GravatarYes, I'm here.


GravatarSo three posts in half an hour now constitutes light posting?


GravatarDamn, first in a long time.

Have I said lately how much I love you people?


GravatarSo.

The light's gonna do all the posting?


Gravatarand let's see how many speak out about Herr Roberts:

Roberts Scoffed at Promotion for O'Connor

WASHINGTON - As a lawyer in the Reagan White House, John Roberts scoffed at the notion of elevating Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to chief justice as a way to close a political gender gap, calling it a "crass political consideration."

On another topic, Roberts, who was nominated as a justice by President Bush last month, advised the White House to strike language from a description of a housing bill that referred to the "fundamental right to be free from discrimination." He said that "there of course is no such right."

GravatarNTodd--have I told you lately that you're handsome?

But Sam is


Gravatar But Ignatius was looking for the Democratic agenda, and it's no wonder he didn't find it under the "people" tab on the DNC site because about an inch to its left he would have found the agena tab.

GravatarAlright! Who the hell turned on the humidity?!

I would like to throw myself into about 5 feet of snow right now.


GravatarThe Republicans have spray painted the house, doused it in gasoline, lit a match, and are now saying democrats are shrill for saying it was fucking stupid. Oh, and the democrats need to solve the burning house issue or they aren't serious, so we should leave the fuckers who torched the place in charge.

This is the thinking that an Ivy League degree gives to the elite media wankers? They should have saved their money and gotten diplomas by mail.


GravatarOh goodie! Can I discriminate against that jackoff Roberts? Oh please oh pretty please. I would love to refuse to serve him food in a restaurant, make him ride at the back of the bus, call him "boy", call his wife a wench, make his kids go to substandard schools. Let the discrimination begin.


GravatarSo, are we waiting for a news dump this evening. And I don't like a 66 page proofreading job given to me at 3:30 p.m. on a Friday afternoon.

I hate to bring the bad news to wingerville, (not) but the days of being on the defence are long gone. Loseman and the rest of the mushy middle need to get message loud and clear.

Why do the Dems have to define their agenda before people take them seriously, when the GOP can't do it ?

GravatarI don't think that Bush actually has that many friends. He wasn't liked in college because he is an arrogant snot and was only tolerated because he was an politician's spoiled brat. Few people in TANG have come out to tell what a great guy he is. He is just Poppy Bush's obnoxious ass son who everybody has to be polite to because of Poppy. If he had been born in a poor or working class family, he would have been in and out of jail several times, been married about three times, been in rehab four times, and would have had his ass seriously kicked so many times that you lose count.


Gravatarbigvic, yep, he's feeling pretty good these days.


jdw, he's slowed down some... but he's still eating a lot, and growing like a weed. I think he's going to turn into a monstrous cat.

This implies that the GOP has a coherent plan to govern the country.

So did the Nazis, that didn't make them right.

Besides, how do you build a coherent plan to govern the country when George Bush fucks it up more and more each day in unfathomable ways ?

"Just Go Along with George Bush" is far from a "coherent" plan in my opinion.

GravatarIgnatius's column brought to mind an interview by Terri Gross with Helen Thomas on Fresh Air (I couldn't find a transcript, but I did find a link for playing the audio of the interview here.)

At one point, Gross asked Thomas what it was like when the White House Press Corps got downright nasty with Scotty at a gaggle after it became clear that Scotty had lied to them.

Thomas said "it was like they suddenly awoke from a coma."

It's clear not all of the journalismists have awakened yet.


GravatarJohn Roberts is really turning into quite the charmer.


GravatarHas there been any news of the con caravan that was going to Crawford to demonstrate against Sheehan? They were supposed to present 35 bedsheets signed by supporters of Bush to the lazy little man. I don't know if they were wearing them.

Gravatarhey were supposed to present 35 bedsheets signed by supporters of Bush to the lazy little man.

It was too hard to write over the cum stains.

sorry, had to say that.


GravatarScrew Yglesias - TBogg nails it:

David Ignatius has an interesting column today that has some good points interspersed with the type of shallow commentary that you might expect from a person who gets all of their information from a combination of USA Today, talk radio, and Leno. He concludes thusly:

"America doesn't need more of the angry, embittered shouting matches that take place on talk radio and in the blogosphere. It needs a real opposition party that will lay out new strategies: How to withdraw from Iraq without creating even more instability? How to engage a world that mistrusts and often hates America? How to rebuild global institutions and contain Islamic extremism? How to put the U.S. economy back into balance? A Democratic Party that could begin to answer these questions would deserve a chance to govern."

In other words, a party that will clean up after the 6-year Republican drunken power binge and Treasury looting party that destroyed everything that the Clinton Administration left us. The windows are broken, the doors are off the hinges, the bank account is emptied, there's vomit everywhere, and someone raped the dog....and the Democrats are supposed to make it all better.

Thanks Dave. We'll bring a big shovel. We're going to need it.


Gravatar...Billy frister has endorsed ID.

I have a new theory. I'm calling it "Not Very Bright Design." As the name suggests, it's a theory in which the universe and Earth were created by a near-moronic but nevertheless "Supreme" being. As evidence of my theory, I point to all those Evolution-denying "Intelligent Design" freaks.

Gravatarbacon wrapped bacon sandwich recipe.

Grill 2 slices of Canadian Bacon. Let cool slightly. Wrap smoked american bacon around the Canadian bacon. Cook American bacon until crisp. Wrap very thinly sliced proscuitto around that. Place on buttered english muffin.

Serve with a glass of water and some lipitor or crestor depending on your mood.


GravatarLet's try this: the new ideas these bozos are so enamoured of boil down to attacks on tried and true programs which have served the American public so well.
They intend to destroy Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, keep the names as hollow shells, and insert wholly different programs that benefit their constituents. Their constituents are the wealthy and large corporations. The American Public will receive incidental and inadequate benefits from these programs.
This suits the Republicans very well. The more stress placed on the family's economy, the more likely that family will be forced to take the (LOW) wages offered them by the the big corporations.
Folks, we are not the radicals: they are.
As for the media: the dumbasses value "NEW" above all else. It's not enough that Social Security will work well with minor adjustments. THEY must have innovation as well. I could just spit.

I am sure Bush talks with all the other Texans about their shared experiences of growing up with 14 Presidents in their family tree, grandpa in the Senate, Dad as the President, and million dollar trust funds, and fun times at Andover Prep and Yale, and going AWOL during Vietnam.

That's what all the good boys in Texas do over beers.



Full Disclosure: My paternal grandfather was part of the Country-Club Baptist power set in Lubbock, Texas (the first black man I ever spoke to was wearing a chef hat and carving up the Sunday roast beef—"May I have well-done, please"). Fortunately for me, my father's money and position were not as lofty, and my brother and I have continued the downward trend.

I mention this because I wonder about a Nature versus Nurture question: Had I been kept in the rarified atmosphere of the Rich, Godly, and Right, would I have ended up a mayor or a state representative suckling at the teat of Tom Delay's Texas Fiefdom?

Or is there something innate in me, perhaps an overly analytical mind, that would have rejected participation in the phony Ayn Rand social darwinism of "wealthy white entitlement" no matter the circumstance?

Was George Bush groomed to be a callous, hypocritical asshole, or was he just born that way? Was it money and privilege that turned what would have been a wife-beater in a trailer park, into the man who continues to pound on the American people for "our own good?"


GravatarAny parents with good teething advice? Yes, not kitty litter worthy, but all the same...

My son is 9 months old, he started teething late. He got 2 last month. This past week, 5, that's right 5 are coming in. Poor little guy is cranky as all get out. We have tried teethers, infant tylenol, but he is very uncomfortable. Thanks

GravatarCan someone recommend a high quality fuck film? I like the doggystyle and bitch slap flicks but I want good camera work, dialogue and production values mixed in.

I do indeed demand good camera work (give me lots of fur and early morning dew), dialogue ("I'm sooo wet") and production values (a Casio-based soundtrack and perfect editing is a MUST). Dogging is good, as are many other classic positions. I'm not at all into bitchslap films, though, which is the dead giveaway that was a namestealer.

But really, I'm all about plot. Is there a radioactive spider involved? A rift in the time-space continuum? A power failure at a hotdog stand?

That and character development.

GravatarOn the HighViz blog

www.highvizpr.blogspot.com

Why do the liberal gays (of AmericaBlog) continue to vilify Jeff Gannon?
.
An open note to John (temporarily) in Paris of AmericaBlog:


Vilify: To degrade or debase by report; to defame; to traduce; to calumniate.

Ask John Avarosis, (www.AmericaBlog.com) , about the pulse of America. He is someone who knows. He is one who I admired a great deal for his opinion, energy, and passion about issues. He is also as self-important and has as big an ego as Jeff Gannon's. And he and his posse continue to go after Gannon. Gannon continues to press on, pro-Bush, pro-Rove, pro-Limbaugh, blind as a bat to the what the liberal contigency cares or does. He is no longer playing the victim card. He has a message and he has moved on with it. And it shows. The Washington Blade has given him a column. These are his words. But to John and the AmericaBlog gang, that doesn't matter. John's message is bitter. ALL of us have "the right to say it". Voltaire said that many moons ago. And meant it. But Gannon is a fraud. And so is Dick Morris. Even that famous lib Geraldo has said we should fight the war until we can do no more, just to get it over and done. He may have detractors, too. But he has the right to say it.

When I post on John's threads now, do you know what comes up if you come to my weblink? You go to a place where you can take an at-home paternity test! Nice joke, John. But at least I did not make the mistake of putting naked pictures of my right-wing dark-beer drinking husband and I making passionate love all over the internet, nor have I snapped a pretty buttocks at the Lourve in Gay Paree. That is your department, and Jeffy's respectively. But I digress. This is about YOU. And that you should finally give up your vendetta. Jeff Gannon is Jeff Gannon. He has successfully become a journo to a degree, and you can criticize all you damn want to, as jouno, as lightweight Jayson Blair, as operative, as flunkie, but he has moved on. As you blog, lift, link and separate, you, we, are ALL plagarists under the skin. Just ask Andrew Sullivan, Atrios, Arianna, Mann Coulter and Jack Abramoff, and yes, Abbee the Clown.

And now, for your jealous le jalouise blog, ce la guerre! -- why, you are as bad as hedda VS louella! Give it up! Let's move on and GET KARL! Yet the feud continues! GRRRR - GRRRR - GRRRRR !!

i used to be afraid of snakes...
then, studying the relationship of the orthography and the meaning of the Chinese radical 'chowng', i got it, just like that.

it's a long story (at my age, there are no other kinds)...chowng appears as a taxonomical appendix in ideographic characters referring to everything from butterflies to marzipan, literally ...

i need to draw it to show you, and i cannot here, but the consequence of my studies (with a colleague named Dr. Wu, from Taiwan) was that i escaped my fear...

"Senator Reid feels fine. There are no complications or any restrictions on his activities."

Gravatar We know what NTodd's going to be doing tonight, especially if Stef's away.

Wanking, yes. Porn, no: we suspended our DirecTV service because

1) I would have to trim the trees.
2) Stef is never home to watch TV, and all I was watching was BSG (which my Dad tivos).
3) I no longer make the obnoxious salary I did before I quasi-quit my job. I wish I could blame Bush, but it's all my fault.

BTW, NTodd, have you cleaned your office yet?

Define 'clean'. I can get to my desk to do podcasts. Just don't touch the piles in the back of the room, lest you become buried in a superlative pile of debris...

Guess that rules out all the one's your mother is in.

I told you: she was young, and needed the money!


GravatarMorgan has the gall to complain her interview at Crawford was canceled! Boo-freakin-hoo, honey.

The right isn't getting their message heard, she claims on national television. After finishing her radio show for the day.

GravatarSo, is this the porn thread?


GravatarSent today.

Dear Mr. Ignatius:

It seems that you still think that an unprovoked attack on another country was justified, which puts you far from the views of essentially all Democrats (except maybe Zell Miller), and 66% of the country according to the most recent polls. Given that, it is hard to take any advice that you may give very seriously; we don't take advice from Bob Novak seriously either. At least with with Novak there is the advantage that it is quite clear where he stands, even if he may have committed or aided the commision of a felony.

Yeah Saddam was a bad guy, but Bush Sr. could have taken him out and was smart enough not to do it because he saw that this would probably benefit Iran, the really dangerous Islamic fundamentalists, and would suck us into a quagmire.

Looks like Bush Sr. knew something; actually back in 1980 I thought about registering GOP so I could support him in the primary. I liked what he said about supply side economics back then. [Note from Ba'al, the last two sentences were for style, they are not really true] Be that as it may, there are lots of other bad guys out there too, it's a damned shame, but maybe it's not our job to take all of them out (or we would be marching into Riyadh any day now).

On another point, if there is "anger and embitterment" it ought to be fairly obvious that on talk radio and in the punditocracy these days about 98% of it is coming from the far right, which comprises virtually the entire GOP these days. Michelle Malkin, Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and many many many others spew pretty appalling venom at a high rate of discharge and we are expected to roll over and take it. No we wouldn't want to be "shrill", oh no. That would be so very impolite, even as the likes Limbaugh muse on air about a time when all Democrats will be removed from the country. I guess his voice is too deep to be considered shrill, maybe because all that oxycontin messed up his hearing.

But that is not what drives me to write. This "Democrats have no ideas" column that you excreted into yesterday's Post was the kind of thing you might expect from a college freshmen who didn't want to really do any work at all, or maybe didn't really know how to do research.

To help you with your research, I paste the following from the web site of the Senate Democrats:

I then cut and paste the site from the Senate Democrats that Atrios mentions.

Some items that should not be used are grease, fat, meat scraps and bones. These materials may attract dogs, rats or other animals. They also may develop an unpleasant odor during decomposition. Fats are slow to break down and greatly increase the time required before the compost can be used.

I'm still convinced the "pretzel incident" was some kind of stroke, and that one day we'll learn how much work went into keeping Bush "presentable" to the public (now that's truly "hard work," and with mixed results.

i know you stoopid mouthbreathers are desperately short on common sense, but think of it in these terms. a woman is bombarded with requests for interviews from media representing print, network, cable, newspaper, radio, magazines. seems reasonable to enlist the services of a company whose specialty is media.

GravatarDiane, whoa, I saw your calico and she looked almost like mine. I hate to admit it but, Ono (bitchy kitty, demonic furball), only likes me. I think it is because I feed her. She is one weird cat. But she is a beauty.

I had a short hair calico many years ago and she was friendly to everyone.


Gravatar"Gimme that old populism, gimme that old populism, gimme that old populism, 'cause it's good enough for me."

Au contraire, Iggy, it's time the party went back to the great ideas that have never gone out of style: jobs, healthcare, civil rights, more equitable distribution of resources and responsibilities, education, an end to "one law for the rich and another for the poor," cracking down on cronyism and corruption, and all that. If one must have it in bumperstickerese: New Deal, Square Deal, the Real Deal.


Gravatarfinds the object of your loathing a likable guy.

Ignatius is out of his fucking mind and off key to boot! Bush is the smarmiest, most arrogant, elitist cocksucker I've ever had to listen to - The John Kerry's of the world are nothing compared to this dumb evil condescending fucktard!

Who finds him likable any more? Ignatius? Aren't his numbers tanking?
I'd rather have a beer with Charles Manson - he didn't kill nearly as many as old likable gwb.

Fuck Bush!

Oh man, back in the Apple ][+ days, there was a raunchy text-based Star Trek "adventure game" that really, uh...taught me a lot in my pre-pubescent years...


GravatarI'm still convinced the "pretzel incident" was some kind of stroke, and that one day we'll learn how much work went into keeping Bush "presentable" to the public (now that's truly "hard work," and with mixed results.

Ok, this is just moonbatty. Why would you accuse Harry Reid of "playing" off of Mother Sheehan's mother's stroke? Unless you can PROVE Senator Reid's stroke was a publicity stunt, keep your trap shut, cosmosis. You're giving us a bad name.

Oh, I don't think so, 1Watt. I'm pretty sure he was just drunk.


Gravatarman, hope he's got good care, treatment meds. etc... sorry to hear that.

Thanks, charley. I think he'll be OK, as he has insurance through his job [unless he's laid off in the current round], his health o'wise is generally good, he has good doctors, and the information scared him away from drug use [at least for now].

He's just 21 years old, so if he makes the adjustments he needs to and if he remains employed with access to reliable health care and medication, he should be OK.


GravatarSpeaking of Fenton communications....


Has anyone heard of an outfit called Salute America's Heroes?

The wingnut wife must be on some Scaife list and she got a letter from this outfit, begging for money to "help the troops injured in battle get job training". It was headed by Tommy Franks.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I always thought the VA ws supposed to take care of things like retraining and heloing the troops in after combat life. Why should the taxpayers be giving money, yet again, to do something the government has already commited to?

Google shows nothing untoward about the CEO of the outfit,but I just can't help but think this is some kind of sham outfit. I could be wrong, but I saw nothing about how they distribute the funds. Too many questions surround this for me to be completely at ease with this kind of thing.


Gravatarellroon, I suspect (and hope)it's just the electricity situation, and that Riverbend and her family are OK.

GravatarDamnit NTodd, what is it with you an killing people? So when you killed her son in Iraq for political ends, did you have your pants on?

I know I have issues, and I'm reallyreallyreally trying to work through them. I'm sorry that innocent people get hurt while I deal with my problems. Truly, I am. And the pants thing was really practical at first, but now is just a sick, twisted joke. Totally my fault--I own that. Seriously.

But in my own defense, I didn't get much parental guidance when I was growing up. Then there were all those violent Atari 2600 video games that warped my fragile little mind. And Clinton. Clinton really fucked me up, what with all that debauchery that my only role model was engaged in. Horrible stuff, and Mom and Dad really didn't know how to explain it to me such that it wouldn't totally fuck up my mental state.

And then, when I met Hesiod, I...felt something. And he took advantage of me. Oh, don't deny it: a blogger at the top of class, back when blogging was a dangerous profession...you'd succumb to his charm as easily as I. I was young, naive...stupid, you might say. And, like Bill Clinton, I craved attention.

One might say I was a blogwhore from the start, before I even had a blog. I knew it was wrong, but it felt so good. Hesiod told me all sorts of lies--I know that now. But at the time, back then...I didn't know any better. I feel so ashamed...

No, but according to Southern Culture on the Skids, if you sit on a plastic seat, you'll "got that plastic seat sweat" wherin "my balls sure are wet."


GravatarDamn. Atrios has had nearly 5000 comments within the last 24 hours.

Pixie - I remember coming home back then and clicking on Atrios' site.

If a post had 25 comments, I would go make a drink and roll a fattie. Also seem to remember people wrote much longer comments.

It was not unusual for all of us to be commenting on 5 sites at the same time - Atrios, Kos, Calpundit, Counterspin, and Billmon.


GravatarWhy was he accused of rape?

because you repugs have no shame?


GravatarHa!
Keith Olbermann just declared Limpballs career over, his credibility spent and the worst person on the planet for the 2nd time this week.


Gravatarthe thing i like about Cindy, she has activated the trolls.

i think that's a good sign.

smells like.............desperation.

i get sick of saying this, but your boy is in charge, 100 per cent. house, senate, and most of the judiciary. if you don't like the poll nos., take it up with him.

and if you really want to support the troops, sign the fuck up, i'm sure they would appreciate the relief.


Gravatar Ahh, yes, the Dukester!
Schadenfreude in the California Sun.

Thank you, bo. What a lovely way to start the weekend.


Gravatardump lye on them at EschaCon

I secretly think that the lucky duckies who are going to physically attend EschaCon will suffer withdrawal from the online snark.

I expect at least a few of 'em might make an appearance here -- if here is still hopping while that group of lucky bastards is partying in Philadelphia.


GravatarWalterNeff, I think you've mentioned a family connexion to some elitist chardonnay New Zealand school?

If I'm not mistaken, that's the school where the elitist, chardonnay sipping 6th formers thought it was (1)too darling to steal the entire GWPDA site and (2)send rude messages to the WWI-L listserv, never realising that they could be traced.....

They were wrong, of course. I quite enjoyed that. Well I, and the Principal and Matron and the College Authorities.... I'm not supposed to know that there is a complete mirrored GWPDA site still sitting on their servers even now.

He was a big time blogger at some point?
Was that really him on earlier threads today?

NT,

Just to be clear, that was directed to the name stealer.


GravatarThoughts with you, Walter Neff. Come back to us as soon as you can, okay? Just to let us know all's well.

Even if you have to dictate a comment to the nurse.


Gravatar1watt, WGG

Thanks for the compost comments.


GravatarColin Powell can go fuck himself. Sideways.

Watching On The Waterfront right now on AMC and it usually makes me think of the Mob and Brando's greatness but today It makes me think of how much Powell is a sellout to his country. All he had to do was to stand up to Bush and say "No Mr. President, I will not go along with this." and the world and our country might have been a lot better off. Damn.


Gravatarmonica_nyc, I have visions of everyone sitting around with laptops, so that they can talk with each other.


GravatarKeith Olbermann just declared Limpballs career over, his credibility spent

Rush's credibility is spent? That's like saying Eddie Cantor's career is on the skids.


Gravatarmena:

Many thanks. I have no worries - I imagine I am hard to kill.

Haven't read the book.


GravatarWell...the instruments are beckoning, and I need to get some tracks down.

Back with y'all later tonight!


Gravatarscout prime -

Did you get bigvic's message about your [blog] appearance on CNN today? Congrats!


GravatarIt makes me think of how much Powell is a sellout to his country

Christ, the guy got his start covering up My Lai. How much can you expect from him all these years later?


Gravatarolbermann comes across as quite the racist


GravatarWalter: typo


GravatarCNN!!!!!

Fuck no...tell me more about me!!!!


Gravatarif here is still hopping while that group of lucky bastards is partying in Philadelphia.

No partying.

There will be Serious Debate and Grave Discussion.

So sayeth Thers.

And he's a perfesser, y'know.


Gravatarno imagination -

I don't have a laptop. May have to visit a few museums while everyone else is blogging. I'll look for some snarky paintings.


GravatarMultiposters are what makes this site so charming John T.

chris/tx, if I'm lucky enough to find to find a thread with only 25 comments I'm one happy camper. I don't remember back that far, I came in during the Trent Lott days and things were cooking pretty well by then.

I do remember the first open thread, though. It sat unused, and after Atrios posted something else I made a comment just so it wouldn't have that 0 showing.


GravatarI have visions of everyone sitting around with laptops, so that they can talk with each other.

Heh. That would be an instant classic.


GravatarChrist, the guy got his start covering up My Lai. How much can you expect from him all these years later?

I'll be "dictating" to the nurse all right. And all night.

And I just got smacked for typing that.

GravatarWm Kristol just called Cindy in Crawford "grotesque"

I have always considered that smirk of his to be grotesque. Do you think the little jerk has ever done an honest days work in his useless life?


Gravatarscout prime:

Congrats on the CNN piece.

Woo hoo!!!!!


GravatarJenny from the ßlog, and you can also check out the Rodin Museum, Rodin did some snarky sculpture


GravatarGuess that was sort of a blue remark.


Gravatarscout prime -

GET OUT!!! Hmm. Well, bigvic broke the news this afternoon. Your pieces on the Cindy Sheehan vigil, I believe, were highlighted on CNN today!

Might be worth your while to scroll through a couple of today's threads, I reckon.


GravatarKeith looks grayer and more distinguished after his vaca.

Gave up more than the nico habit, perhaps.


GravatarListen my children and you shall hear
Of the initial post of the blogger we revere
On the 17th of April, in 2002
Hardly a commenter is now posting
Who remembers that famous day and year.

Atrios was drunk
or probably stoned
Living in Orange County
Where all the liberals got boned

He cavorted and mused
Wondering when dozens would visit
Then the clusterfuck started
And we went into a tizzy

Then the fucking trolls ruined everything, goddamn them to the firey depths of hell...


GravatarA shload more savvy political commitment, fealty and awareness.
Max Planck


I expect nothing from him. He's always been a scumbag. His veneer of "thoughtfulness" just makes him that much more diabolical, in my book. He's as evil as any of them, and I don't think there's anything but vanity or resentment behind his latest babblings.

Just my opinion, though.


GravatarOh, I've asked my non-posting, but progressive spouse PhyllisDietrichson to post a thumbs up (or thumbs down) at an appropriate time.

.


GravatarI went to an outdoor concert last week. It consisted of four guys on stage with laptops and speakers. Seriously bizarre.

no imagination -

Rodin it is!


Gravatarolbermann comes across as quite the racist

Missed Olberman tonight, but that reminds me of a rather bizarre freeper thread I saw earlier today.

Those poor neocons haven't figured out yet that if you lie down with dogs, you just might get fleas.


GravatarPixie - I remember one time we were trying to get an Atrios comment thread up to 50...now he gets 50 in about five minutes.


GravatarAnd I just got smacked for typing that.


hee. I bet you get smacked a lot, Walter.

Poking at our glasses.


Tena - I had been reading for a while before my first post, and I had planned to make my entrance with:

"First. Post. Ever."

But somebody said something I had to respond to, and I just blurted something out. Sigh.


GravatarAh, calabacitas - I have the last bit of that in the ice box. The squash plants are about to be pulled - the watermelon and honeydew are about melonned out too. I should just go eat the stuff instead of, like all hypothyroids, look at it in awe and amazement. I end up disposing of a lot of food because I was admiring it, rather than eating it. Somehow there's a disconnect.

GravatarJust my opinion, though.

In an earlier thread, I mentioned that his sword and his falling on it are conspicuously missing from that soldier's CV.


GravatarChristmas will be in sunny Nelson, NZ with family and friends. It's a Festivus miracle!

dude, get well. this place won't be right without pics. of Fred MacMurray, ah, i mean WalterNeff.

Gravatarolbermann's ratings are going up!!!
of the 5000 posts in the last 24 hours, 6 of us have tuned in to his show!!!

woo hoo~~~!!!


GravatarI'm heading out on the town now, so I'll bid you all a good night.

Scout Prime, congrats on hitting the big time.

Walter Neff, treat it gentle, as Sidney Bechet would say.

Everyone else...well...good night!

Costas refuses to host show about Holloway
CNN wanted him to anchor show about girl who went missing in Aruba
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9013040

The Associated Press
Updated: 5:47 p.m. ET Aug. 19, 2005

NEW YORK - While some cable TV hosts are making their living off the Natalee Holloway case this summer, Bob Costas is having none of it.

Costas, hired by CNN as an occasional fill-in on “Larry King Live,” refused to anchor Thursday’s show because it was primarily about the Alabama teenager who went missing in Aruba. Chris Pixley filled in at the last minute.

“I didn’t think the subject matter of Thursday’s show was the kind of broadcast I should be doing,” Costas said in a statement. “I suggested some alternatives but the producers preferred the topics they had chosen. I was fine with that, and respectfully declined to participate.”

snip

His decision is reminiscent of Keith Olbermann, the former sportscaster who left his MSNBC news show in the late 1990s in part because he was asked to repeatedly cover the Monica Lewinsky story. Olbermann is back now for his second run at MSNBC.

Gravatar'night Phila. Have a great trip.


GravatarWell fuck me and I was at work and missed it.

GravatarPixie, I didn't think republicans would ever stoop to the level of "food server."

Have you checked the party affiliation of the food server that wrote that nasty message on the Jewish couple's check?

Gravatarscout prime --

Hesiod's Counterspin was a great site -- I remember seeing pie there & pansypoo & tomaig the fascist retard was a regular -- more photos than we get at Eschaton (he mentioned, looking for kitties)

I think some of the rebarbative hesiods earler were kosher -- don't know if all were

Someone told me that even I was once namestolen, although why anyone would bother is beyond me!


GravatarI'd never steal your name Prior.
I like you.
I miss you.
I miss your scent...your musk.


GravatarGWPDA:

I just clicked your homepage - you have an interest in WWI?

.


GravatarJust checked my site...Ahh this is a statement to the power of CNN I guess...today's hits = Pathetic

So there is Friday Cat Blogging: Teddy's Daily Ritual

Teddy is always a big draw anyway.


GravatarYou're the dimmest of the lot. Liar.


GravatarNotice how relatively troll-free we have been today? Maybe their masters realize that their attacks on Sheehan are starting to bite them in the butt.


GravatarBite us in the butt? That's rich, you wack jobs offered her up, and ate her alive. Give me a break.


GravatarDon't forget "Can you wear them on your shoulder like a continental soldier?"
Phila
damnit I was going there but you beat me to it.


Gravatardon't the highly moral "latest wave" conservatives understand that name stealing is stealing?

and lying.

and cowardly.

other than that i'm sure it's 100% good.

Why, yes. Yes, I do. You?


Gravataruber broad, the freepers responses were the best part, not the article. The neocons were shocked at the rudeness from the rubes - it was quite delightful!


GravatarTerry C, it was the freeper link I gave at 9:08.


GravatarCould somebody explain in plain English how we are eating Cindy Sheehan alive? The trolls seem to be getting even insaner.


GravatarI believe I have been name stolen!

How odd!

"drink sodden former Trotskyite popinjay"

GravatarWalterNeff --

NEVER mention Field Marshall Haig to GWPDA (just a warning)

"drink sodden former Trotskyite popinjay"

GravatarWhat if we just beat them at their own game. I think the Dems should propose eliminating taxes on overtime pay. The repugs would snub there nose at this boost for the working stiff and the dems could make it a huge 2006 issue.
