I witnessed the most amazing event this a.m. I saw a huge SUV (a Suburban)
being parallel-parked by a woman! She handled the oversized car as well as any
man. I was astonished. This was something I'd never seen before. In my mind,
parallel parking has always been the province of males.

Clearly, if a woman can learn to parallel-park, then women can easily handle
the stresses of warfare and combat. Not to wax apocalyptic (woof!), but I'd
say women's liberation has finally been achieved.

Also, props to Obama for getting on the right side of the homophobia issue in
California. Getting re-elected, even if his opponent was a turkey, has
obviously freed the Prez to follow his conscience instead of pandering and
hedging like he did in '08.

Of course, any reply to your post is also a reply to George, the

All these years and you're still confused by usenet.
Try google options and view as tree...the indents indicate to whom you
are replying.

And if you were actually trying to reply to George via my post....why
did you scrub off his sexist drooling? Or are you as easily amazed by
parallel parking?

course.

Congrats! You've now extended George's lead over yourself.

Funny you should mention parallel parking. Did you just buy a
self-parking car?

I know you're not very current...technically...but google has owned
the usenet archives for quite. But indent and reply to post is pretty
commonly supported in most readers.

No, I'm more interested in an anti-drone drone. But perhaps what
George saw in action was a self parking car and was simply confused.
Technology has long passed him by.

Who said anything different? However, google is not usenet no matter who

It appears you like to pretend others aren't up-to-date. You must miss
being on the cutting edge at work. Why not go exchange notes with the
retired dudes on uk.rec.audio now that your writing has improved past
its former self-disqualifying level?

Actually...you did. But this is quickly becoming typical...who said
what when and what did they really mean or think they meant or just
went delusional.
You remind me of O'Reily claiming Obama never proposed a spending cut.
Now if he just said he never proposed a spending he actually intended
to implement, he would have been right.

Not exactly. Some people are obsolete...while others were

I was expecting some gloating from the Weenie Far Right now that Socialist
Obama's destruction of the mighty U.S. economy is complete. Here's today's
update from the Pinko Times:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Unemployment at 4-Year Low as U.S. Hiring Gains Steam

Bolstered by a healthier private sector, the United States economy gained
236,000 jobs in February, well above what had been expected, while the
unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, its lowest level since December 2008.
The gains were broad-based, the Labor Department said Friday, with sectors
ranging from manufacturing to business services turning in healthy results.
Construction was especially strong, adding 48,000 jobs, a sign that the
recovery in the housing market is beginning to translate into new jobs.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Not to mention the huge expansion in the bloodsucking gov't workforce:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Public-sector employment continued to shrink, however, as the number of
government employees nationwide fell by 10,000.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Scottie & Co. were right all along. Obama has nationalized the car companies,
neutered the military, confiscated millions of guns, and spread welfare wide
and deep among his peeps. The apocalpyse is upon us.

Not to speak out of turn, but it's probably a waste of time trying to get
Witless to acknowledge his own shitfulness. I think a simple scolding would
