No, Mal, I am
very much alive. Just this morning I launched the following missile of mass distraction into a forum of rabid, rabid Obamabots. I'm a real tough bastard, Mal, and I cut my teeth in the culture wars of 2005 on
The Fantastic Forum. I am definitely gonna burn, but like the phoenix, I shall rise again.
Here's my post. Can you imagine how it is going to be received by the Obamabots?

There are moments in legislative history that reveal the legislators for what they are. As everybody knows by now, John McCain (AKA Cap'n Jack) openly voted (1) to reject the Feingold-inspired amendment to strike the immunity provision from
the Telecom Immunity Bill, and (2) to support the final bill. In contrast, Hillary Clinton (AKA Lady Macbeth, after Burham Wood started moving toward Dunsane) was missing-in-action for both votes.
But the most interesting vote was Obama's. The Obamabots are screaming that Obama was present in the Senate to support the rejection of the immunity provision, which was defeated 61-37. This is quite true. But what is equally true --- and not being publicized by the Obamabots --- is that Obama did
not vote to oppose the final passage of the bill itself, which was approved 69-28 and which now is on its way to the more feisty House of Representatives. The real bottom line is that neither Clinton nor Obama are on record as opposing the final
Telecom Immunity Bill, while Cap'n Jack is joyously on record as supporting it.
Oh, how cunning Obama is! But people are getting wise to it. You just wait. One day, while the Obamabots are streaming their usual tears at his hope-n-change rhetoric, you are going to see the look in their dim-witted eyes change from rapt adoration to confused resentment. And then Obama will begin to learn the truth of the old Hindu proverb that “he who rides the tiger is afraid to dismount.” Boy, will that be fun to watch! Hell hath no fury like a fanbase scorned! Stay tuned, sports fans. The main action will be on, right after a brief commercial message...
