Like having a freight train run over my face and, being unconscious and immobilized, I couldn't block any of it. I'm sure I took, at least, thirty straight shots to the face - because of the way the shelf twisted, not one of them hit my body - it was just one shot, and then a series of them in twos, threes, fives, all dead-weight heavy and straight-on, right in the face. But, remarkably, there's no swelling or anything, just a blood-clotted cut and bruises.<br /><br />We are truly resilient.The Crack Emceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366101526773588864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-82428288496006367292011-02-08T20:56:25.311-06:002011-02-08T20:56:25.311-06:00Libtard_Ritmo: The guy with the least to say about...Libtard_Ritmo: <i>The guy with the least to say about the most things is your anchor.</i><br /><br />Gee, imagine that.

Every week he'd analyze the Sunday morning "pundits" on the news shows. I was impressed by the way he'd cut right thru the bs. and focus on the way the two sides were trying to frame the debate. What questions were and (sometimes more importantly) weren't being asked. And which answers weren't really answers at all.<br /><br />I still have him as my opening page in my browser. But I do miss his analyses. Now it is mainly just links. I wish he'd write more of his own. But then again, he is paid when he writes a column, but the blog is for free. So I guess I can't complain.tamsfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05709024548909142889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-4371910500059285392011-02-08T20:34:43.882-06:002011-02-08T20:34:43.882-06:00Crack, even after a concussion and the resultant b...Crack, even after a concussion and the resultant brain damage you are still more literate than Will.i.am.
