		<description>Be honest SGEW, you read those lyrics, thought of me, and got a tingle.

You would have snuggled back.</description>

The definition of what you describe as &quot;snuggling&quot; is nonconsensual sexual molestation.

Your lyrics are describing a criminal act.</description>

		<description>This is not true SGEW:

Here is the next verse:

There she is, wide awake and looking angry…
Shaking her fist, and storming around floor…
Well she woke up, when I made advances…
That woman, she won’t see me no more…

Da da da da da

A rude awakening for sure.

It is a song about snuggling.</description>

		<description>Why is Alan Grayson, a bland, uncharismatic plain speaker, the hottest congressman on Capitol Hill? &lt;a href=&quot;http://welcomebacktopottersville.blogspot.com/2009/10/knuckle-dragging-neanderthals.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Because, unlike everyone else, he&#039;s interested in doing his job&lt;/a&gt; and won&#039;t back down after telling the truth.

In other words, he&#039;s a hero just for doing his job.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1387592&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;bedtimeforbonzo&lt;/a&gt;: When I was in junior high school, I wrote an editorial for the school paper about the commercialization of Christmas, and I haven&#039;t changed my mind about holidays since.  As for V-Day, it&#039;s so artificial and contrived.  I would rather give something to someone on the spur of the moment just because I was thinking of that person than have to make a big hoo-ha about it on one specified day of the week.  So, now, I use V-Day as a day to tell all my friends and family how much they mean to me.  It&#039;s my own little tradition.

@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1387594&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;R-Jud&lt;/a&gt;: All nostrils are funny-looking.  We just don&#039;t get to see them up close and personal that often, fortunately.</description>
