Dear fot community,

   Yes it is me, James from southeast Pa, aka Pokemonfan, aka The Thrilla in Philla, aka lean mean Vegan, aka Cat guy, aka Dr Oz's Chore Boy, and yes those are all real screen names I am currently using on differint message boards.
    I come before you asking for forgiveness for the troll/creep/ idiot I acted like roughly a year ago on this forum. The way I acted was embarrassing and immature, and it's kept me from being a positive contributor to The Best Show and the fot community.
    In all honesty, I did think that Ron Paul was the best REPUBLICAN in the race, but after a year of growing and maturing I see that the beliefs I imbued on this forum were very misguided. I don't want to say that I've gained some all knowing knowledge now that I'm eighteen, but a lot has happend to me in the last 12 months.
    Yesterday, when I went back and read the things I wrote, I was horribly embarrassed and could not let THAT be how I'm known.
     So, I come here and ask for forgiveness, and politely ask if I  can please come back to the fot community without shame. I would love nothing more than to occasionally post witty remarks about the things I love: Pokemon, Rachael Ray, Cats, Vegan/Animal Rights, and occasionally The Best Show!  WWTD? - What Would Tom Do?

 Thank You, Sincerly James from SouthEast Pa/ Pokemonfan

You are welcomed back with open arms, sir.

This is pretty sweet:

Hilarious. I'd read earlier that the DNC had created a site mocking Romney's tax plan, but figured it would be something a lot more dull.

[Kormod]

I thought it was hardly an Obama victory (as it seems the dumb media are making it out to be), but at least he held his ground and didn't manage to start any Internet memes (like Romney did with "binders full of women").

I'm 99% Green.

[Kormod]

I'm 87% Green. You win, Fredericks.

I don't completely trust quizzes like that because I know I manipulate the answers to come up with the result I want.

That said, I'm 93% Green and wouldn't vote for the Green candidate if you offered me free beer for life.

[cavorting with nudists]

How much difference can there really be between the Greens and the Democrats if the same guy (me) is 93% Green and 90% Democrat?

Update: Oops, I misread my results. I'm 93% for Stein and 90% for Obama, but am 94% Green and 99% Democrat.

Seems like the reverse, the media is trying to play it like a slight victory or draw, but Obama rolled him...not even close.
