snowbound over a cold winter with obama and madonna on beans, flour and lard .... the g.o.p. presidential primaries ....

"a bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company."  gian vincenzo gravina.

thin gruel as a person, but long on self esteem.

it is said that one can fail on a steady and plentiful diet of caribou.  no fat.  no substance.

all true enough, gravina.

ambrose bierce put it more deliciously, though, when he remarked, "bore, noun: a person who talks when you wish him to listen."  he put it in a slightly more acute fashion, when he said, "egotist, a person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me."

contemplate, if you will, an eternity on the howard stern show.  thus has become the obama administration.  obama, clinton, holder, ... , bores.
