Watching the debates and learned something new

Did you guys realize Richardson was a governor? I had no idea. Apparently he's balanced budgets.

1. I seem to recall him mentioning something about that.

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.

7. Sorry, I get it...

: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...

:hi:

11. I missed the screamer bit.

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.
