You're embarrassed?

I scored 16 :-(
Does that mean I have to turn in my conservative credentials?

Welcome!

I don't think it will be necessary to turn in your credentials but you can surely see that you need some work.

HaHaHa! Thanks for playing!

The lowest score I have heard anybody lay claim to is 12. I retook the test in the persona of Chris Matthews and got a 109.

I don't think you can get less than a 12, it's kind of like going to Harvard, no "B"'s allowed. Plus, getting a zero might damage your self-esteem.

Crap! This Is Getting Embarassing!

I scored "16". Crawfish scored "13" and Sarge, you scored "14".

How in the wild world of sports did I score higher than you two? I am a Mississippian for goodness sakes.

I believe it is a plot against the fair state of Mississippi. Some one in the O'Vomit "Camp" wants to make all Mississippians look bad to our fellow Conservatives across the USA.

To keep my Conservative credentials high, I am going to go out shooting this week and carry my Bible. I will also carry a bottle of "bitters" with me to make an "Old Fashion" at a friend's house.

(At least I scored lower than BrianR!)

I have found that it is dangerous to take this test in the persona of the MSM. I took it, assuming the character of Chris Matthews, and now my leg won't stop tingling.

There should be a medical disclaimer!

Sgt Relic -- 2nd Failure?

Have to ask ... what are you doing Jan. 20th? You don't want your second failure to be not showing up for THE historic moment, I trust.

As a Virginian, I am heading in the opposite direction. 'Go west' is my motto next week.

I fear that my failures will continue since I plan to be as far as possible from DC on the 20th. That is, without actually leaving Chesapeake.

It's over 200 miles. Do you think that's a safe buffer zone?

Well, let me think ... you might catch a break there in the Chesapeake area. I will keep an eye on the traffic reports that day -- lol.

BTW, I really enjoy reading your posts in the column threads. It is amazing to me the amount of info you have at your disposal on such short notice.

Happy Coronation ... I mean inauguration ... on the 20th.

Mrs. AL

Thanks for the kind words.

I have a theory about that kind of thing. I believe there is a brief window in everyone's life when they have lived long enough to have seen it all, and still can remember it!

Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. - Macbeth

A personal favorite from the bard.

Do you think your 65 will get you a position in the Ministry of Love?

I'm just a victim of my environment. Virginia has only recently become a blue state and it will years before we achieve the level of political correctness that comes so naturally to those of you who live in that liberal nirvana called SoCal!

Just yesterday, while I was driving back from Carolina I had to fight to keep from pulling into Earle's Market when I saw that they had a Sale on gator tail and frogs legs.

It could be decades before Earle stocks Iranian caviar!

Gator Tail!

I've only had gator tail once...it was breaded and deep-fried, a truly politically incorrect dish. It was pretty good. I ate frogs legs on a dare once as a kid. One of my friends had a can of frogs legs from somewhere. Enjoy your gator before the Dept of Ag is taken over by PETA. You might be charged with accessory to murder when your garbage cans are inspected by the block monitor...you know, like in Cuba. Thats the place the Obamanite's hero Che comes from.

Is there another way to cook things?

Back when we had the Beltway Sniper trial a few blocks from my home, all the big reporters where here in Great Bridge to cover the story.

The closest lunch spot was the "Fry Baby" featuring deep fried EVERYTHING!

That must have been quite a shock to their NYC sensibilities. HaHaHa!

Not as big a shock to their systems as seeing those poor victims of white racism and anti-muslim bigotry railroaded by the Evil Bush Regime. As Blago so eloquently put it it was like convicting cowboys of crimes in town while they were at the ranch...or something like that. He should be Obama's first Supreme Court appointment.

Welcome to the world of the political bottom feeders.

Our obvious lack of understanding of just how socialism will make us free and prosperous has consigned us to a Diogenes like existence. We are doomed to wander the political landscape, lantern in hand, searching for an honest man.
