OK... so what's with this "moran" stuff? The correct spelling...
of the word that indicates a person with a mental deficiency is "moron".

My grandma's name was "Moran" and she was ANYTHING but deficient. Next DUer to dis my granny goes on my list.

Seriously, what's this "moran" thing about?

22. Not as far as I know.
All I know is that it was at a pro-Bush, pro-War rally somewhere in a red state.

27. Sadly, I do. Was there 2 yrs. ago. for a wedding.
A relative married a minor republican politician whose name I won't mention so I don't get banned from DU.

BTW, what happened to St. Lou's downtown area? There's " no there there". One can literally walk in the middle of the street at rush hour.

A ghost town.

23. We should find out who this guy is and bill him for PR work
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 09:17 AM by Buns_of_Fire
Heck, we've made him famous all over the world! He could even run for office!

(On edit: By "this guy" I mean the shlub in the picture, of course. Your question gets asked around here every few weeks or so. Now that you know the Secret of the Moran (tm), someone will be around shortly to show you the secret handshake! ;-) )
