FDL!! |
|
Congratulations to you guys! If anybody's been deserving of an award this year, it's you. |
|
Hey, I'm one-sixth of the posters at Shakespeare's Sister! That means I actually sort of won something! |
|
Tom Delay DROPS OUT of 2006 Race |
|
heck, the best blog community is here, IMHO |
|
Yeah Congrats... |
|
CNN is also reporting the Tom Delay quitting story. Tom is having a conference call with the Texas delegation. |
|
I must admit I's sad Delay has dropped out. I would have loved to have seen him lose. |
|
Good work and congrats |
|
Sorry if there was some comment disappearance, I accidentally posted under the wrong account and had to re-post. Several comments disappeared along with it, my mistake. And apologies. |
|
OK, I posted on this thread, where did it go? |
|
delay quits, the grrls of fld win a Kfx, and EoS is also a winner? |
|
A well deserved honor. |
|
Kudos to FDL. You women RULE! |
|
Ask and you shall be answered -- EVEN BEFORE YOU ASK! |
|
Jane and Christy! Hip Hip Hooray! and it's so nice to see a fair election! |
|
Congratulations! We already knew this, but now everyone see the FDL team is a force to be reckoned with. |
|

|
TOM DELAY DROPS OUT OF THE RACE??!! |
|
Wow, I got here just about the same time Christy did. Wish it had been sooner, for sure. Next year we will be offering congratulations for more awards. |
|
As I suspected... Kobe got to the keyboard. Congrats Jane and Redd. |
|
I just got word that there's a slot on the YKos media team for me - so I'm psyched as well - get to help with media work for such a cool event and get to meet so many friends from here - add in Koufax for the deserving and retirement for the delay - what a good evening. |
|
Congrats, and thanks to you both (and all the commenters as well) for giving me this place! |
|
Winning a Koufax for Plame... I guess you feel like Peter Jackson might have if he'd won for the first hobbit movie. |

Congratulations, and well deserved, Jane and Redd! |
|
Very cool and congratulations! |
|
Some police spokesman was on local tv news in Gainesville urging people not to set cars on fire if Florida wins the national championship. The implication, apparently, is that it would be ok to do that if they lose. |
|
Hooray to FDL for your much-deserved Koufax award for your Plame series! |
|
Congrats, Jane! And Digby, he's well, so damn good! I try and fumble around and I'm still looking for my legs. I'm so glad to have found FDL, GG, Digby and the rest. WE have to fire up the base! It's a cinch that Schumer and Pelosi won't. Remember, they are analists (sic?) |
|
Great news on two fronts; FDL winning the Koufax, and that smug bastard quitting. |
|
Congratulations! Yeah. |
|
Thanks VG - it's so cool to get to use what I do to help all of this ... just feels good. I've learned that events are more fun when you volunteer to help out - I'm sure they need more helpers for all sorts of things so if folks can, it the Ykos site and sign up. |
|
Okay, so we have the DeLay good news, but here's a little piece that is just a big old BWAHAHAHAHA. Apparently Jack Straw had a little slip up in a recent intro: |
|
Congratulations, you women rock!!! |
|
Delay out. Wow. Of course I immediately start to calculate whether it would have been better for him to stay in for a while longer. I'm never satisfied. |
|
Congratulations to FDL and all the Hamsher and ReddHedd minions. |
|
Congrats. I can't believe things I voted for actually won--I am in Florida, after all. That doesn't usually happen here. |
|
Senator Wants to Tap Controversial General |
|
Can we now get posters of the two of you together...I want one for each of my college student daughters. |
|
This would be funny, except that it's NOT fucking funny. |

Congrats Jane and Redd, you thoroughly deserve the award. Congrats to all the other winners too. Much love to all of you! |
|
siun -- that's great, you're going to have a lot of fun, the YK people are very cool. |
|
Here's what toppled Tom: |
|
Boykin is the "Muslims worship a false God" dude. A complete fundie asshole who shows up at Falwell-ista churches in full fruit salad uniform to shill as a Bush Warrior For Jeeeezus. |
|
I figure Delay realized, with Fitz winding up his work, it was only a matter of time before FDL would take on full-bore the blasphemy that Christ couldn't handle the "feverswamp". |
|
Announcement: For the next post we're going to try switching over to WordPress comments and see if it works out. |
|
Siun, what great news! I remember you said it would be easier for you to go if you could be a pro there, so yay. I can't wait to meet everyone. A funny note: I told my 21 year old about the trip and his response was, "How can I go to Vegas with my M O T H E R?" I had to twist his arm to admit, yet again, that I am a much cooler mother than most. Little twerp. |
|
I just got back from a poorly spent hour trolling through the dregs of the latest lgf "Little Lady Sambo" post and I can't tell you how 'clean' the organic energy of FDL and it's commenting community feels. A Koufax to each and every one of you! |

Congratulations Jane and Christy! The Plame scandal brought me to FDL in the first place, and I have seen some amazing threads since. |

|
BTW, Time has more info on DeLay. |
|
Tom is really out? Good news, but after Padilla and House resol on NSA, still a loser day for me, but luckily there's yin to balance the yang -- CONGRATS - FDL, Siun, T-Rex, and anyone missed. |
|
Gentleman Jim, I know a lot about NOLA. My wife is Director of Quality for Shaw. |
|
siun, a few threads ago you asked me if we first "met" on Billmon's thread. |
|
Congratulations for outstanding work, perserverance and developement of FDL. When I came over here from Huffington Post in Oct. I didn't know what a blog was and had been a quiet watcher. Kinda happy to chip in here in there. Thanks for your kind tolerance. |
|
Jane, are you going to try making the WP comments popups this time to take the pressure off the whole page having to refresh? |
|
Congrats ladies! |
|

|
Tom Delay (R-Abramoff) is history? Yay!! |
|
Thanks for the heads-up re WordPress. Fingers and toes crossed. |
|
Echidne of the snakes |
|
moi -- yes I have a major crush on Digby too. |
|
Thanks Jane - I'll keep a special eye out for our FDL crew! and we all get to party in Vegas together! |
|
Bush is probably gonna pull the plug. No one is gonna write any new insurance coverage. NO ONE. Absent that, no one will re-build. Bush ain't about to force 'em to, or step into the breach |
|
cleter - |
|
so Delay is also planning to quit Congress at the end of May ... |
|
I always reserve the right to freak out. I just don't do it often. |
|
something weird is happening-- I had posted several times and the entire comments section looks very different from the one I just left......... |
|
Congratulations to FDL and to Jane and Christy. Great work. Great group of people. |
|
Susan - I thought you looked familiar! I'm still over at Speakeasy occasionally and Okie is cranking it up again so drop by ... we're seeing it as our hideaway where we can talk non-pols in a quiet corner. |
|
Well, i a way I'm sorry it was not Armando. I really wanted to talk shit to him about his fucking Yankees. Tweak him the way Gilliard so aptly did. |
|
Tom Delay (R-Abramoff) is history? Yay!! |
|
Same here. It seems that a whole new haloscan thread started and ate up the posts that we originally put up. |
|
Hoo boy, I got stuck in the parallel thread universe, but managed to get out dragging this comment for Paul Lukasiak: |
|
BobbyG | Homepage | 04.03.06 - 7:57 pm OH OH- better go back and correct that one or you're gonna be accused of being racist... luckily I'm around to defend you, at least for another 15 mins or so....;) |

Time to buy FDL shirts so we can wear them in Vegas and find one another. Gotta have the right duds on for the party! |

Finally figured out on my own why these are called the Koufax awards...is it because he was a "lefty?" |
|
wonder if Delay, Scooter and Rove are coordinating their wardrobes too? |
|

BobbyG - I can't be there, but I expect to hear from you through all the laptops also in attendance. Hopefully the wifi reception will be very good inside the hotel. |

|
Bobby, I'll tell him. The idea of a huge arcade in the hotel helped along with the casino. |
|
Thanks for the warning about the comments. |

We do a lot of important work here in Louisiana: oil and gas exploration, refining, seafood production (most of the crabs sold in Maryland are actually from Louisiana) (many of them are out of business at the moment) We have given our fair share of oil and gas revenues that have contributed to the depletion of our marshes which would have partly protected us from Katrina |
|
We have paid our taxes to help pay for rebuilding New York and Iraq. There is no conceivable reason not to rebuild New Orleans. |
|
Bobby G Hug ((((((*!*)))))) back at ya. |
|
Can anyone help me with Haloscan even though it may be moot soon. I keep getting the "too many breaks" message even after I remove all the breaks. |
|
And Bobby G- hot looking grandkid. He must be a delight to you!!! |
|
Congratulations to all on the Koufax awards and very much deserved for the fantastic job yall do. |
