6. Was thee talking to us Quakers, friend?

Thee had best learn thy pronoun cases a little better if thee intends to keep up with us Simple Folk.

9. Well, it's not possessive (thine), it's objective - so

it would be 'thou' - but somehow "Brace Thouselves" sounds a little clunky. Likely because the whole 'thee', 'thou' etc are singular pronouns - like 'du' in German, or 'tu' in French. Doest thee get it now?

15. Got it! It's thyself!

or thyselves. Thought the 'thou' sounded odd, also. Now that we have that problem solved, what other dragons await slaying?

8. RNC DIRTY TRICKS! RNC DIRTY TRICKS!

Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 11:43 AM by jackstraw45

This is SO fake looking. And of course it asks for donations for KERRY and only has first names for contacts?!

The RNC fingerprints are all over it.
- The phone number for "Ken" is to a Art Gallery in St. Petersburg....
- Misspellings (patriates)
- Includes a plea for Kerry

TOTAL RNC SMEAR! In florida of course.

I'm curious about who placed and paid for the ad...aren't you?

Here's the "newspaper":

10. And...

...wasn't it Ted Kennedy, not Edward Kennedy, who made the "Iraq is Bush's Vietnam" comment?

14. Oh, I dig.

But unless he's putting quotes in people's mouths (which would not surprise me), it looks like it was the Democratic club who sent in this ad:

http://www.drudgereport.com/rc7r.htm

Edna McCall is really the vice president of the club.

Of course, this is totally meaningless, it's like quoting a post from a message board and pretending it represents all democrats.

13. Obviously, the Man cannot get elected on his OWN Strong Record

so he has to go Neg, Embellish, Decieve, and play Dirty Tricks.

He had $200 million. If he was such a good prez he would need 5 cents as the Nation would "Draft" him. But he has to resort to the above cause he is anything but good.

16. The officers from this club...

have never donated to ANY democrat...at least according to OpenSecrets.org. Don't you find it odd that they'd spend the money on this ad and ask for Kerry campaign donations yet never donate to ANY democrat themselves? Their website is also obtuse. Hardly any of the links lead to any information on their past meetings, newsletters, etc., etc.

18. I just plain don't believe it was done by Democrats.

Where's the proof?

I don't believe everything I read in the newspaper and I certainly don't believe everything Drudge says.

That idiotic looking ad could've been placed by anyone.

I expect the truth will be out shortly about this.
