Gunpowder plot explodes in Madison
Kronosphere ^ | 03/10/11 | Nicholas Kronos

Posted on 03/10/2011 4:01:58 PM PST by nkronos

Make no mistake that the events of the past few weeks in Madison, Wisconsin will go down in the history books alongside such precursors to great upheavals as the Boston Massacre and Harpers Ferry. Only five weeks after Jared Loughner’s shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others elicited calls for a new civility in American politics, Wisconsin’s Democratic state senators fled Madison, lighting a fuse that now threatens old greasy rags accumulated for decades in the garages, basements, and tool sheds of American civics and government.

Rather than work within the procedural rules of Wisconsin’s elected body, these senators sought by their extraordinary action to block a vote on Governor Walker’s “budget-repair” bill, and, in their words, call attention to the measure. For a while they succeeded in the former; they succeeded in the latter more than they dared to dream.

Quite a few posts and no reply from the “blogger”/author. And this is why they get well deserved grief. Makes one wonder if they even check back, don’t it?

The pimp has been Zotted.

It was but a minor pimp.

Efforts continue.

I made the mistake of allowing a “friend” to use my pc. That person is now on my eternal sh*tlist.

I don't know about rude but pimps worldwide do not appreciate Pimpbuster involvement.

More is the pity.

Of course it would, but that is half the fun, ain’t it? Zotted already? Dang, Quicksgun!

Oh, Snap!

A different pimp was Zotted!

This one isn’t on the Zot list until Saturday.

Pay attention and carry on.

Oops. You’re a little late. Sorry. We will have to ask HG to make more. And this time he shouldn’t make such a small amount. He needs to grill like 50 pounds of meat or something this time.... ;-)

Yeah, checked out his profile page. He might not be “gone”, but he sure ain’t here. Must not be interested in our intellectual opinions.

That is a well written blog.

Do you mean the adware, the spyware or the malware?

Perhaps the content which was "too adult" to be posted here was good? What kind of porn was on this blog you thought was well written?

Obviously some aspect of this blog was objectionable
and prevented the posting of the full content.

Calling Michael Moore the ‘gelatinous Michael Moore’ was worth the price of admission.

I wholeheartedly agree!

I was refering to the article, I didn’t go trolling for any “porn” attached.

Ummm...the time of your comment is 7:45. My post was at 7:01. I wouldn’t have time to write anything if I maintained that much vigilance about comments. Also, of the 22 comments previous to yours, maybe four were addressed to me re the contents of my post. Responding to substantive comments would be easier were they not lost amongst all the carping about linking to a blog on that part of Free Republic specifically listed as “Bloggers & Personal.”
