An apology…….

In retrospect I probably should not have identified the source of those emails. I was not aware there was an “effort by some to have her removed from her position within the 9th District GOP”. I make it a rule not to get involved in petty disputes that pre-date my joining an organization. For that I apologize.

Updated on 3/2 to add: I’m told by several reliable sources that her apology was dated 2/25 – 3 days after the email was sent and 4 days before my original post.

Bill,

I’m pretty sure you dislike me. But it’s not because I’m not in the GOP. I’d wager it’s because I’m pretty arrogant and smart-mouthed. Oh, and there are of course other reasons:

If you don’t like me as a result of this thread wonderful.

rugby fan March 3, 2008 at 1:37 pm

Or Jace, to use the popular parlance, you are not a frigtard.

Bill Simon March 3, 2008 at 1:47 pm

Dudes…I rarely develop personal animosities strictly from a blog like this SIMPLY because this is not personal. Stop taking it as such.

Dig?

Bill Simon March 3, 2008 at 1:48 pm

Rugby,

Soooo…you are admitting you’re a Democrat?

Jace Walden March 3, 2008 at 1:49 pm

Bill,

I’d like to get your opinion on a matter of personal importance. Discuss.

Bill Simon March 3, 2008 at 2:42 pm

Jace,

If beating Tech allows the UGA whiners to have solace in their hour of LOSING the opportunity to get the SEC Title, then I am happy to oblige you. If it saves some pheasants from getting blown out of the sky because people like Jace are allowed another outlet for their frustration, we Techies are okay with that.

…satill waiting for Konop’s brilliant proof of who I dislike…

John Konop March 3, 2008 at 4:37 pm

Bill

It was a question not an answer. Only you can answer it.

Bill Simon March 3, 2008 at 5:10 pm

Oh…in that case, “No”, John..I do not view every Democrat as my “mortal enemy.”

HOWEVER, I do view people who are ignorant (be they GOP or DEM or none of the above) as the mortal enemy of success.

Your hysterical piling-on regarding slamming Bettye Chambers for her mere forwarding on of a cartoon demonstrates just how ignorant YOU are.

Your constant blame about the GOP being this, that, or the other, demonstrates more and more how signficantly immature you are about politics and people.

Quite honestly, except for your fiscal views, you sound like a whining, ninny-bob liberal when you go hysterical over blaming Chambers for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG.

Bill Simon March 3, 2008 at 5:11 pm

Correction: “…over blaming Chambers for her doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG.”

Bill

I think rugby fan’s major party affiliation is rugby and beer drinking. I think you should take a deep breath and relax or have a beer with rugby fan on Sunday. This may upset Bettye Chambers, if so we will all read about via e-mail.

I wonder what that cartoon will look like?

Do it Bill. It’s for the children.

Bill Simon March 3, 2008 at 5:52 pm

John,

_I_ should “relax?” I’m not the one who hysterically screams out “RACIST!” with multiple exclamation points.

John Konop March 3, 2008 at 5:58 pm

Bill

It was for the children!!!!!!

Rick Day March 3, 2008 at 6:02 pm

Its threads like this that give me hope that the Republican Party will eat itself alive.

Inside~out.

Then we will all smoke Camels, afterward.

Chris March 3, 2008 at 6:20 pm

Rick –

Alas, after the GOP eats itself from the inside out, the majority ruling democrats will outlaw smoking because its causes the US Health Service to run over budget.

They will also outlaw alcohol, fast food, and driving over 30mph.

Careful what you wish for. There are worse things than gridlocked government (See: United States 2000-2006)

Bill Simon March 3, 2008 at 7:01 pm

Chris,

They will not outlaw cigarettes. They love the tax too much ON the cigarettes.

AND, when the Cuban cigar market opens-up, they will love taxing that market even more.

Bill Simon March 3, 2008 at 7:03 pm

Rick,

Have you read about the new research on smoking? They’ve discovered that if you actually insert the lit end into the mouth that you get a better, purer nicotine kick.

Check it out, and let us know how that works for you.

Icarus March 3, 2008 at 7:04 pm

Wrong Bill.

They will outlaw cigarettes. They don’t want the competition for the newly legalized (and heavily taxed) weed.

Bill Simon March 3, 2008 at 7:04 pm

John,

I suspect you think Bugs Bunny and Road Runner cartoons contain too much violence for the children, eh?

Did yo march with Tipper Gore in the 1980s about explicit lyrics?

Jace Walden March 4, 2008 at 10:58 am

John,

I think I’m going to change my party affiliation to “Rugby-playing and Beer-Drinking”. That sounds like the best party in town.

rugby fan March 4, 2008 at 11:13 am

It truly is Jace.

John Konop March 4, 2008 at 11:35 am

rugby fan

Is your sponsor (import) Heineken or (American made) Coors? And how much beer do you drink during membership meetings? And what is the cover charge? Remember Jace is almost ready to join.

John Konop March 4, 2008 at 11:45 am

One more question, do you have a ladies night?
