Hey, ahm flattered! It was perty catchy, tho, eh?
Do me a flavor: Please give the attribution to my regular handle, which is
Proctologically Violated®©, on alt.machines.cnc, where I am a semi-regular.
Since I've been darting about elsewhere on usenet, I figgered I'd tame it up
a little -- some people just can't quite muster up the wherewithall to
respond to someone who calls themself Mr. PV'd.
When asked if I'm gay, I respond, Dude..... it says "Violated", not
"Ecstatic".
Stylistically, I would capitalize Junta, Dictatorship, and Media.

Why? None of those are proper nouns. That's what I call "AOL-speak".
(I was a copy editor in another lifetime.)

Well, as you will.
fyi, I will be running for office under the Indpendent Party of the
Proctologically Violated (M)asses, so I could use a, uh, plug in yer sig.
As for experience, I am a founding member of ICNAL, the International
Consortium for the Neutering of All Lawyers, and President of the American
chapter, ANAL, Americans for the Neutering of All Lawyers.
I hope I have your support.

Sorry, no can do. Unlike most of the great ignorant Unwashed
Masses(R)(TM), I don't reflexively hate lawyers.
To paraphrase what they useta say when I was a younger pup: In legal
trouble? Call a hippie.
