But since Anakin was the only character with enough name recognition that made the transition to the Dark Side I had to go with it.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691384412216558403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-18939567744292783672010-03-17T22:43:41.982-05:002010-03-17T22:43:41.982-05:00Your analogy is so tortured that a true Star Wars ...Your analogy is so tortured that a true Star Wars fan does not even know where to begin.<br /><br />So I'll only point out the big flaw: Anakin Skywalker was immaculately conceived by the will of the force. This makes his fall oh-so-tragic. Imagine if Jesus one day flipped out, stopped healing lepers, and starting choking people with his mind. Actually, try not to imagine that. It's terribly sad.<br /><br />But if a lower level Jedi functionary turns to the Dark Side, say, some sort of semi-regional disgruntled Jedi secretary who was never all that talented with the force and bitter about it....Well that's just predictable.Mark Bankston, Jedi Attorney at Lawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-377276572062902742010-03-17T10:00:01.771-05:002010-03-17T10:00:01.771-05:00Oh, my, my--to vote for the other political party ...Oh, my, my--to vote for the other political party while a holding an office in the opposing, political party is a very horrid, back-stabbing thing to do. Who needs enemies with supposed friends who engage in deceitful betrayal? The fact that this woman is leaving the party is a plus, but, it remains a simultaneous fact that the rules should be changed. To have a Benedict Arnold serve out an expiring term when the act of betraying deceit has been actualized, publically is not "right" ; it’s like have an enemy spy infiltrated within your camp or a sheep disrobe to show it is a wolf in your hen house. Yes, indeed, a rule should be in place to address such an occurrence. It is, indeed, harmful for the party that the Benedict Arnold is exiting. <br /><br />Moreover, even though it was time for Elaine Bishop to go; however, it was “still” very dirty politics for this woman to vote against her patron. Shame, shame, shame. Good riddance to bad rubbish!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-62540141276564789232010-03-16T20:13:57.498-05:002010-03-16T20:13:57.498-05:00Hal,
I don't think we should warn the Repugs ...Hal,<br /><br />I don't think we should warn the Repugs what that are getting. They deserve her. After all we put up with, her snipping, back-stabbing, lying, questionable use of finances, screwing up the paper work, her inability to spell Steve, and being a down-right two faced hussy I can only say... Carol, don't let the door hit you in your big back end on your way out of town!Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004029230371635034noreply@blogger.com
