the various States.

* Law and Order “Dun Dun” sound effect. *

The Seventeenth Amendment *disenfranchised* the States and *empowered* the Federal Government.

Since most of the Representatives and Senators represent themselves and whichever special interest *owns* them….it probably makes little difference today….

I run the Democratic Party in South Carolina now and that’s the end of it. This was my and my daddy’s life time dream. Brad Hutto, James Smith and Vincent Sheheen are 3 of my Captains. They have not made Colonel yet,like my boys Glenn McConnell, Hugh Leatherman and John Land. Yeah, I know Glenn and Hugh say they are Republicans, but they only do that for votes. Like I had Molly Spearman do to get elected. She’s one of us as everybody knows – Inez trained her – but we have to play the game sometime if we can’t rent enough Black Caucus votes on election day. As long as those in the party do exactly as I say, then they have no problems. They become real Republicans and I have ways to punish them you can not even imagine. Especially if they are lawyers.

Have a blessed day.

ps. Molly. That order we are writing about Richard Breibart will not be out until after the primary and as I told you, I will protect you and your father. No problem. I know you love me.

I have often thought that the Democrats would be a great party to belong to if their actions matched their published morals. A Conservative Democrat would want to feed, clothe, and shelter the truly poor, but find a far more efficient way to do it and pay for it. A Conservative Democrat would see the need for public education but understand the vile nature of public unions. A Conservative Democrat would understand the nature of a written set of rules which remains constant and the historical nature of its creation, and the understanding that a republic must be democratic, but not a pure democracy. A Conservative Democrat would know that government is almost never the answer, and that what oversight the government would have would be honest, completely transparent, and limited to the overseen program. A Conservative Democrat would not.. oh God, I’ve got to stop.. I’m gonna vomit…………… Democrats would have to stop being Democrats – and THAT’S just NOT going to happen.

Conservative Democrats are what is now Republicans. LBJ killed the Real Democrat Party in 1964. That is when the Dim. party went to hell in a hand basket to buy votes from what has become the parasite class in order to win elections. The mess this once great country is in now is a direct result of The Great Society plus fifty yeas of festering.

If Stamper is the progressive and true blue Democrat he claims to be, then why is Blue America PAC the only progressive organization endorsement he’s got? There’s Democracy for America, PCCC, Progressive Democrats of America, and MoveOn among other progressive PACs and organizations, and they are not backing Stamper. I’ve even been told that an activist here in SC for Progressive Democrats of America has turned against Stamper. Also, look at Shenna Bellows of Maine. She has much the same stances as Stamper, but she has the endorsements of PCCC, MoveOn, and Democracy for America where, as stated before, Stamper doesn’t. This should be a telling sign for supporters of Stamper.

A Pox on all the main parties today, the Dem’s, Repugnicants, and the mostly the Tea Party. None of them any longer work for all Americans. It’s all ideology or money that drives them. If we could turn back the clock to a time when both parties worked together to help America as they did in the 50’s, 60’s and even to some extent the 70’s and 80’s all of us would be better off. The key word is compromise and that is a dead word today in politics.
