Heh heh which is how I laugh in real life...it just struck me that if editing on WP forever and a day (meaning I vandalize then pretend to come in and save the day a gazillion times)--well, if that's something purporting to look good on a resume! Well, I'd say it's bout goddang time we gots fokls what talks good english like i do, writin what needs writ!! give em a damn job!! THAT will further civilization as we know and love it.

It's as if intelligence itself has committed suicide in this country.
