    One step closer to what??

    One step closer to not having Republican douchebags disingenuously write garbage like “One step closer to what?”

    Oliver said: On Doctor King’s day, we know we’re one step closer.

    I want to know what it is we are trying to get to get closer to.

    ed – Hate to burst your little bubble, but I’m not a Republican (far from it). Sorry

    And I told you.

    I assume you voted for Obama because you’re so far from a Republican. Why would you need to ask what we (reality-based) are (thankfully) getting closer to?

    Go watch King’s speech. then go to a quiet place and think about it for a while. Couple of days, at least.

    It’s clear that tap-dancing around a simple question is one of your fortes.
    I am now bracing myself to be called a Nazi, racist, hate monger.

    Nah, “Dumbass” will do fine.

    Or “Republican” (despite lame-o protests to the contrary). It’s a fine line.

    *yawn*

  10. Randy Brown says:

    One step closer to leaving people like Joaquin eating our, ahem, dust. That’s what.

  11. Joaquin says:

    Nice link to the festivities Mr. Willis

    I especially like the part about RESERVE NOW:
    The Official Barack Obama Inaugural Book (published by Five Ties Publishing, $39.95) will be released in April, 2009.
    (Man! I gotta get me a bunch of those!)

    I also like the DONATE NOW button. pfffft!

    Hey, y’all have fun in DC and be careful not to spill any Kool-Aid on those nicely pressed brown shirts. I’m just messin with ya!

    joaquin, winners rule, losers drool. Everyone else is celebrating, and you’re just spitting into the wind while the rest of us have a good time.

    “I’m just messin with ya” is the universal code for, “Please let me be an asshole without facing consequences.”

  13. joaquin says:

    Tyro – Drool, spitting. What is it with you and oral fluids? What’s that the universal code for?

  14. Tyro says:

    In an earlier era which you do not now and have never participated in, many people engaged in discussions held in person whereby the claims they made were made in oral conversation. Most of our metaphors still revolve around oral discussion… something that you, stuck in your mother’s basement, do not have a lot of experience with. The speech of the most incoherent of these participants, such as yourself, were termed to be no different than drooling. I find it to be rather burdensome to explain metaphors that most everyone else understands, but your entire experience on this thread seems to be one of cluelessness and befuddlement at to figure out what’s going on and what’s so exciting about today. You should be thankful that we take the time to explain these things to you.

  15. Bruce Henry says:

    “”just messin’ with ya” is the universal code for ‘Please let me be an asshole without facing consequences’”
    In the South, that’s akin to the BlessHisHeart Rule. For example, “She’s the biggest whore in town, bless her heart.”

  16. Bruce Henry says:

    Or, “Isn’t that joaquin a dumbass? Bless his heart.”

    I think Jay finally taught his mom how to use the internets.

    This post is titled “We Shall Overcome: Martin Luther King Day 1/19/09″. Do you really have no idea what that means? Or are you tap-dancing…er….disingenuously sandbagging around the issue of the day?

    Don’t you worry your pretty little head about answering. We know where you stand.

    Thanks for undermining a post about the person for whom today is celebrated. Mission accomplished.
