Of course, it was inevitable.

That the moment I resolve to start writing, I get the worst case of writer's block ever.

Which leads me to ask for your help.

Suggest a topic for me to write 500 words on. It could be a setting, a character, or even a simple emotion, noun, or one-wpord description. Be as precise or as vague as you want to be. I only ask that if I do your suggestion, you give me feedback.

Thanks.

that sounds like Daily Kos..... why repeat reality?

But she was thinking of Rush Limbaugh, the last part of your question is still pertinent though

so you agree that Daily Kos is divorced from reality.....

No ... I think that you chose to misunderstand me.

I said nothing about any kind of Kos, daily or otherwise, unless Rush is submitting articles to one someplace.

But look at that man & tell me what part of his lifestyle (especially before he hit the "big time") is "Republican?" Why he's an even bigger draft dodger than George III.

you obviously know much more about Rush than most people..... how long have you been a fan? personally, i've never listened to him, or anyone else on talk radio.

however, i have read the occasional Daily Kos post/thread, usually when it exceeds even their standards for delusion, derangement or plain old antisemitism.

1). I disavow the last three "capplor" comments in this thread -- it's a shared account.

2). The absurdity of the things that made major headlines OUTSIDE of his own show (which I've never watched) sticks in memory. It amazes me that you DON'T remember such things, inasmuch as the complete illogic surpasses normal standards like a 7 point earthquake in California is news even though 'tremors' are not.

2.a) Draft dodger IS an accurate characterization. His alleged grounds for dodging was a cyst on his @ss. I had the same condition (well, everyone has an @ss, don't they) and not only didn't dodge, but signed up for military service. (Got the cyst removed on existing medical insurance not the government dime, certified that I was fine, and did 8 years for my country)

2.b) Doesn't anybody else find the fact of a hard-of-hearing talk show host a bit odd? Maybe he doesn't listen to anybody else's facts because he can't.

2.c) The drug charges. 'Nuff said?

2.d) VIAGRA? Not enough said! If he'd just bought some legally it wouldn't have been news, but he managed to get caught in way to make maximum headlines. Did he, in fact, want the publicity? He couldn't have gotten more airtime if he'd planned it as a stunt.

OK, Red, we get it. The people of this nation have overwhelmingly rejected the Republican Party and everything it stands for, you don't like that, and are striking out. Cool.

But this thread is about helping me with my writing. You want to debate politics? Wait for me to talk about politics.
