          OK - I just went back through all of your posts, and do not find a single place where you have identified a statement I've made about how the government works that is incorrect. You've made a lot of opinion-based assertions, and you clearly don't like the idea of the popular vote, but I find no place where you have identified a specific point I made about the operation of our government that was in error.

          I'm going to assume the broadside was another case of hyperbole and leave it at that. We clearly disagree on the popular vote at the national executive level. I didn't expect otherwise.

            Obviously your skills at reading my posts is as lacking as your knowledge of the government. I have no further response so I will let you have the last word.

              Obviously you're blowing smoke, or you wouldn't have a problem identifying even one place where this has happened.

                That would actually be zyzzogeton or Zyzzyva, depending on the dictionary.

                  OK - have it your way.

                  Sparko, consider this the zyzzyva!



                  (you know, I think I'm going to remember that and keep it handy! It's kinda fun...)



                  ETA: So do you know what the FIRST word is? No fair peeking...
