Comments on: I’m sorry. I was too busy concentrating on my ginormous dick and I didn’t hear your question

Methinks you need your troll detector adjusted. I cannot see how grousing about a lack of captioning on YouTube videos possibly falls under the heading of “trolling” — in fact, I’d say your response comes a lot closer. Here’s a tip for you from someone who works in IT — one of the biggest drains on an organization’s bandwidth usually comes from all the people watching streaming media during their workday, when that sort of content hasn’t been blocked, so solai’s not exactly a freak of nature for watching from work. And as someone who’s hearing isn’t what it used to be, I can tell you that it’s nice to have a transcript or something when people mumble or the sound quality is only so-so, rather than crank the volume on your PC so that everyone in your office knows what you’re watching.

I thought that solai was referring to all the silences in the video and thought that s/he was missing something. Asking for the subtext, I guess.

First, I absolutely do recognize trolling and I also know an intended insult when I see it. For the reading impaired? I beg to differ. You are the one with a problem and you are out of line.

Second, Solai is no troll. She’s been here a lot longer than you. Calling her that and other things as you have done is quite trollish, IMO.

I come to TBogg for a respite from this kind of trash and a bit of a laugh. Thanks.

Smiling dog is correct about suspecting some neurological deficit. I dealt with a rageaholic on a HOA board years ago; when things didn’t go his way or we didn’t agree with him, the blinking went into overdrive and the anger got totally out of proportion to the situation. Three months after he was voted off the board, the early onset alzheimers diagnosis came down. McSame behaves exactly like this guy did; same phase in the diagnosis, same ability to hold it together as long as there are no challenges or off the script questions to deal with.

Jeebus, we don’t need another C- (894th out of 899) student in the White House. And a senile one at that.

That’s my take. First thing that came to mine was micro-stroke. I am not a doctor, but while it could be a number of things, medical “event” tops the list. I don’t see a guy that lost concentration, that was a total neurological time-out. I would love to see the analysis of a doctor on this tape.

It would be an act of cruelty to elect this man to the highest pressure job in the country (maybe the world, but country is enough for the purpose of this comment).

He doesn’t have the acumen to stick with his own campaign’s talking points. He has no clue about the culture and history of the middle east and how it is affecting/will affect our strategic outlook with regard to both Iraq and our dependency on oil. He can’t spontaneously respond to a question from the political opposition…

He might WANT to take it all on, but the reality is that he simply is not up to it. Electing McCain to the presidency would be asking - no, demanding — that he fail. And fail big time. That is too cruel to contemplate.

It would be an act of compassion to elect Obama as president. Both for the public as well as McCain.

Ahh… that explains why he’s having such a tough time learning how to use a computer! He’s got Windows ME with Office 2000!

John McCain, like George Bush only older and angrier.

It would be irresponsible of us not to speculate about his mental state, whether it has been damaged by Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, his cancer treatment or possibly a metastatic lesion of the melanoma to his brain. Perhaps that is what is causing his anger problems as well.

Yeah, but he, he’s, he’s as smart, curious and intellectually alert as possible.

As possible?…As possible for what?
