Yesterday I troll rated Senator Kennedy. I did it in fun and then I wrote a comment explaining the rating.
Basically, the explanation was that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to exercise the ability to troll rate a U.S. Senator, even one whom I so admire. Something to do with my tendency to want to buck authority.
It was a Friday afternoon, I was giddy over the indictments and the coming weekend (my wife and I are traveling) and was just being silly.
In reality I admire Senator Kennedy, I agree with him on pretty much all political issues and I wrote that I applaud his steadfastness over the years in the face of all the horrible things that have been said about him.
That comment has since disappeared, as has my ability to rate any comments at all. I can't even go back in and change my rating to a 4 if I want to.
I'm a liberal. I'm a spiritual, down-to-earth, meditating, will help my neighbor out, blue-blooded, married to someone from another country, Bill of Rights loving, dyed in the wool liberal, progressive Democrat!
I think that Senator Kennedy is a wonderful politician, a liberal's liberal if you will.
I was being silly and some overly serious person has fucked with my account because of it.
I dunno if I'll be able to get into any discussions downthread, as I need to pack for our trip today. I'll try to check back in.
Much love,
