I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

GravatarFrist!


Gravatarwtf


GravatarBlogger looks more fucked up than before I went out.


Gravatarhuh?


GravatarDoes anyone have any idea what's going wrong?


GravatarDoes anyone have any idea what's going wrong?


GravatarHappy Saturday!


GravatarWhere's the thread I was just ON????? Dayum...


GravatarGood. The proof is back.


GravatarFreak show.


GravatarBlogger is a delicate flower.


GravatarBlogger is fer shit.


GravatarIt's all back...?


GravatarDung-blogger...


go somewhere else.


Gravatarlame duck
lame fuck
lame schmuck
limp dick


whatever...


GravatarFriday's back.


GravatarMan, this is like a Dr. Who episode.


GravatarThread is a many splintered thing...


Gravatarblogger ate one of my posts yesterday. at first I wondered if my memory was not playing tricks on me, so I was relieved when you had the same problem.


GravatarFriday's back.


The plot thickens


Gravatar"Friday's back."

It was a good Friday, it deserved to live again. That also means tomorrow is Saturday again.


GravatarTime considered as a helix of semi-precious threads...


GravatarIt's the gravatars, I tell ya.


GravatarAtrios, time Lord. When are you going to post a pic of your Tardis, Duncan?


GravatarAll thread is grass...
And I'm a lawnmower!

signed, Blogger


GravatarI am a professional historian.

I'm keeping a record about all this.


GravatarIt was a good Friday, it deserved to live again. That also means tomorrow is Saturday again.

Well you see boss, first friday was gone, then it came back on Saturday, which means yesterday was actualy Sunday, and today is Monday. Let Blogger explain it to you.


GravatarI'm scared and confused.


GravatarThis all happened immediately after I mentioned Diego Maradona in a now-nonexistent thread.

It was the "hand of God" that fixed it all.

.


GravatarEven a sonic screwdriver won't fix this. It's a job for the good witches of Eschaton.


GravatarDoes anyone have any idea what's going wrong?
Steve J.

off the top of my head, George W. fuck'n Bush.


Gravatar That also means tomorrow is Saturday again.

Well, it was Groundhog Day a bit ago. No way to prove it, of course...


Gravatar"Well you see boss, first friday was gone, then it came back on Saturday, which means yesterday was actualy Sunday, and today is Monday. Let Blogger explain it to you"

You know, I think I can actually pull that one off.


GravatarI've got a book called Monday starts on Saturday but not sure it applies here. Haven't read it yet.


GravatarDid I mention I was able to find a case of my favourite cheap champagne at Trader Joe's?


GravatarYay! I got off the computer early yesterday and missed the kitties. Now that they're bad all is right with the world.



Ok, not quite. There is still the little problem of our preznit in chief.
But I feel better anyway.


GravatarThis is what happens when you rely on dodgy things like them newfangled computers to do your blogging on. When I was a kid, we blogged on the backs of shovels! With coal! And we LIKED it!


GravatarFirst there is a thread
Then there is no thread
Then trhere is.
I blame Donovan...


GravatarYou're all talk, Tobes.


Bring it on....


GravatarGreat, now we have an undead Friday on our hands.


GravatarSabotage. Pure and simple. By whom we may never know.


Gravatar"It was the "hand of God" that fixed it all."

So you are tying Stephen King into Haloscan somehow.


GravatarNow that they're BACK, is what I meant.


GravatarI'll give you the quality of I. F. Stone's blog but the threads downloaded so slowly.


GravatarI was thinking, Bennet is right!!! Along the same lines, taking this story:

"Societies worse off 'when they have God on their side'
By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent


RELIGIOUS belief can cause damage to a society, contributing towards high murder rates, abortion, sexual promiscuity and suicide, according to research published today."

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/pri...98944- 2,00.html

into account, one can reasonably conclude that we could reduce crime rates by burning down every church/synagogue/mosque in the country!

Since, obviously, we effete liberal intellectuals would never consider such, what I suggest instead is infiltrating various right-wing hate groups. We'd promote safe church-burning, ensuring no injuries or deaths. They do the crime, they do the time! Further damage to the right wing.

You remember what the HeadRubber said about what he'd do to the terrorists asnd their supporters: divide them, make them fight each other, etc.

It was a good plan, but executed by incompetents, who succeeded in doing that to the U.S., while unifying terrorists against us.

And we're smarter than the HorseWankerer, right? How bout we do that to the right-wing, while unifying the left? Hell, the rightwingers will do it to themselves, they just need a little encouragement.

Right?


Gravatar I am a professional historian.

I like to dress up as a Professional Historian. It's a game Mary & I like to play.


GravatarThat'll teach me to go buy some vodka. I was looking forward to reading the disappearing thread. The Glass Bead Game.

I still find it entertaining. Bouncing around in bizarro world.

Probably Atrios is pissed. And I can't blame him.


Gravatarwow. has anyone see the freedom fund (i think) commercial demonizing ronnie earle and saying support delay and the republican agenda?


GravatarI don't know how this blogger stuff works, but I suggest you change your password. Unless other bloggers agree that blogger is screwed up, it could just be that someone has hacked your password.

Alternatively, it could be that Lileks has shown Holden the Queen of Diamonds again.


GravatarGravatars are decadent. Read the Bible people! Somewhere in the back...


Gravatar"This is what happens when you rely on dodgy things like them newfangled computers to do your blogging on. When I was a kid, we blogged on the backs of shovels! With coal! And we LIKED it!"

Lit only by firelight, our only source for heat.

Hey, wait a minute, that's what it'll be like here this winter!


GravatarJust planting seeds....


GravatarFirst there is a Blogger,

Then there is no Blogger,

Thene there is.....


Gravatar I'm scared and confused.

Fo so long it's not true?


GravatarSuch a shame that I.F. Stone didn't live into the blog age.

I can't dress as an historian, no tweed with suede elbows.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

What gets her the hottest, the pipe? The elbow patches? The penny loafers? The stubble? No, wait, I bet it's the sweater-vest!


Gravatar Don't mention the Argentine football player!

apologies.


GravatarOK,so I gave in and went and looked up what "yclept" means. Neat. Now I want to go around using it --bad, bad catalexis, no biscut.


GravatarIt is past time for all true progressives to resign from the democratic party and refuse their fundraising calls and let their corrporate masters finance their support of the Bush agenda.


GravatarMore.Than.I.Needed.To.Know.


GravatarWaiting patiently till The Colbert Report... October 17th!!!


GravatarDp, you're not the boss of me. Fuck off.


GravatarI'm scared and confused.

Fo so long it's not true?


Wanted a blog
Never bargained for yooouuuuu...


GravatarColbert! It's French, bitch! Can't wait.


GravatarOL in NY:

BigVic just sent me a really cute
pic of you and me at the post-
Karma hotel room party from
Eschacon.


GravatarHey!

Friday's back!!

and now i think i know why Thers doesn't think miami is sexy.

my AA sponser, a philosophy dude from fordham dressed exactly like that. no wonder i'm drunk again.


GravatarHas it been chilled? If so, I would really love a taste.

Thank you. Thank you very much.


Yes, many of them have been chilled. Waiting.....

Fishnet hoods!

Velvet bands with silk facings. And gathered cuffs so that unlike the lousy masters, I CAN HIDE MY HANDKERCHIEFS OF SCHOLARSHIP.


GravatarThis is, I believe, what is meant by the phrase "an embarassment of riches."


GravatarIs it possible that Eschaton is being hacked. If so, I nominate the DoD. I bet they don't like some of the things we have said about Rumsfailed.


GravatarDid I mention I was able to find a case of my favourite cheap champagne at Trader Joe's?

Erm....

cheap champagne=world class hangover


Gravatar"wow. has anyone see the freedom fund (i think) commercial demonizing ronnie earle and saying support delay and the republican agenda?"
--kmc


Doesn't mean anything. This isn't an election. This is a court of law (I hope).

Buh bye!


GravatarI actually dress down as a historian. A little bit of 18th century slumming, drinking ripple while perusing archives, and masturbating to Tonybee or Spengler.

I had only heard that phrase used to describe the situation when Dunkin Donuts throws out its stale donuts in the afternoon.

Stay classy, everyone...


GravatarSo what is going to be our october surprise

a) Rove
b) Frist
c) Scooter
d) all of the above


GravatarGWPDA, are those +3 Hndkcfs of Schlshp? Crit on 18?


GravatarAnd, thank gawd Friday's back.

Way past five o'clock.


Gravatarsteve simels

Yeah, she sent one to me too! It is a good pic. We look so comfortable together, especially since we had met, what five minutes before that? We could be brother and sister in that pic.


GravatarSeason premiere of SNL tonite. They had all summer to prepare it, they better not screw it up. I hope Tina Fey is not yet on maternity leave


GravatarNoooooooooooooo, flory, this is GOOD, cheap champagne.... Trader Joe's! Astonishingly dry and 100% hangover free. They actually surpassed themselves with this stuff - the previous best cheap champagne from Trader Joe's was some French stuff they smuggled out from Marseilles one night, paying no duty and letting no one be their master. Two-buck Charles that was....

"I bet it's the sweater-vest!" - nah. All academics know, it's the run-over heels on the scuffed and unkempt brogans that make all the difference in allure.

Kanye West, meet TiVo...

GravatarOK,so I gave in and went and looked up what "yclept" means. Neat. Now I want to go around using it --bad, bad catalexis, no biscut.
catalexis


I did the same thing,then used it at dinner conversation. Rats, Mr. QL knew what it meant.


GravatarThere is a report that Swinburn sat in the cathedral masturbating to muscleman pictures at Tennyson's funeral.

Anyone know if it's true?


Gravatar"...and masturbating to Tonybee or Spengler."
--spinoza

So, pants on? pants off?


GravatarThers,

How does that game work? Is it the professional historian and the grad student? Or the professional historian and the Egyptia Queen time traveler? Inquiring minds want to know!


Gravatarnew Atrios post - now that everything seems to be ok


Gravatar So what is going to be our october surprise

a) Rove
b) Frist
c) Scooter
d) all of the above


Fristie won't be October.

The Times fevered defense of Miller is hilarious.

Have to see.


GravatarIt is past time for all true progressives to resign from the democratic party and refuse their fundraising calls and let their corrporate masters finance their support of the Bush agenda.

I agree with this sentiment. I have resigned from the party and shifted my voter registration to Independent. I also tell the fundraising callers to never call me again.

It can't suck as bad as last year sucked. That was a one in a hundred year suckfest.


GravatarWD you do use a Mac to switch names that fast, don't you?


Gravatar Waiting patiently till The Colbert Report... October 17th!!!

From looking at your gravatar, I wonder if you're also waiting for a certain 356.36-oz. tome being published this Tuesday?


Gravatar That also means tomorrow is Saturday again.

Woo-hoo!


Shorter vlogspot:

All your thread belong to us.


GravatarThey are the HANDKERCHIEFS OF DOOM.

And yes. I am a DOG. Why do you ask?


.


Gravatarvlogspot?


GravatarNoooooooooooooo, flory, this is GOOD, cheap champagne.... Trader Joe's!

Promising.

*Note to self: Must taste test*


GravatarWD you do use a Mac to switch names that fast, don't you?

I would never use the over-priced ugly computers called Macs. They are the absolute worst thing in the IT world.


GravatarHow does that game work? Is it the professional historian and the grad student?

I believe that game is played as Dissertation Advisor and Lazy Candidate.....


GravatarAnd yet once again Fate gives us the purple finger from Iraq for our hubris:

Splits emerge between Kurds and Shiites in Iraqi government
Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Sharp divisions emerged Saturday between Iraq's ruling Kurdish and Shiite Muslim factions after Iraq's Kurdish president accused the Shiite prime minister of breaking coalition promises and overly dominating the government.

Kurdish officials warned they would consider pulling out of the government if their demands aren't met. That would cause the collapse of the government and add a new layer of political instability and fragmentation between Iraq's main communities.


The only thing messier than a civil war is a three-way civil war.



The friction comes ahead of an Oct. 18 vote on a new constitution, which both the Kurds and Shiites support. But Iraq's Sunni Arab minority is trying to defeat the charter at the polls, fearing it will give too much power to the other two communities.


Gravatarflory - Ask for the Schlossberg Bix Beiderbicke. They'll know.


GravatarPatty Wetterling becomes the first senatorial candidate to demand a troop withdrawal date of next Thanksgiving


Recently, I've
been thinking a lot about some numbers:


* 1,400 empty-handed
weapons inspectors.

* Almost 2,000
American lives lost.

* Almost $200
billion spent.

* 150,000 soldiers
still in Iraq.

* 0 plans to bring
an end to it all.


The war in Iraq is costing this country and Minnesota in lives, treasure, and opportunity, and we can no longer afford to continue down the path we're on.

GravatarAaargh.

What is with Haloscan today? It inserts my final comment before the last paragraph of the AP story.


GravatarPerhaps the first opening skit of SNL might be a little bit funny, since they want to attract viewers. I might watch that, and even if it's great the rest of the show and season will probably suck again so it's not worth it.


Gravatar"Every one in this room is wearing a uniform, don't kid yourself". There are several "Professor" uniforms, and that's one of 'em.

well, i'm wearing my homemade guerilla republic t-shirt with a naked devil chick on it. pretty sure that's not one of them, then again i ain't a professor. but frank was right, it's all about the uniform, hey.

i love this blog, made me remember that guy. he was pretty cool. had an invitation to go to oxford, but not the money.

GravatarAmid Turmoil, G.O.P. Seeks to Regain Grip on Its Agenda

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 - After a brutal political month, Republicans are scrambling both to reassure their conservative base and to send a broader message to the American public - that they are, in fact, confronting the real-world issues of soaring gas prices, Hurricane Katrina relief, Iraq and immigration, while the Democrats are consumed with partisan warfare.
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/ 0...artner=homepage

This mandatory now:
"Democrats are consumed with partisan warfare"

In one form or another you get "the dems are in disarray." As the repubs sink deeper and deeper into a giant stinking shit pile of corruption, incompetence and greed remember: "Democrats are consumed with partisan warfare." Oy!

I like this gem from rethug dreier:
"Their mantra is 'they're corrupt and everything they do is bad,' " Mr. Dreier said. But, he added, "You can't replace something with nothing."

dreier sets the bar kinda low doesn't he? Oy!

How moronic are bush republicans! How dumb are their rank and file!


GravatarHmmm-- I seem to be able to SEE my gravatars on this thread -- how long will that last?
