Having followed Scipio's site almost religiously for a couple of years now, I'm fairly certian that he and I would fall on different ends of the political spectrum. But I deeply appreciate the fact that he has the class not to harangue people who have different political views like some other comics bloggers tend to do. IMO, Soneca's gratuitous name-calling is uncalled for, especially on this website. I think he may be the one who is estúpido.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-21289005057267679572008-12-12T14:31:00.000-05:002008-12-12T14:31:00.000-05:00I don't know, Scipio.

Maybe that's why he suddenly started talking about action figures and trying to sound like a shyster.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and Soneca? Just because a person voted for George Bush Jr. doesn't mean that "they are completely ok with the previous 8 years of Bush in the white house" and having voted for McCain doesn't by any means imply that either. I didn't vote for McCain but, frankly, to call somebody stupid because they voted for who they chose and not who YOU would choose is rude and ignorant.
