    Geez... can't you just treat me like SwoLy? I didn't really mean to make it seem like it was that important to me... just a damn smiley.

    Hey, hey, hey, hey.... let's not go there buddy.

    Who is "we"? Apparently, "we" don't all agree. Personally, I switch back and forth between using the article and dropping it. It's good both ways.

    EDIT: I heard Parker this morning saying Locke was a rookie who made all kinds of rookie mistakes. And, that a mayor's race was "no time to take the training wheels off." Not a very classy way to start her service.

    Yeah, that surprised me. While what she said was true, you're supposed to be gracious to your opponent in victory. That to me smacks of bitterness over the anti-gay groups that lobbied against her leading up to the election. Not very classy.

    But yeah, Locke screwed up big time. And this election is just the latest example of why the religious right still just doesn't get it (and I say this as a Christian).
