writing without conjunctions is hard

william faulkner worked 6p to 6a as a 'coal passer' in a power plant where he wrote As I Lay Dying in six weeks and four out of the last five presidents were left-handed and dali says you should not fear perfection for you will never attain it;

i came across, and reluctantly browsed, a yahoo! news article about the 2008 presidential candidates and the meaning of their signatures. apparently, all three are strong in ego and ambition (good to know). a couple may or may not have pride in their respective families/culture (sad), and they are all real smart. this is scientific evidence. maybe. i must use this analysis. it could mean something. it has to. maybe this was the tie-breaker i was searching for, if i am allowed to vote. i would suggest to all to do this...but, since there is an audience willing to receive such information when choosing the best possible individual to lead this country into even more strife, despair (yes, i said despair - look around, you will find it) that currently plagues this era, my suggestion is not necessary.

i still think the one that can win a triple threat steel cage lumberjack wrestling match with no disqualifications (no dq) is the best way to choose a 'leader'. any leader really. there would be no need to vote, no campaigning with all that dirty mud flying around (i should add a reminder that voting does not matter, does not count because, if it did, al gore would have saved the world as president rather than win oscars for a documentary about our dying planet - he did win one, right? - also, note that in no way whatsoever will i endorse al gore for president). moving on. by the way, he sure looked righteous with the beard.

a legend, if you would like, for the match and stipulations i have stated above:
- triple threat means three opponents (but you deduced that already, i am sure), no teams, the winner is the one who gets the pin (does not matter who pins who - or is it whom? i should sleep soon)
- steel cage is just that, ten foot-plus walls surrounding the ring; traditionally, one could win this match by a pin or by climbing over the top of the cage, spiderman-ing it down the other side allowing the feet-touching-the-ground victory; sadly, for the participants, this will not be allowed
- lumberjack is tricky here as this is where outside the ring on the floor a very large number of men and/or women accumulate and wait to throw the contestant back in to the ring if said contestant tries to make a run for it. the trick in this situation is, you may be asking, 'are they not already in a cage from which they cannot escape?' the answer is 'yes, lab partner, they are in a cage, but...there is a door (to the cage) and it is not locked.' the lumberjacks attendance assures such a cowardly exit to the contest in such a political (pun) way will not occur; a large number of lumberjacks installed in this fashion is merely for effect, show, excitement; let me be entertained for this is why i came

-no dq means just that, no rules; this is a gift to the contestants and weapons are cool

this proposition is ridiculous and riddled with trailer-park-natty-ice humor and certainly i am not the first to birth such an inspiration. but the metaphor is solid. to me anyway. the cage represents no easy win, no cut-and-run while encouraging shock-and-awe, heart, commitment. they would be/should be fighting for you, no? the lumberjacks exist as, in reality, accountability does not. and no dq is there simply as an olive branch to the candidates. who does not like to 'break the rules'? politics.


whew. test. number one is done. i think.
an all my love and a goodnight.
