With regard to Albert....

[Jack Lawman]

This whole affair strikes me as a sort of Stockholm Syndrome/bad dog lover kind of thing. Some people develop a soft spot for other people who behave badly and crap on others. It can be entertaining and downright amusing.

Unless you're the one getting crapped on... then not so much!

I had no idea about the whole Russia v Bulgaria controversy until this latest go around. I'll admit, the mudfest was a nice departure from the usual starch collar suspects around here (for me, anyway). I had fun learning.

All that said, I stand firmly in Ed's corner... Albert was warned. Who do you blame, the rattle snake for biting or the dope who tried to pet it? It gets filed under, "What the h- did you think was gonna happen?"

I kept asking myself why I kept checking out this "discussion" and concluded it was the same morbid curiosity that causes people to run to see train wrecks.
