DU newbies from an oldie:

[libodem]

47. I'm an oldie now

And this place is pretty much what brought me to the internet age. I'd mostly forgotten how to type and still have terrible conversational manners. My first post was a stream of consciousness diatribe with no punctuation. It all ran together in a run-on sentence from hell. Plus I've always been a phonetic speller. Which as you may have guessed by now spells TROLL.

I was a lonely little Idaho Dem. A bitter, angry, sarcastic, nasty, cranky, crab, of a disheartened, lonely Dem. So I often posted crabby, cranky, smart-assed, sarcastic remarks, that were in fact the opposite of what I felt or thought but I felt so duped by Dubya, I was hopeless.

Soon after the sarcasm tag was born. Sometime nasty complaints are obvious sarcasm and sometimes it needs a tag.

That's my free advice. Now, get in there and start winning elections.
