That's the problem with voice recognition software. You obviously
wanted to post this political bull guano to the "voting" newsgroup- and
darned if you weren't tripped up by technology and you landed in the
"boating" newsgroup instead. Until they come out with a downloadable
patch to fix you program, you'll simply have to enunciate very clearly.

No mistake on my part Chuckie! Besides I like the fact that you blast me for
political posts but you refrain from doing so to others. Keep up the double
standard.

I got a particular kick out of Justice Kennedy's concern about the
convoluted districts.

"....Kennedy said the result was an odd-looking map that mixed voters of
very different backgrounds..."

If that is of serious concern to Justice Kennedy, he ought to take a moment
to look at the Massachusetts district map, which is the result of fifty
years or more of unabated, unrestricted jockeying on the part of the
overwhelmingly Democrat state legislature, the sole aim of which has been to
solidify the nest of those in power and to throw those who don't play ball
off the boat [nautical connection]. The districts are all gerrymandered to
death, but pay special attention to the smooth, cohesive boundary and shape
of the Mass 4th District, seat of the Hon. Barney Frank.

How many more than *zero* boating related posts have you offered in the
last year?
I'd llike to know what I have somehow missed...only a few people who *never*
post about boats or boating insist on dumping their political jerk wads
into a boating NG. Got anything to cut 'n paste about boats, or are you
only hanging around here hoping that the political wars break out
again?

I find Bert's contributions knowledgeable, interesting and enjoyable.
I've also had the displeasure of meeting you in person and noticing how
quickly your glitz wears away upon closer review. I also suspect you are
not the moderator of this NG nor as magnificent as you perceive.

Got anything to post besides continued references to you superior
"boating CV" that might be boating related today? Of course not.

Now there's an excellent example of the type of useless crap and
personal attacks that pop up.

Does Skipper have *any* recent boating stories?

Yep, and more to come. Where can we find the Kool Kearns Kruising
Adventures posted?

And these are posted, where?

Not a one in the Google archives from Kearns. Do you have any cruising
experience of note, Kearns?

There's some truth to your statement, but it *would* be nice if everyone
stopped the political crap!
