Suddenly from the sidelines a group of players makes a rush to the end zone! Ymarsaker, suek and Danny Lemieux gather at the goal post and, with a "one, two, THREE!" pull it up while Charles Martel and BrianE dig a new hole thirty feet to the right with shovels. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle go the feet of Y, suek, and Charles, to the right; another "one, two, THREE!", and kerplunk! The goal posts... have been moved! They rush back to the sidelines.

I knew Goal Posts. Goal Posts were friends of mine. You don't know Jack about Goal Posts." Mike, I sent the following message to Ravana via my secret contact in the Tamil Tigers:

As much as I often disagree with her views, I find it’s more constructive than dealing with the rest of you, who seem only interested in shifting the goal posts. >> Hey y'all, let's give Ravana some due. She (?) said she was going to wait for our High Queen to speak with her, and no longer bother with us disgusting rabble. One imagines an imperious shake of her head with the upturned nose; her subsequent sweeping approach toward the Throne Room door, outside which she waits with vast impatience and imperiousness for her admittance. And so far... she's keeping her word on not talking to us anymore! Congrats to her! ... No! Wait! She has turned around! Her eyes flash! She purses her lips with irritation. She prepares to speak (haughtily)! No, she has changed her mind, turned her back to us again at the Throne Room Door, and again waits with vast impatience. So, y'all! Now, back to <b>our</b> regularly scheduled programming... ;-) Ravanna said,

When you're on hold, you do dumb stuff to pass the time. Think of it as Tigers playing with mice. Or something. Good thing it'll be over tomorrow...or will it? The eligibility suit is still out there. Shakespeare was right - first kill all the lawyers. Oops. Now Oz will quote _me_ as a right wing wacko extemist...! We’re on hold, Danny.

She has successfully segued the threat into talk about Tamil Tigers and other irrelevancies. The election tomorrow and then, depending on the outcome, discussion of the candidates should be over. If Obama wins, Ravana gets her way and the rest of the world can deal with the barbarian hordes (careful for what you wish for). If McCain wins, then the Democrats to do their banana republic thing, hold their breaths and pout as lawyers descend upon the states. Book? Can you cut her off? There's just no there, there.

If the Tigers are supported by Bush or conservatives, they are absolute evildoers who must be crushed. 2. If The Anointed One is sympathetic to the Tigers, they are God's own and must be supported with arms and money. 3. If they do not fall on either side of Good vs. Evil, I really don't care about them. 4. I'm not really in Sri Lanka (you'd have a better chance of finding me in Danville or Novato), so I really don't know much about big cats. Maybe a zoologist could help you.
