    Batboy has been away on a deep cover operation with Batboy's Resistance Cell, so Batboy has not had the opportunity to comment on recent events. Batboy apologizes.

    That being said, Batboy has been following the news of the day with great interest. Batboy has noted the great uncertainty surrounding the upcoming Presidential election, the economy, the Writers' Guild Strike, and yes, even the most critical issue facing the world today, the status of Tom Brady's foot. Batboy has noticed that everyone is quite nervous and unsettled because of the lack of guidance and reliable facts. Pundits, prognosticators, armchair quarterbacks, and know-it-alls of all types (and even know-nothings like Flashy) have an opinion on all of these matters, yet nobody seems to have the answers people are looking for. Well, Batboy is here to tell everyone that that is simply wrong.

    Midgets have, and are, the answers.

    Yes. Midgets.

    Midgets have historically been underestimated. This has always been a mistake. And in these uncertain times, underestimating the little folk could be fatal.

    Think about it. By way of example, turn on any political news coverage and behold all of the hemming and hawing over where the black vote, or the female vote, or the youth vote, or the senior vote, or (in Chicago) the undead vote will fall. Can anyone remember ever hearing a discussion of where the midget vote will go? No. Why not?

    Batboy will explain. Nobody ever talks about the midget vote because midgets are the single most underestimated sector of the population. Is that because midgets are the inconsequential, mischievous and fun loving people midgets have historically been portrayed as? Nope.

    Midgets are underestimated because midgets choose to be. Midgets are the one sector of the population that has largely escaped the clutches of the Evil Conspiracy. Midgets have flown under the radar. Thus, while all other sectors of society have spent millennia struggling for power and influence, midgets have following along silently behind the battles collecting the scraps. Over time, the midgets have patiently accumulated wealth, power and influence beyond imagining. Midgets go to great lengths to hide the role midgets play in shaping society so that midgets can continue to operate unhindered.

    So, the bottom line is that if one wants to know how things are going to shake out with any particular issue, one need only find and befriend a midget. Midgets will not, however, share midget secrets lightly. Batboy recommends getting the midget drunk on triple sec and Bailey's, then offering mint chocolate chip cookies in exchange for information. A person with a trusted midget informant can and will succeed no matter what curves the Evil Conspiracy throws at this world.

    Batboy must caution, however, not to offend a midget by sharing midget information once obtained. An angry midget is a dangerous midget. For example, Fred Thompson was to be President. Then Fred Thompson told a trusted aid the planned final score of BCS National Championship Game, as related by his midget handler. The results speak for the results selves.

    Batboy trusts this advice will be of use to some Wordforgers. Remember, midgets are the key.

    It's an open secret that midgets are a powerful group. There's midget porn. I mean, a lot of people think the Jews are running everything from behind the scenes, but do you see much Jewish porn out there? No, sir.

    I've seen Amish porn, that doesn't make the Amish a powerful voting agency.

    It tends to focus on the "Amish going out into the world to experience 'new things'" angle. And all I've seen involves either a guy solo or two guys.

    You probably wouldn't like it.

    True, but now I'm wondering how it got made in the first place. Don't the Amish have issues with things as hi-tech as camcorders (or even digital still cameras)? And as for getting it onto the internet...

    :unsure:

    It depends on what their local bishop will allow.

    edit: to Matt

    Not in the 2 year period they are allowed to go out into the world and enjoy technology. After about two years they have a decision to make go back to the "traditional" ways and leave technology behind, or be ex-communicated from the amish community.

    Oh, I can see that one playing well:

    "Pastor, we need your permission to use digital camcorders and a computer with a broadband internet connection"

    "Certainly, my children. Might I enquire as to the reasons?"

    "We want to film Bob assfucking a guy in a gimp mask and post it on Amateur Porn Pics TGP"

    It's not marketed as Jewish porn, though, is it? Any more than it's marketed as Fat Hairy Guy porn.

    To be fair, this isn't just a midget thing. I'd sell you my mother after being plied with goodies like that*.















    * Disclaimer. I wouldn't really sell my mother. I just figure that, if the Evil Conspiracy is reading this, I might get some free booze and snacks if they try getting vital information out of me.

    It's quite arbitrary, really, among the amish and mennonites.

    For example, I know some Amish that can drive cars, but they must pull the radios out. I know Amish in a community near to them (Belvidere, TN) who can't own cars, but they can drive tractors with radios.

    Typically southern Amish/Mennonites can't have color in their dress, while northern Amish/Mennonites can.

    Midgets are the penultimate evil. Bunnies, of course, are number one on the list.

    There'd be some definite appeal to this Amish/Mennonite thing, if not for the religious angle.

    On further thought to this thread: If midgets are so powerful, why is pittsburg so bad in football? ;)
