Two zen monks were traveling together and came upon a river. On the shore was a woman who begged them to help her cross to the other side. The younger monk hoisted the woman up on his shoulders and waded the river with her. The older monk followed.
The two monks continued their journey in silence for a few hours, the younger one was serene, the older was visibly angry. Finally, the older monk spoke:
- Why did you carry that woman across the river? The rules of our community clearly forbid s to touch women, under any cirmustances.
The younger monk answered:
- I stopped carrying that woman hours ago. You still have her on your shoulders
Quit carrying that woman on your shoulders. Hillary Clinton has conceded. Mockery of her or her supporters is now, at best, useless, and can be detrimental. Good people who were on her side are coming around, because they are good people. Visit MyDD sometime.
Also, there are many crazy idiots in the world. It is pointless to pay attention to them. Sites like No Quarter will peter out on their own, or will keep just a few commenters who are as crazy or crazier than the owner of the site. Of course we should shoot down every smear of Obama, but there is no need to draw attention to the crazy bastards who crave it so much.
POME (Protecting Our Massive Egos) will also wind down. An undertaking so stupid cannot last long. It will die down on it's own.
In honor of this thing being over, and in the spirit of winding down and building community, I offer the following poll:
