I have to have four cups of coffee per day. If not I get a terrible caffene head ache. Yet if I have the coffee too late in the day I end up awake late into the night. Like now.

Is it a bad thing that so many didn't understand it, after all some tea party supporters can be just as freaky as the candidates they are selecting.

He hast spoken. We are poor illiterate people(by plain ignorance)

Do speak more! (British politics is indeed bewildering because I can't relate them to tea and coffee )

Indeed, as its American politics by someone who isn't British

While it has some basis on pieces from the Irish and British press its mainly based on US coverage of the selection process for the upcoming US elections, so perhaps it is not illiteracy but simply just plain ignorance as you yourself suggest

I'm working on my telekinetic jiu-jitsu pretty much every day now, so if you find yourself "accidentally" losing your balance and falling on your face any time in the future just assume it's me.

Sounds to me like someone needs to have a nice cuppa and a lie down.

It's not that we have anything against kicking people in the head, mind you. We just prefer to put our opponents on the ground first, or at the very least give 'em a good shot in the 'nads to double 'em over. Kicks to the head can then be performed almost at one's leisure.

Robert Heinlein's three rules of martial arts:

1. Hit first.
2. Hit hard.
3. Hit dirty.

Yes, we followed the same principle/phylosophy in Aikido
