- That was the explanation given at the time and Bery is wrong - zork Feb 27, 13:37 3

  - educated = elite? -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:14 7
    - There's nothing on the Tea Party in the article - just recycled commentary from 2004. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 13:18 6
      - the criticism is in the place where you need to put money in the jar. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:21 5
        
        This thread... is about one comment in a comment section? In a Yahoo news article? - con_carne Feb 27, 13:38 1

        So this is all just a plot to make us cough up more for the jar? -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 13:22 2
        
        In fairness, loosi's love of jars has been well-known for years. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 27, 13:49 1

      - (you have an extra le in there) -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:22 14
        
        J'ameliore, mais je ne suis pas parfait encore. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 13:23 13
        
        heh. your joual sounded pretty good. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:24 12
        
        See? nm - Jim Feb 27, 13:27 11

        Word. nm - Jim Feb 27, 13:32 6

        it's total redneck. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:40 4
        
        I know how to get those guys to understand the difference - zork Feb 27, 13:41 3
        
        They probably think Montreal strippers are classy. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 13:44 1
        
        next to TFox ... -- nm - zork Feb 27, 13:48
        
        it's what the wrestlers speak. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:44
    - Just because he has the right to speak French doesn't mean we can't think he's douchy when he does! -- nm - Epiphany Feb 27, 13:13 2

        Traditionally, isn't French the language of diplomacy? -- nm - zork Feb 27, 13:23 5
        
        Up until the end of the 19th century or so. America's rise pretty much ensured English became the predominant diplomatic language. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 13:27 1

        that is why you fail -- nm - charlie Feb 27, 13:17 2
        
        True that Superman is style over substance, but still. -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 13:23 1
