A follow-up question:

Could an opponent respond with, "I'm a lover, not a fighter" or something along those lines?

Sorry if this comes up twice...I was having some trouble posting.

I think the only candidate who can use the word fight is Barbara Boxer. And she does.

Shrum doesn't do her campaign, though.

I concede my share of the Thunderbird, which I just found out I can't drink for ANOTHER FIVE MONTHS! At this point somebody will probably start making that stuff they make in trashbags in prison. But I digress.

I tried to google these phrases in the hopes that they would come up relatively easily. Sadly, it was not to be. Taking its various places were odes to the (apparently)long lamented cancellation of the syndicated TV show "Fight Back with John Horowitz," a Florida representative from the 21st district saying something about killing terrorists, a junior soccer league website, and www.fightbackamerica.com, incidentally another website about killing terrorists.

Proof that Shrum needs a new act? Probably.

Why can't you drink for five months? Is it a medical thing, or one of the sacrifices you are called on to make in our never-ending fight against the Serbian menace? I can send you a good recipe for homemade rice wine.

Actually the Albanians have been imitating thier oppressors lately, as seen on CNN, right before we got extended...And yes, some crazy theory about mixing weapons, live ammo, and liquor. I don't get it either.

What I'm trying to say is send the recipe for rice wine. And some rice. It'll be like Great Escape!

Are you shitting me? They expect you to go out there and waste Serbians sober?!? I thought there were officer's clubs and all that sort of thing. I'll look up the recipe.
