When I was a little kid and lost in a foot race...

...I claimed it because everyone ahead of me had cheated. I guess we've made excuses at one time or another ;)

1. You didn't argue that you ran more steps than the winner, so

you were really the winner? How about that you even though you lost, you are really the fastest, so you should be the winner?

3. Did you change the position of the finish line??

If you could change the position of the finish line while the race was going on, and just make sure your opponent was already past it, you could still be the winner!!!

8. Should have done that and said....

I'd be the winner if none of them had run against me.

2. Maybe you need to change the way we select the winner

Like golf, whoever comes in last wins.

6. A truly RW trait: It's NOT EVER your fault. Never taking responsibilty and PAYING the price

with grace.

That's Right Wingers I've grown to know ... and somewhat love since so many of them are part of my extended family.

They are NOT EVER wrong. NEVER! ;)

9. Did you start with a 100 SD head start and still lose?

I mean a 100 foot head start?

11. apparently i was the only person

who was taught how to lose gracefully and with respect for others who i competed against.
like Obama said... you gotta brush it off your shoulders and move on.
