1. This Has Been Another Episode Of Lame Comments From No One In Particular, Sir

In a thread here on DU recently, members expressed their support for this strike. Anyone who thinks supports it.

'Bernie' is just tagging along, not leading.

"Quickly, tell me where are the people? I must hurry there to lead them!"





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

3. I find nothing of substance in your post sir

4. I Would Not Expect You Too, Sir

Substance is not your strong suit....

6. I have always thought it to be one of them sir but I must confess

empathy to be a very close second.

7. Admitting A Problem, Sir, Is The First Step To Overcoming It

8. Well good luck with that sir.

9. You Keep Setting 'Em Up, Sir, And I Will Keep Knocking 'Em Down

"Children make the best opponenets at Scrabble, as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat."
