Reply #36: Yes and no. [View All]

Yes, I knew you were joking about "abstruse"; and no, I'd never been to buzzflash before. I'd heard of it, but never actually gone there. Although, in retrospect, I probably should have; I'm a Republican, surrounded by mostly Republicans (I think the networks called my state for Bush about 10 in the morning. On August 8th. Of 2002). Quite a few of my friends have brought buzzflash topics to lunch or to the water cooler, sometimes to ridicule, sometimes puzzle over, and sometimes as a plausible alternative to the Faux News version of reality. But I'd never actually gone there until today.

Thanks for prompting that.
