#1 if it is causing you too much pain, try something else

Considering that Obama's opponent is a guy who really knows something about "too much pain", that comment by Danzig is singularly tactless.

#7 Actually it's Winnie ther Pooh. Isn't it funny how a Pol likes Money? Buzz buzz buzz, I wonder why he does.

#8 "Oh, bother!" thought Pooh, as he chambered another round.

#9 And he was named after a swan, so that if you called him and he didn't come, you could always say, "Pooh!" as if you'd never meant to at all.

/Or something like that. The books are in the upstairs hall bookcases, and I'm downstairs in the office with the grown-up volumes. As for trying something else when it causes too much pain, that's not what Rabbit did when Pooh was stuck in his front door after eating all his honey. Poor Pooh was stuck there for weeks until he'd slimmed down enough that all of Rabbits friends and relations were able to pull him out from the front while Rabbit pushed from behind. Rantburg's own dear Shipman would never have made such an egregious error of misunderstanding. ;-)
