threadbot gone wild!
Godless dims dance.
Uh, oh, threadbot is on crack again.

Atrios' out-of-control threadbot proves that he has lost it and we all must stop the scamming by abandoning every leftist thought and going to work for the RNC.
6 mins: GOAL Argentina 0-1 Mexico
Pavel Pardo's free-kick from the right is flicked on by Mario Mendez and Rafael Marquez escapes the clutches of Gabriel Heinze to steal in at the back post and slide in and score.

Well, I'm off to the gym. Keep threadbot off the crack while I'm gone.
I don't really mind in ads in Haloscan. At least once you've scrolled down a bit you don't have to look at it.
1-1 in less 10 minutes! Exciting game!

This is what you'd expect from these teams, though. They're both great.
the BBC allows you to turn off the commentary.
which is quite pleasant.
so all you hear is the crowd

9 mins: GOAL Argentina 1-1 Mexico Argentina have their first sustained spell in attack. Juan Roman Riquelme's free-kick is deflected out for a corner off the wall. Hernan Crespo looks to have headed in the playmaker's subsequent corner, and while the Chelsea man takes the plaudits from his team-mates it will have to go down as an own goal off Jared Borgetti's head.

Nearly 150 rebels killed in Afghanistan in a fortnight
KABUL (AFP) - The Afghan defence ministry has said that 149 rebels had been killed in the past two weeks as part of the biggest anti-Taliban operation since the hardliners were removed from power in 2001.
The coalition said it estimated 65 were killed in battles on Friday alone, although the Afghan army put the toll at about 45.
Another 61 had been arrested in the past fortnight during Operation Mountain Thrust, defence ministry spokesman General Mohammad Zahir Azimi told reporters.
The operation is focused on southern Afghanistan, among the areas worst hit by an increasingly deadly insurgency launched by the Taliban movement after it was removed from government by a US-led coalition in late 2001.

Anti dim rallys this weekend on a big river steamboat off the Natchez docks. We pushed off into the big currents and it carried us down that big historic river. The air was perfumed, they skies were robin egg blue. Myriad birds were in the thick Southern wilderness trees on the banks. Rich magnolia covered in odiferous blossoms, holly, beach, yellow poplar - all resplendant and regal. Warblers and thrushes darting the the shadowed thickets. Swallow Tailed Kites pinwheelin' high in the sky catching dragonflies. Ahingas showed their catches stuck on the ends of their beaks, their heads like snakes poking up through the muddy water. A friend caught a giant Gar, a prehistoric, fish, we dedicated it to the anti dim cause. The speeches were historic and pure as a gambler's cigar.
Well then first, General sir. You need to learn the lingo. It is a match, not a game. And it is played on the pitch, not a field. The players wear boots, not cleats. Although, it is viewed from a stadium. The object is to keep the moving amongst your fellow mates until one of you can get a good shot on goal, the close the better. The real strategery is to cheat without getting called for it.
General Zod - I agree. The comparison is no good. Football sucks.
Soccer is happening.
You don't get the strategery of either, must be.

They need to shorten the game to two 30 minute halves and actually stop the clock when play stops (games would be about as long with about the same amount of play and you wouldn't have half this bullshit where players writhe on ground in pain when they haven't even been touched). They need to stop rewarding the defense for fouling anywhere outside the penalty box. They need to actually call fouls that happen in the penalty box. They need to call offsides less stringently.
I just love the You'll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Ariaga!

Mexico or Portugal!
Portuguese is a lot like Mexican, or so the wingnuts say. Non-Castro Spanish is OK, however.
What I hate about football is that, whenever anything happens, everybody stops. Can't they keep going, like in hockey?

I am only voicing my opinion. But to compare soccer ( a game that you can't even tell how much time is left) to football is a little much.
General Zod
Mmm, perhaps the better comparison is to playoff hockey or baseball- it's all about buildup, nervous energy. But the possession/tactical aspect is closest to football, in my opinion. Even without a "reset" of the field after every down, you get the same effect with a change in possession and an ensuing "reset" of attackers/defenders. Of course, crappy soccer is terrible. Worse than a Texans-49ers game.
Wow, do I need to do more work.
( a game that you can't even tell how much time is left)
Well, I've never watched a football game that had a 15 minute quarter.
soccer players are by and large the most gorgeous athletes on the planet.
Hockey players are prettier.
I'd rather watch a nil-nil fútbol game or a 1-0 baseball game than a 150 - 148 basketball game anyday.

It was the last World Cup when advertisers whined no end about not having any breaks to insert commercials, wasn't it?
Anybody hear anything more about the eightysomething Iraqi factory workers kidnapped a while back? The story seems to have vanished without a trace.

I am amazed to find that googling "brute froth holes" yields a few dith hits, but dismayed to find that googling "brute froth hole" somehow yields a comment I made yesterday.
22 mins: Another neat Esteban Cambiasso touch in midfield releases Hernan Crespo on the left, but with Oswaldo Sanchez racing off his line the Argentine flicks the ball over the keeper and wide of the goal.
Hockey players are prettier.
Thers,
I beg to differ, sir, and I will draw ducks at 50 paces to defend my position.
I never mentioned pitch, or boots. I'm not denying you passion for the game at all. I'm just saying that to me, it is more boring than US football. I did know the correct terms. I went to a lot of games (excuse me, matches) while I was in Frankfurt. A very nice day out, but the match was almost secondary.

If they're wearing their partial plates.
Newsweek on MSN.com:
A national reconciliation plan for Iraq calls for a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops and, controversially, amnesty for insurgents who attacked American and Iraqi soldiers.
The provisions will spark sharp debate in Iraq—but the fiercest opposition is likely to come from Washington, which has opposed any talk of timetables, or of amnesty for insurgents who have attacked American soldiers.
Yeah, who cares what those Eyeraqis want? Just a bunch of cut 'n runners.

Repukes tell deathly lies smoothly, from their inencumbered maws of greed. The blood flows in rivulets of carmine, across the sparkling desert sand, as the too few face the too desperate, both armed with the lies and profits of evil, thus armed poorly, and considered as tools for an unjust cause.
how'm I doing, dith? sorry it's in English, I don't speak Asshole.
It just might be possible that there are no objective criteria to judge whether one sport is "better" than another with any empirical certainty.
In the absence of any such criteria, I think it would be best for everyone if we agreed that my own personal preferences should be accepted as Absolute Truth.

Anyway, I don't see what's so attractive about these soccer players. No tingling, sorry.
Down avenues of trees we drifted, rallying, carrying the antidim cry through the heart of America. We saw bears drunk with grapes ambling on the muddy banks, reeling on the branches of the elm trees; a Caribou like herd bathing in a foamy lake covered in mist; red squirrels ran and jumped in thick foliage; mockingbirds and Virgina Doves no larger than sparrows flew down to grass patches red with strawberries; green parrots with yellow heads, crimson tinged woodpeckers and fire bright cardinals spiraled up to the tops of cypresses; hummingbirds sparkled like diamonds, buffed with blood red; and bird-catching serpents hissed as they swung, like lianas, from the forest domes.
Anti dim is this river forever.
Portuguese is a lot like Mexican, or so the wingnuts say
Most of them can't even handle English, so how could they tell Portuguese from Spanish?

He has to go but it is only a yellow card. A lucky escape and doesn't Ricardo La Volpe know it. He has gone beserk in the technical area.
That doesn't even hold a candle to the thrill of a red card moment.

Excuse me, but no one voted to put Bill Keller in charge of our national security, and the laws covering classification of materials does not have an option for journalists to invalidate their clearance level. The continuing arrogance of Keller and his two reporters has damaged our national security, and in this case on a ridiculously laughable story that tells us absolutely nothing we didn’t already know in concept. They keep pretending to offer news to their readers, but instead all they do is blow our national-security programs for profit.

I had a bit part in it way back when and had it not been for the bitchy Dale Evans, Roy and I, on several occasions, would have ridden together to the sunset.
But what a political innocent he was, telling me once that it was simple.
He'd not had a pot to piss in growing up on the wrong side of the Ohio tracks, and now that he had a few million, he wanted to keep it all, and Republicans were most likely to help him do it, considering their fixation on greed.
I asked him one night who he thought was the greatest American. Washington? Jefferson? Lincoln? Roosevelt?

Aye, Moonboo, true for ye.
And we find that the definition of "ball" is historically elastic:
The balls used in early Britain were probably made from inflated animal bladders, though there are persistent rumors of games played with human heads. The skulls of either Roman or Viking oppressors were said to have been batted about at various Dark Age revelries. The British also may have had a soccer-like game played with the head of an animal, used in pre-Christian times as a fertility rite.

He was also a hero, killed in the 1942 Coconut Grove fire in Boston with close to 400 others. He gave his life continually rushing back into the fire trying to save others; and not coincidentally he was also a great Western star of the 1930s, the strong silent type, a Gable in chaps with a horse named Silver (even before The Lone Ranger).

Six people have been arrested in raids in the Irish Republic in which 2m euro (£1.4m) worth of cocaine, guns and ammunition were seized.
Police said up to 30kg (66 pounds) of cocaine was found following a number a raids in Dublin and County Meath.
Two men and three women, all in their thirties, and one man in his fifties, are being questioned at police stations in north Dublin.
A spokesman said the raids were part of a continuing police operation.
The six people were arrested under the Offences Against the State Act and can be held for up to 72 hours.

let the inevitable porn references commence:
The ancient game of Buzkashi has been played in northern Afghanistan since the days of Ghengis Khan, the Mongol warrior whose army swept across Asia in the 13th century. It is a fierce game of competition played on the steppes of Asia by expert horsemen. The Mongols lived and died in the saddle. Today, it is played in the Afghan provinces of Maimana, Mazar-i-Sharif, and Kataghan. As a rule, women are not allowed to watch.
The carcass of an animal is used. Goats are preferred, but small calves will do if goats are in short supply. A carcass is soaked in cold water for 24 hours before the game. This is done so the carcass will remain intact and not be torn to pieces as hundreds of chopendoz horsemen independently compete to grab and carry the carcass to the winning circle. Usually, a the carcass is beheaded, its four legs are cut off from the knee, and its insides emptied before soaking. Sand is sometimes packed inside for extra bulk. Once the carcass has been prepared for the game, it is called a boz in the language of Turkoman.

A while back I compared catching up on a ginormous thread to descending in a one-person submersible to the depths of an ocean. Another regular-- can't recall who, unfortunately-- replied that she always pictured trying to catch up as climbing up a mountainside.
I also often think in terms of the "corner bar" scenario, way before I'd heard of Billmon, and even though I've never actually frequented one.
But there are certain patterns of regular activity that one can't help but notice out of the corner of one's eye, and sometimes directly.
I'm fascinated by the way people form varying opinions or perceptions of the common ground here.

"But two Republicans, Arizona Sen. John McCain and Rep. Jim Kolbe, called Goldwater's comments "deeply offensive" and asked state Republicans to reject his candidacy in the Sept. 12 primary."
I'm presuming we're referencing Don Goldwater, who's running for AZ Governor. He's a fool. He's a known fool. No, McCain and Kolbe do not agree with him - nobody except possibly JD Hayworth would agree with him. We're not idiots out here, Terry, even if we aren't Back East....

Dodo skeleton find in Mauritius
Scientists say they have discovered part of the skeleton of a dodo, the large, flightless bird which became extinct more than 300 years ago.
One of the team in Mauritius said it is the first discovery of fully-preserved dodo bones which could provide clues as to how the bird became extinct.
Last October, they discovered a number of dodo bones at the site, but said the current find was more "significant".
The bird is thought to have been hunted to extinction by European settlers.
No complete skeleton has ever been found in Mauritius, and the last full set of bones was destroyed in a fire at a museum in Oxford, England, in 1755.

Brooksian Buffoonery.
.
From Raw Story: Brooks suggests that Markos is a hypocrite for lashing out at The New Republic for leaking the private emails.
"The Kingpin waxed Cheneyesque on the evils of leaking, and this time the squeaking fury of the Kossacks could be heard (to those capable of discerning high frequencies) far and wide," writes Brooks.
Brooks also compares Markos to the indicted former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
"The Kingpin is not surprised by such betrayals," opines Brooks. "Sounding like Tom DeLay -- who is his moral doppelgaenger -- Kos says that those who crash the gates and take on the establishment are bound to be attacked."
I have a prediction for Sunday's Wanker of the Day.
Who knew Kos was so commanding?
Boy, who knew envy would bring out such long, sharp knives.
I've never met Markos, and I only know him through his writings and a few appearances on the talking head shows. He doesn't seem to be particularly intimidating. He seems pretty smart and articulate, but I don't get any sense that he cares to tell anyone else what to think or say.
He does seem to care that people are given accurate information so that they can make their own decisions, and maybe that's what the right wing is afraid of. They want people to only hear what Cheney wants them to hear, and follow like sheep.

This is fun but I've got to go. This was my afternoon post.
THE REGARD OF BLOGGING
The recent denunciations of the old media against the blogs are too furious and too coordinated to be coincidental. They've been grousing about this among themselves in a very serious manner indeed. This is the popcorn hull in their teeth that they can't get out and can't live with. Well, unless Congress kills it off they'll just have to get used to it, it's not coming out.
The accusation that the blogs are any one thing are another and that there is a blogging community that has any kind of hierarchy is a charge only someone who had no experience of it could make. The blogs of the left, not so oddly the ones that have them shook, are too large in number, too amazingly varied and too independent for the charges brought to come near the mark. Most of the political blogs are free to their owners, some sweat equity not withstanding. Anyone can get a blog if they've got a computer and an internet connection. It's the exact anti-matter to the corporate media. Largely anonymous, if chosen, and without credentials, whether one succeeds depends entirely on the ability to write or produce something that people want to see again.
So, the panicked and most unjournalistically unsourced ethics charges against blogs and blogging........
They might as well take out ethics charges against paper.
See you tomorrow, friends.
Do you expect me to talk, Kosfinger?

"It will be a joy to watch another 30 minutes. The introduction of Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez has added pace that is putting Argentina on top."
Kevin Gallacher, BBC Five Live Sport
It does seem that the media, collectively, have decided to try and take Kos down.
It seems that bloggers in general, and Kos specifically have challenged the status quo, just a little too much.
I blogged the other day, and last week that the media were going to ignore blogging, and move onto the next big thing.
However, they aren't done with blogging yet. Only now it is a hostility that is very disturbing. If the media really start attacking bloggers, and blogging like we have seen from TNR, and now David Brooks, they really could go to town, and I fear what could come of it.
Let's hope not.
NTodd: Well, maybe they got bitten by rabid badgers?

As an aside, what you are doing is trolling even if you stick to the Usenet defintion (which stopped applying to the usenet trolls when they started doing stuff like crapflooding[Hi fy!] and margin-busting). And being a troll has never required any sort of ideological fealty. People troll for all sorts of reasons.
Also. If you're going to use 50 cent words in an effort to try and impress people, you might try usimg them properly.

The first head to it is Maxi Rodriguez and the danger is cleared. There's a little bit of afters between Roberto Ayala and Rafael Marquez in the box.
Atrios: There was this kid I grew up with - he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me - you know. We did our first work together - worked our way out usenet groups. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Bush - he ran ads across the whole blogosphere - made a fortune - Armstrong, too. As much as anyone, I loved him - and trusted him. Later on he had an idea - to host a convention in a former desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Markos Moulitsos - and the convention he created was YearlyKos in Las Vegas. This was a great man - a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque - or a signpost - or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order - when I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Kos - I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead - I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen - I didn't ask who gave the order - because it had nothing to do with business!

It is very subjective. However, whether the ref calls it or not, is largely based on intent. If it looks as if the player intentionally put his arm out to stop the ball, unless it hits straight on the chest, then it can be a handball.

Not only the netroots - but discussions on the lefty blogs are making their way to the grassroots - the folks who man the phones, canvas neighborhoods, go to the fundraisers, etc. I just came out of Democratic convention that was fired up as never before. Democrats are going to take back the corner office in Massachusetts - we haven't had a Democratic Governor in years.
I must get 50 emails a day from all sorts of Democratic organizations asking for money or asking for help in the campaigns. I think the lefy blogs have inspired a real movement - more than even the 2004 election did. I know, I live in a Democratic Blue State, but usually people take that for granted - not any more. It's exciting to see, and I'm optimistic about the mid-terms even though I know it's an uphill battle. If we are ever going to take back the House and Senate - this is the best "climate" to make it happen!!

In theory, it would be any part of the arm used to intentionally impact the ball, objectively. But it is subjective as David said.

Arms extended and ball hits anywhere below the shoulder = handball. Arms to the side, anything below the elbow.
I assume Brooks is Fredo in this little drama, right?
If it looks as if the player intentionally put his arm out to stop the ball, unless it hits straight on the chest, then it can be a handball.
David (Austin Tx)
Thanks for the answer. Just about 15 seconds after I asked the question, a player tried to head a ball and missed and it hit him on the upper arm about 1/2 way to the elbow, and it was called a handball. I'm guess the whole arm is off limits it it's extended from the body.

A wonder strike in extra-time from Maxi Rodriguez gave Argentina victory in a pulsating end-to-end encounter.
Mexico took a surprise lead after five minutes when Rafael Marquez got on the end of a Mario Mendez free-kick.
Argentina replied five minutes later when Jared Borgetti headed into his own net under pressure from Hernan Crespo.
Rodriguez won it when he chested down a Juan Pablo Sorin diagonal ball and volleyed home from 25 yards to set up a quarter-final tie with hosts Germany.

Man sentenced to death for abusive tattoos
A Chinese man who tattooed the word prostitute and other insults on his girlfriend, and similarly abused two other women against their will, has been sentenced to death, the Shanghai Daily reported yesterday. Zhou Jingzhi, 44, from the north-eastern Jilin province, held his girlfriend Li, 54, captive for three months, etching her body in ink with the words "seduced seven men", "adultery", "never forget" and "prostitute".
The paper said Zhou's ex-wife and a former girlfriend had been similarly abused. His sentence could be commuted to life in prison if he is a co-operative inmate, it said.
So, instead of making fun of Wasted we were supposed to be impressed? Why?
Brooks suggests that Markos is a hypocrite for lashing out at The New Republic for leaking the private emails.
"The Kingpin waxed Cheneyesque on the evils of leaking, and this time the squeaking fury of the Kossacks could be heard (to those capable of discerning high frequencies) far and wide," writes Brooks.
Yes, leaking the private emails of a blogger is quite the same goddamned thing as government leaks. It's also quite a bit if a trick for Zengerle and the TNR to leak those to themselves. What they did was reproduce them in order to engage in rank speculation without contacting any of the people involved.
Blogger ethics all around.

The Greatest Story Ever Told

http://demographix.blogspot.com/
England fans held by riot police
Riot police are removing England fans from Stuttgart's main square.
German police are taking away about 200 supporters who were were being held together in a corner of the city's main square. Chairs and bottles were thrown earlier by small groups of rival fans.
The rest of the square has been filled with thousands watching the Argentina vs Mexico match on the big screen.
Of the 122 England fans arrested in Stuttgart on Friday night all are likely to be held until Monday.
Currently, police are surrounding the remaining fans in the square but the atmosphere has eased.
Up to 50 fans were arrested earlier in the evening and over the course of the evening up to 200 fans have been gradually led away by German police.

A contentious Orange Order parade in the Whiterock area of west Belfast has passed off peacefully.

Nationalist protesters lined part of the Springfield Road as the parade passed on Saturday.
Senior police officers joined community leaders in praising both sides for ensuring a "successful" outcome.
Chief Superintendents Gary White and David Boultwood also urged communities to continue to work together to ensure the rest of the marching season was peaceful.

No, I know of it, but haven't seen it. Just making a blind man- elephant ref.
Is it possible? Could Wolcott be reading Attaturk?
His attempt to enlarge the frame of his argument and isolate the fascist gene that makes the Kossacks and their ilk so dangerous to democracy and discourse is an embarrassing display of smarmy sophistry the likes of which I haven’t seen since Jonah Goldberg last tried to form a serious, non-Captain Kirk thought.

BlogCrit from the woman whose greatest claim to fame is the number of loads she can take in the face in one three-minute fuck scene.
Notice though blogging is a natural progression of technology and the market place, the "free market" people are not defending the loss of street credibility by traditional media outlets, with the rise of bloggers.
By the way, I'm late to the "angry fascist blogger" party, but it appears that Wolcott just fucking NAILS it:
"Perhaps I should look in the mirror. Perhaps I'm one of those Angry Bloggers who's turning the playground into a graffiti-strewn, bullet-pocked gang hangout, beating up spindly writers from slick magazines who wander unawares into our "turf." But wait--I write for those slick magazines too. So by definition I can't be an Angry Blogger, even if I have a blog, and occasionally lose my equaninimous cool. Because, after all, those of us who compose beautiful music for print are superior to those who write online, even if we dally online ourselves; we got class, after all, a certain airy refinement, not to mention couth."

Martin Peretz is one of the owners of The New Republic. He is also the editor-in-chief of said magazine. Up until now, he has never, he informs us, read a single word of what gets posted over at Daily Kos. Well, since Kos personally attacked TNR a few days ago, Peretz has taken the time to read the 'flagship' of the people-powered netroots.
Martin Peretz is very unimpressed with the Daily Kos.
He is so unimpressed that he has published his response to Kos' personal attack with a brilliant, masterful smack down of positively biblical proportions.
And his rant against us, well, borders on a nut case's. When a high-minded or, rather, high-strung moralist is accused by The New York Times of journalistic hanky-panky and then by TNR of running an ideological censorship bureau, reminiscent of the old Catholic Legion of Decency, he will go off the rails. And he did. "This is what The New Republic had evolved into–just another cog of the Vast RIGHT Wing Conspiracy." An old professor of mine once warned me against writers who use capital letters for emphasis. Good advice she gave me. Capital letters suggest some imbalance in the mind of their employer. In whose interests has TNR sought "to destroy the new people-powered movement"? Kos answers his own question: "for the sake of its Lieberman-worshipping neo-con owners; that it stands with the National Review and wingnutosphere in their opposition to grassroots Democrats." Don't look at Kos's grammar. He's ranting.
This is a must read. Short, elegant, brutal and virtually guaranteed to have Kos' (and all the Koz Kiddiez) monitor screen deluged by vast amounts of spittle. There's gonna be a run on monitors at Best Buy!

Hecate - When we left Siena to go to Rome, we went up into the Umbrian hills to the hill town of Bagnoregio. The people I was traveling with were giving the townspeople a concert that night in their church.
We ate at a beautiful villa in the country, an agriturismo. Then we went back to town for the concert. Bagnoregio is way up on a limestone outcrop, and the views from the town were incredible. a road ran in front of the church with a stone wall. The other side dropped down sheer to the steep folds in the hills. I stood outside and leaned on that wall and watched the full moon come up over the hills of Umbria.

Hecate - I did have a wonderful trip. That was the very best day, actually, and it ended up being the most poorly planned in terms of timing.
After the concert, the mayor started speaking. And he spoke and he spoke and he spoke and then he found out there were going to be pictures. So he had to go home to get his sash so he could wear it in the pictures. And his grandkids were running in and out - it was so wonderful sitting in that church with the whole town.
But it was a very long day. We got up early, drove up to Bagnoregio. Then we got the local tram that takes one up to the bottom of the causeway to the Civita de Bagnoregio. You climb up this causeway to a walled medieval town. It was magic. I was unbelievabe - there were no other tourists there, except a handful of Italians. It was gorgeous.
Then dinner at the villa, the concert, the mayor and that's why we got into Rome at 3 AM. We had a 5:30AM wakeup call for a walking tour. We paid for those magic moments, I'll tell you. But they were awesome.
I honestly did think about you when I was watching the full moon rise. It was pretty much unforgettable.
Wolcott makes a great point, that at some level the Brooks's and the Peretz's are as perturbed as prom-night decolletage that web-based vulgarians were right and they were wrong. By extension: If you were David Brooks, would you be able to show your face in public, much less attack other people's opinion or expressions thereof?
"Those senators who voted against the President are voting against the flowering of democracy in Iraq."
That sentence alone is meritous of aeons of persiflage.

"The Kingpin is not surprised by such betrayals," opines Brooks. "Sounding like Tom DeLay -- who is his moral doppelgaenger -- Kos says that those who crash the gates and take on the establishment are bound to be attacked."
Hmmm....I remember Brooksie once described DeLay as modest and humble during a political eulogy on the News Hour, there were about eight other divorced from reality adjectives, but I distinctly remember those two. But now DeLay is the doppelganger of the evil Kos. Amazing what an indictment can do for one's character.

I can't believe no one's said this yet, but....
Kos is Keyser Soze!
Pffft. That was just too obvious.
You are best selling historical novelist™ Rob, right?

Rob aka Da Trufe? Or are we talking about someone else?
Ashlyn's babblings about Ezra Pound, from about a year ago, are still the funniest troll-spew I've ever read.
Kos is Atrios, with Microsoft face.
Kos shot Tupac.
Owwwls.
Alright. I have to hunt you down and kill you now.
I'm quite upset that I missed his only concert appearance of 2006 last week.
Thankfully, it was filmed in its entirety for DVD release. Guess you know what you're getting for Christmas, Robert!
but no one has said Kos is Spartacus. Spartakos?
KOS is the hilltop gunman.

Yeah, JADE, and some other literary names as well.
I'm pretty sure Ashlyn Gear owned up to being the same dude as Rob who claimed to be a best selling historical novelist living in NYC.
There's some babbling back there onder the Ashlyn pseudonym about the NY transit strike for whatever that's worth.
Dear Mr Brooks Suit: I think 9-11 must have changed everything. At least for us on the blogs. We take things that are weakening our society very seriously now. Right after 9-11 the professional journalists all got on teevee and made weepy faces and admitted that they had been asleep at the wheel about things that really mattered, chasin OJ and missing white women through the streets instead, but they were only reading a script that told them to look sincere and say that directly into the camera with the red light turned on. Then they were given their paychecks. Well, we've all seen that that proclamation was a bald faced lie and they are all back to talking about killer sharks and Natalee Holloway and how good Bush looks in a flight suit. Now the people who have to go to the blogs to hear the truth and talk about the problems the truth uncovers and scream about the liars and greedy cowards who milk the problems for their own advantage didn't say those things in public for a ratings boost, they took it to heart, and that's why we are very different from the likes of you.
McKuen not dead?
But I read his poetry.
Are you sure?
But I read his poetry.
That's your problem right there.
" Dims align themselves with bad anarchy and dust. Clowns on the wrong side. Till they stumble down streets. Dressed in rags. Hit hard. Hit right out of them. Messengers of the joke. The jokes of hurt. That blood the laughter of nowhere.

Brooks and Peretz in their need to denigrate and marginalize the god of Kos rather than offer any point of augumentive reason make me think the gents, "doth protest too much".
Such a growing vociferous outcry against the evil that is Kos and his Kosites and the Eschatonian masses, confirms for me more than ever that the they (Wingnutz United) are running scared. How the hell are they supposed control the world if gathering places like Kos or Eschaton cause people to actually think indepently, take action (by speaking out and mobilizing)and using reasoned auguments and making informed decisions. My god, where will it all end!!!! How will the wingnutz world survive against such things?
..The Republican Cut and Run Begins..
