Back in my Navy days, we had a skipper for a short while who never seemed to be happy. His first words to the crew, after assuming command, was that she was the filthiest ship he had ever seen. No, she was not.
If he felt the same way about his officers, he at least kept it in private, and Ms. Graf positively makes him look like a benevolent Santa Claus in comparison.I cannot imagine how Graf got that high up on the ladder.

Of course, #1 was intended to respond to the previous Cap Bligh post.
Maybe I should wander off and check my own ladder.

Re the quiz, maybe this is the big problem, liberals should be liberterian, that is I think where liberal came from, nowdays liberals adhere to libertine tenets, we should explain the implications to the voters, not in the USA, Obama has done that already, in fact it is the only action he has not royaly screwed up.
I would reprint the result graph and make another with socialist where they have liberal and liberal included with libertine, maybe seperated with a"/" then show them to a lib voter and ask for his preference, could be informative.Posted by Chris Edwards

Good idea for a weekly posting Drew.Save the really wow ones for unique posts and toss the rest in a post like this.
Easy on the Libertarians. The only serious differences between a Libertarian and a conservative Republican involve the bedroom and legalizing recreational drugs.
Respect for the individual, limited government, freedom to worship, having the means of self defense, the opportunity to succeed or fail on your own, even patriotism and more are completely in agreement with conservative principles.
That’s a lot of similarities and relatively few differences.
