Not a conversation stopper
It was one of those moments last night at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee victory party in Washington.

The energized crowd was watching every race closely, monitoring the eventual Democratic smack down, according to one of our spies. CNN was playing, and at one point the anchor signaled one of those moments everyone was waiting for.

"We have a new Senate campaign to call," the announcer said.

The crowd was expecting Montana, maybe Missouri or Ohio -- one of the closely contested races this year. People were hushed waiting for the name, bracing to cheer.

And then CNN called the race for Orrin Hatch. And everyone went back to their drinks.

dear amerika people:

please my frends of america. Do not let joy of happiness cloud duty to those who have suffered so much in the land of the believing monotheists.

We hope you can investigation to this:

1. Who start this war? How originate? In Waziristan in the madrassa they tell us of the neocon group of shatan people. We hope you them all stoned at your local soccer stadium.

2. whence came from the false stories called as the faked WMD intel? To let these planters of disinformation escape would be unjust to the memory of your Dr. Benjamin Franklin. What nation statelet provide middle east intel to u.s.a. of america ? Nek Mohammed say israeli. Please let us know yuor true answer.

3. Is true neocon group are 99% jhovah witness church? Or maybe a different church but we are told they come from one group of evil doing persons. Please find this out and punish the guilty.

Please send navy seal team 7 to pakistan so that they may continue their torture technique on our traitor president mursharaff. In Urdu “musharaff” to mean eater of dung of white man.

Please also prepare registery of u.s.a. torturers so that these soul may receive treatment and medicine to cure their brains of these evil acts. What if they returned to your nation and became police or gym teachers. This is too dangerous in truth for amreika. Pls set up computer list and make have chips implanted in head so they can be tracked and treated.

Perhaps in the future they can call it on Monday, like those technical Oscars that are awarded offscreen the morning before the show. P.S. I don't know why this suddenly came to mind, but why doesn't the Trib ever delete off-topic comments? I think it discourages on-topic comments, knowing that they will likely be buried in a pile of OT.

I used to think these were most boring posts in America. I read the Tucson Star just to interact in what a blog should be. The Trib has the lamest blog in America and they do not even recognize it. Hey noise man is this off topic enough for you?
