http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boromir

Boromir is a supporting character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He appears in the first two volumes of The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers), and is mentioned in the last volume, The Return of the King.

He was the brother of Faramir and the eldest son of Denethor II, the last ruling Steward of Gondor.

Boromir was honourable and noble; he believed passionately in the greatness of his kingdom and would have defended its people to the very last. Boromir's great stamina and physical strength, together with a forceful and commanding personality, made him a widely-admired commander in Gondor's army: he was made Captain of the White Tower, and quickly became Captain-General, also bearing the title High Warden of the White Tower. He was also heir apparent to the Stewardship. Boromir led many successful forays against Sauron's forces, prior to his journey north to Rivendell, which esteemed him greatly in his father Denethor's eyes. His greatest flaw — pride — would prove, however, to be his undoing.

I dont live in my mom's basement either

What with your busy schedule of kicking sand in the face of nerds!!

regularly wins polls of general readers as the greatest novel of the 20th Century. It's theme - the rejection of power - makes it profoundly relevant to our time. If you ever get past your sexual compulsiveness and childish need to slime the literate, you might want to check it out.

I plan to move out of my Mom's basement someday!!!

a lot of time at DU.

at the same time :shrug:

Jerk.

Fortunately, his better nature redeemed him at the last. We may hope Obama will do likewise and give his full support to Hillary when she is nominated.

event that happens, I'm sure he will. In the more likely event, will Sen Clinton do the same, and give her full support to Sen Obama?

end of story.

Best to ignore it, or they go and get the black trench coats.

:-)

This is coming from a guy with a Tux avatar?

Doncha mean: "we"?

;)

Anti-technological pining for lost "organic society" (LOTR)? Not so good.

:-)

If I take all the daemons out of it, would you still run linux? :D

In a pantsuit.

in the Holy Grail.

:P

"Her candidacy is dead!"

"No, it's not. It's just sleeping."

(Seems to be a common affliction among DUers.)

Alms for an ex-leper?

Please stop. Please. There's a million movie and book characters we can compare our candidates to, but let's just stop. It can't go anywhere good.

We're gonna need a bigger convention.

McCain is, of course, Michael.

McCain is "Ben", Michelle is "Juliette" and Big dog is "Sawyer"

:)

It belongs to HER, it does!

Hillary is Saruman.

the resemblance is downright spooky!

And not one of the good ones... ;)

I used to have it when I was a Junior High School student...whatever happened to that copy? I had one from the first printing:



Oh, and Hillary Clinton reminds me of Shelob...

that's all i remember from that book, but it is enough. it still makes me snicker.

well, never mind. :hide:

:rofl:

Funny.

Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon's character in "Election")and Rhoda from The Bad Seed.


(Mrs. Phx_Dem)

I have decided to nerd out. Deal with it.


I think Gore would be Tom Bombadil.
Pretty sure Lieberman qualifies for Grima wormtongue.
Rudy Guiliani would be Shelob
I personally would put Edwards to Boromir, and Dodd as Faromir.
Dean is our Gandalf.

I think the happenings so far would justify McCain as the witch king of Angmar. And Hillary as Saruman.
Personaly I fit Obama as Elrond, but thats mainly because he dosn't draw out so easily as any of them for me.

And we are all the Hobbits.

Had a lot of marriages, I believe, so he's hot, but has commitment issues.

:rofl:

We'll see how long that lasts. :D

And damn, I wish it was me. :P

I'll be #5 if you can be #6, although in the eyes of the law (except in Vermont, Mass and Hawaii) I'll never be #5!

... this has got to be about the dumbest analogy anyone's ever come up with.

Ever. I don't get it. Neither does the OP. :-)

There is Evil there that does not sleep ...and the great "W" is ever watchful.
'Tis a moral wasteland, riddled with fired clinton staffers... the very air you breathe
is a poisonous fume. Not with 10,000 superdelegates could you do this... it is folly.

"Have you heard Nothing Lord Okasha just said? the Republicans MUST be destroyed!"

And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?



Carry On Wayward Boromir!!!! (youtube link)

Carry on my wayward Clinton!
There'll be peace when you are done!
Lay your weary campaign to rest!
Don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion!
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion!
I was polling ever higher!
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see that Bill was a blind man!
Though my mind could feel that Wright was a mad man!
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming!
I can hear them say:

Carry on my wayward Clinton!
There'll be peace when you have won!
Lay your weary head to rest!
Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a woman with a reason!
My charade is the event of the season!
And if McCain could be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion!
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean!
I set a course for winds of fortune!
But I hear the voices say:

Carry on my wayward Clinton!
There'll be peace when you have won!
Lay your weary head to rest!
Don't you cry no more

No!

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor!
The center lights around your vanity!
But surely the white house waits for you

Carry on my wayward Clinton!
There'll be peace when you are done!
Lay your weary head to rest!
Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)

No More!
