In a scientific study, pigeons were taught to recognize the difference
between early period Picasso art and Monet.

Strangely enough, few here would be able to do the same thing. Yet they seem
to believe that they know everything there is to know about drugs in the
peloton.

Once Tom realizes that he has a problem, maybe then he'll see that he
focuses on feelings rather than facts. Tom's blanket statements about art,
pigeons, drugs, and what everybody knows or doesn't know represents an
inseparable mixture of inferiority complex and madness, but always in such a
way that we only recognize the madness and never his inferiority complex.
It Tom's way of attempting to exhibit an air of superiority. You realize,
of course, that it is just a defense mechanism to cover up his obvious
inferiority complex. Almost every day, Tom outreaches himself in setting
new records for foolishness and provocation. It's clearly breathtaking to
watch - it's like driving up on a car crash or crime scene.

How is that different from an eponymous jackass with intellectual pretentions?

Rearrange this so that you end up with an intellectual jackass, and
we'll have a winner.

Speaking of rearranging, an anagram of the "Share the Road" bicycling
bumper sticker is "Shear Her Toad."

If the latest distraction while sitting in bumper to bumper
traffic is working out bumper sticker anagrams then you should have
a bumper season coming up in 2008. I wonder if Hillary has decided
what her bumper sticker is going to be now she's decided on a song.

HC? Channel surfing I found her talking. She is not
looking good. All the professional make up work in TV
is not helping. I listened for about a minute. She said

* We could not do anything in a republican controlled
congress.

* Now that we control congress we can get our ducks in
a row.
(nothing said about actually _doing_ anything)

* When/if we get the presidency we might be able to do
something.

A bad joke. Democrats are cruising for a bruising. All
they are good at is whoring after votes.

Didn't a French gym teacher write a book about this.

Adri Van Der Poel said he knows one when he eats one.

You didn't mention the flying into walls and windows when Manet was
brought into the picture.
