So, I called you a troll. And you did NOT think this was funny. In fact, it hurt your feelings. I quickly backpedalled, because I did not REALLY mean "troll". You took that comment out of context. If you look more closely at the context, you will see that I meant "dirty old man". Somehow, that is better. And now you are calling me "Geraldine".
The problem though, is that if you consider the matter closely, Geraldine's comments were pretty much right (my opinion, maybe not yours, your milage may vary). She meant something like (I think): "He's a great package and if you add the blackness, it's a winning combination for the times. Without the blackness, he's just another articulate politician but probably not somebody who would have a good chance at a presidential nomination at this time." She did NOT say: "Barack Obama's success is entirely and solely because he's black." I mean, that would be like saying: "This is good soup. It's the salt. The salt is why this is good soup." Oh yeah? Then save my time and drink sea water.
Or like telling me: "So...you like margaritas eh? Well, it's only the tequila."
Maybe not the best example.
Anyway, sorry. You're not a troll. You're just a dirty old man. Feel better now?

Well Hallelujah! I've been downgraded...or wait, upgraded? Oh shucks...can't I just be considered somewhat of a cruiser?? The subjects of the cruise just happen to be guys who are 1/2 my age!
OH WAIT!! I get it...I need to apologize for calling you Geraldine...hmmmm...seems to me that it was Taylor who invoked that name right after you attempted the backpedal! In any event, I apologize for calling you Geraldine. But do rest assured that, geez, after all these years you could hardly every say ANYTHING that would hurt my feelings -- I like you way too much for that to happen!
Oh, you don't have to apologize, although I never thought I'd end up with a nick name with so many syllables. I bet it won't stick (and there's the glue that just GUARANTEED it...DOH). Actually, i think the point was a long rambling apology that really boiled down to: i might have actually really meant what i said after all. ha ha
or did it? i must be lost. allow me to pre-emptively apologize for my apology, in the event that it could NOT be taken in context due to the fact that it a) has no context and b) is incomprehensible. But it ends with a reference to tequila, so it can't be all bad!
well what the hey...let's just break out the tequila and get those margaritas served up icy cold!
