There are more serious pathologies in Donkledom than Thanksralphery, but none so consistently hilarious. The conviction that a few thousand fringe characters, rather than the hundreds of thousands of registered Democrats who voted for the Republican candidate, were the wooden stake through the mechanical heart of the electronic Saint Albert Gore is only one of many sharp edges in the cracked ontology...

But we were trying to do the roundtable quickly so I went ahead and answered. After it was over, I did tell Dona that I thought I spoke more than she had down -- she makes pen marks to indicate how much we speak,...
