The real Sinbad is a guy that fights hydras and marries princesses and rubs lamps and has big Green friends. Or is it big Blue friends...I forget. Not only THAT but he's actually OLDER than McCain. Not many are.

The real fake Sinbad isn't any better than the real fake fake Sinbad.

So there.

Through his incisive commentary Fake Sinbad has shown me my true self and the real nature of the universe, and is thus responsible for more authenticity than Real Sinbad. So I say, who is the Fake?

Fools! There is no real Sinbad. A real Sinbad would have been so named by his real mother - one name, no family name. No, there is no real Sinbad. Let Fake Sinbad rule!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha .....

Sinbad is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Sinbad is alpha and omega, yin and yang, the light and the darkness. Sinbad is the air you breath and the lungs that you breath it with. Sinbad is a living koan. Sinbad is wei-wu-wei, the dancer and the dance when the two can no longer be separated. Sinbad sees you when you're sleeping and knows when you're awake. Sinbad would very much to like to know whether we are eating here or at the next place. Above all, Sinbad knows that here and the next place are one and the same.

Sinbad has eaten his rice and is now washing his bowl.

It's like when we found out our little league coach had been wearing a wig, had not really played for the Brewers, and in fact, during the final game, was carted off the field by the cops for being an escaped convict. Did that diminish the worth of our second place Bremen district pre-pony league trophies? Somewhat. But did we visit him in prison? We meant to. And to this day, would we give him cab fare if we ran into him on the street? I have 10 dollars, sorry, that's all I have, and I've really got to get going-- but it was great seeing you!

I am really getting concerned about the devisiveness here. Don't Sinbad and fake Sinbad realize negatives will go up? Don't the Sinbad's realize that they are leaving the mic open for Dennis Miller?

Please - Why can't the Sinbad's come together? Let's save the funny for the big battle for the Caliphate in November?

Did anyone else notice that Sinbad anagrams to . . . Sinbad?

And that Fake Sinbad anagrams to Fake Sinbad???

Coincidence???

Sinbad isn't real!?!

CSCS -

A true and non-fairweather Fake Sinbad friend you are - an inspiration to us all.

Left to ponder Fake Sinbad's question re Real Sinbad's news sources & TPM-frequenting - on the one hand, I say that all of his Bosnia-Clinton-debunking and Obama support would indicate an engaged citizen. The other hand would show lawyers and advisers who troll the public domain for misuse of their client's likeness and name. Although, one must give Real Sinbad credit for simply informing Josh Marshall that he's not Fake Sinbad - rather than a 'cease & desist from use' letter.

Fake Sinbad - as an attorney, I'd advise you to retain Bob Bennett, erstwhile attorney to the tony political-celebrity set - so that he might negotiate a civil solution. Perhaps we can start a legal defense fund.

Whatever else we do we must heal this rift to avoid a brokered Sinbad convention.
