For my five-thousand-and-first post...

[Enraged_Ape]

I just want to tell you all how much I appreciate each and every one of you. You all have been an island of some sort of sanity for me over the last four-plus years of absolute bat$h1t craziness in the world.

My testament of love even goes out to all of you Sniffa Cultists and all the people who smack me down and ignore my posts on a regular basis; you all don't know how special you are. You are all highly intelligent and have made me a more informed, more articulate, more involved, and overall better Democrat over the years.

And Skinner and the mods, what I've just said goes triple for you. Thank you so much.

And no, I haven't been drinking, so stop saying that.

Now on to post 5002...
