No; I don't mind. There are too many other things in life that are worth being concerned about.

I'm glad that I was able to help you learn something today.

That is good. Being that you are a left leaning liberal I suspect that will be your claim to fame . I would say you could learn a lot from this association but that is simply not possible with a liberal, that is why you are a liberal

I'm sure that you are quite correct here. Your brilliance comes through your posts to such an extent that I can barely see my keyboard. That is clearly an indication that your wisdom is on such a level that it would be too much of a challenge for me to absorb.

In the meantime, though, could you take pity on me and supply me with some grammar lessons? I want to be able to at least begin to write the way that you do.

Maybe I could pass for a conservative if I did...

Maybe it isn't my brilliance that is keeping you from seeing the keyboard, Metalksalot.

Met, I think that the affectation of Pain's speech is so noticeable to us Alaskans since we listened to her normal voice so much on the local news before she hit that national stage.

Yes, I do recall the days when the ex-governor sounded almost normal. There was the matter of that nasal twang, though, but I don't think that's something that can be helped.

No; I haven't. But I've met a lot of people from BC and Alaskans don't talk much like them either.

I take it those grammar lessons will have to wait until you've finished stuffing your face with insects of the sea?

Perhaps I can flag down a passing third grader to assist me in achieving your linguistic level while you're gone.

"Unintelligent"? Have you listend to half of the Democrats in the House and Senate? Specifically: Barbara Boxer? Nancy Peloci? Just to name two!

Palin is far mor intelligent than these two.

Obama has a speech impediment. That whistle drives me nuts! That is a speech impediment.

Sorry. But you aren't convincing me. You sound like the typical hateful left. you don't like her message; so, you attack her as a person. That doesn't score points. Makes you look like an ass.
