and just what are we still independent of? Or is that why they call it Independence DAY? To give us a chance to party like it’s 2004. Whoo hoo!

I am officially giving up reading your work too.First you get Blue Hate Hostage to leave although I know he sneaks a peek every so often,then you chase Johnny P away as he tried to date you for years and couldn’t take the rejection anymore so he set sail to Bikini Island ,then you always give Dan more press than me……..so I am done.Oh well I tried….I am having my own blog party and only Whitey Bulger and Anthony Weiner are invited!

M.C., I believe that your production is akin to a small independent winery with good batches and some not so good. this is a punn, and I know you like puns, please accept this criticisim as a fan, who for the most part, has enjoyed your written passion; but lately, if you aint selling it, then you WINE about it! but I could never quit you 😉

as a lover of the grape myself, i like your comparison, scott v. though it’s not akin to a summer’s day, it’s just as fair. as you see, good sir, i will pun you, but never punish. 😉

am i whining, let me think, but not too much.

merci a tous mes provacateurs.
