The Miers Nomination
Tuesday, October 4th, 2005A Link!
Tuesday, October 4th, 2005It’s rare that I get offsite links from sites that I haven’t already linked to. As in, the only time before this that it has happened was when spam sites were linking to me. So I’m quite pleased to find a quote of mine on Eclipse‘s eleventh page of Political Signature Quote Collection. I even have a better sense of humor than the average troll in the DU! Then again, that’s like saying that someone has more legs than a slug. Or more personality than Al Gore. Either way, I shall take it as a compliment (even though I’ve never trolled on DU).

“OHH! I thought you meant, like, corn.”
–During a discussion on a bill proposing mandatory minimum sentences for drunk drivers who kill someone:
