The above post,if anything,proves the following three facts:

1) Jack Schmidling knows how to capitalize.

2) Jack has the ability to confuse Magic Johnson's _past_ irresponsibility with
his dislike of Poppy Bush's _current_ perceived irresponsibility,as if the two
were somehow interconnected.

3) When Jack has a bug up his ass,he's inclined to share the fact with us
until the net gets bored,he starts a fight,or passes out from sheer emotional
overinvolvement with said bug.

It seems,for once,that I decided to attribute a post to Jack Schmidling solely
on the basis of a suspicious-looking "JACK" address and its proximity to
several of Schmidling's posts. I apologize for the error,as the post was one of
Jim Best's. Other than that,my opinion(if not the context of some of the
comments I made)of the post remains the same.

OK, you've already replied to this.

>2) Jack has the ability to confuse Magic Johnson's _past_ irresponsibility with
>his dislike of Poppy Bush's _current_ perceived irresponsibility,as if the two
>were somehow interconnected.

What about Magic's present irresponsibility and what would he know about
Bush's current perceived irresponsibility?
Of the six meetings of the AIDS commission Magic only attended one.
He didn't even stay for all of that one!
(reference a newspaper article earlier this week)

OK,you may have a point about his not showing up,but the point of Jim Best's
quote (unless he _was_ commenting about Magic's no-shows,in which case he'd
have a point) was to insinuate that Magic couldn't criticize Bush's perceived
irresponsibility vis-a-vis AIDS policy because _he_ had messed around to the
point of contracting HIV himself. In other words,if Best was making a criti-
cism based on Magic's past sexual irresponsibility,that sort of criticism
seems a bit dense as Magic will have to pay for that behavior for the rest of
his life. If he was criticizing the no-shows,fine.

Damn. I should've known I'd have to read that other post that Best wrote to
find out the context of the shorter one.... >:(
