CALL ME A SELF-IMPORTANT, LONGWINDED DORK — by Steve Nadis
2005 ended with a bang. While I was “South of the Border,” unable to defend myself from the usual attempts at character assassination, an astute reader, who goes by the moniker “Arnold S.” (sound like anyone you know?), called me a “self-important, longwinded dork,” as well as a “twit” and a “moron.” At least he agrees with my wife on the last one. The other terms, so far as I know, are firsts for me–personal bests, you might say. I’ve never heard the word twit applied in my direction and the longer expression, SILWD, has a nice ring to it.
I’m inclined to agree with Arnold S., seeing as how he seems to be quite an expert on the subject. He’s also shown himself to be a shrewd judge of character, given his fondness for W. and his merry band of friends. So, in conclusion, I’d like to say–in self-important, longwinded fashion–that fiscal year 2005 ended on a very nice note for me personally, as well as fiscally. (I can’t speak for the rest of you though, lord knows, I try.) I can only hope for equally good treatment in 2006.

Welcome back, SILWD. That doesn”t roll off the tongue quite like Snark, that other name you didn”t want to be called.
Apropos of nothing, have you noticed that when W doesn”t want to do something, e.g. cut and run, he says "Not on my watch?" Have you been able to figure out when his watch is, exactly? Perhaps the US could exit from Iraq when it is someone else’’s watch, e.g. when Bush is down in Crawford clearing brush, avoiding Gold Star Mothers, or catching up on video of New Orleans. That might be a way to get out of Iraq without his losing face.
Welcome back, Snake, Steve, SILWD (at least the first letter is a constant)! Nothing like a warm blog/hotspot waiting for you! Did you save the umbrellas from the drinks?
Some intriguing ideas, TB; I must follow up on them. Thanks to you & FW for the "welcome back"’’s. It’’s good to be back. At least that’’s what everyone says. But actually I”d still rather be on the beach, playing volleyball and swimming. And then playing volleyball again. And then swimming. Not to sound longwinded (or self-important), but does anyone see a pattern here?
Ah, Welcome back you self-important longwinded dork. The blogosphere had a shortage of interesting stuff while you were gone.
Indulge us, sir.

I think we sufficiently ran off Arnold. He left so fast he didn”t have time to say "hasta baby." LOL……Welcome back. Happy New Year!
