Zakim bests Galvin at Dem convention

q.v. "Non-Party Candidates for Federal and Statewide Offices" http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/elepdf/2018-State-Primary-Calendar-New-Da...

You do know how delegates get to go to the Democratic Convention right? They are elected by their ward committees and contrary to your belief, all the ward committees are not controlled by the Marty Walsh. Frankly I didn't know that Mayor Walsh had thrown his endorsement to Josh Zakim until after I cast my vote for Zakim.

Who doesn't love a fart joke?

Except those who love to testily explain at length how far they are above loving fart jokes.

if there was one, long preceded Shakespeare. In his time a petard was a bomb, a kind of mine used for bringing down walls. This meaning is obvious in the original context:

For 'tis the sport to have the engineer
Hoist with his own petar, an't shall go hard
But I will delve one yard below their mines
And blow them at the moon.

Hamlet is describing the nasty trick he is setting up for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. It's hard to find a fart in that metaphor unless you are really eager for fart jokes.

The verb 'to fart' is péter in French, and that may have been the origin of the name of the explosive device, but it was well established before Shakespeare got to it.

The Dubya "Democrat" thing? Petty and spiteful and unimaginative as ever, Fish.

(also, do you actually think anyone with a functioning nervous system is stupid enough to take your "speaking for a friend" advice on what the DEMOCRATIC Party should do?)

Ever notice Fish leaves out the sensory details and other written flourishes that are typical of stories told by honest people. A liar will try to be as incomplete as possible on details, including time, because these are difficult to construct and then keep consistent to in later renditions of the story.

Most of what he posts is purposely short and vague. This is because a longer, more complete, and spelled out a story is, the more likely it is to be true. Again, telling a lie or a string of lies takes more effort. It means that he has to create an entire scenario out of his head. Brevity may be “the soul of wit,” but it’s also the soul of a lie.

A first glance at Fish’s various comments may give you the initial impression that he is being sincere and forthright. However, upon closer examination of the words he uses, the pejorative, descriptive, adjectives he applies to people, the false facts and disinformation he spreads, one quickly learns he is inherently deceptive and, by the way, not very good at it.

Often, his comments don’t make sense and are full of contradictions. Fortunately, most UHub members long ago caught onto his game. They know that a true story will hang together better than a string of lies. Always remember, his objective is to confuse by employing tactics to divert attention from the real issue, to argue and create dissent by deliberately use ambiguity or doublespeak in order to deceive or mislead. Fish is an experienced troll but not particularly skillful one. Most of the time, his MO is: "do not look here, let me confuse you to stay focused on minutiae of unrelated details…ultimately I want to divert everyone else’s thoughts and attention to me and my agenda.”

I was just responding without going down the "Judeo Christian" rathole.

Although the New Testament is both unique and distinct from the Old Testament, with which much shared with the Torah, Quran, etc. And it is distinct in ways that OT flogging "Christians" of the sort who see Drumpf as their neomessiah tend to forget or never bothered to learn.

...at the Mass 1st district. Should be interesting...
