FeverswampVille
lenin’s ghost and I are old friends.
We first met in the comment threads at Billmon’s now defunct Whiskey Bar, way back in the dinosaur days when the feverswamps were the only place to find a little truth, and a whole lotta conversation, in a dirty glass.
And while l.g. may take umbrage at the following description, I always think of him as a hard-headed leftist which a heckuva slap-shot.

Anyway….
l.g. stopped by recently and left a late comment at the bottom of the now kinda/sorta infamous Schlieffen Plan/Snooki/Birdman/Curmudgeon post in which I if the BC-Dippers 39% would hold if, say, the LINO’s and the hived-off Cons were to suddenly reunite, at the last minute, just before the spring 2013 election.
It is now, officially, a semi-infamous post (at least in my own mind), because my favourite Public Eye Radio rabble-rouser, Eleanor Gregory, quoted from it verbatim on this morning’s show.
In addition, Ms. Gregory also offered to send me brownies when I thanked her for…..errrr…’accused’ her of stealing my stuff.
But all this self-congratulatory babble is really nothing more than bubble-wrap around the heart of the matter, which l.g. got straight to with his comment:
“The real issue is whether or not the dippers have their sh*t together to run a government properly….”
So.
I ask l.g., and anyone else out there that wishes to comment also.
Are they?
Ready to govern, I mean.

It was actually a fantastic week for comments on a whole lotta levels, including a clutch of new folks stopping by….In that regard, John G’s comment wherein he wondered where the line for conflict with the Lotuslandian political punditry actually lies was a great one….And then there was the running conversation with Santa Rosa Jon and Mr. Beer ‘N Hockey about their poetry that became a song….And thanks a million to music man Don F. for the digital recording advice.
