Have a good time Charles! You'll be missed!
Cindie
But after Aug. 21. until Labor Day is the slowest time of the year.
Isn't he sweet? Maybe Freepers should take up a collection to buy this guy some Y-chromosomes.
Dang. that stinks.
Have a safe, happy, and rewarding time.
Stay safe and have a great time.
Take care -- Marteen and I will just have to split the bon bons between us...
LOL! For Pitt, debating with a bunch of fanboys about whether Wolverine's claws could scratch Captain America's shield would be "better" than broaching the subject of Hoaxmas.
Well, in the Ultimate universe, maybe. After all, Wolvie's claws and the shield are both made out of adamantium there. But in Univserse 616? Nah. There's it's been shown that only Thor and Thanos have been able to destroy the shield, and Wolvie's not in their weight class. (Nor does his name start with "th", which is another important requirement.)
My brain remembers this stuff, yet I can't remember my own phone number...
They hate us...no they really REALLY hate us.
Is it something we said?
Smirk.

Sheesh! First he gives up FR for Lent, and now this!
Yesterday, on one of the threads that was discussing our murdered soldiers, one of the DUmmies had addressed a post to "Lurking Freepers". The post essentially blamed us for what happened to these soldiers, said we had blood on our hands, and said we would roast in Hell. Hey, wait a minute -- I thought DUmmies didn't believe in Hell!
Yeah, they hate us. They really do.
Ha! I like the last one so far:
"I think that everyone
in every town, city or berg should get their phone book out and make at least one hour of calls each evening......starting with the "A's"
Hi, I'm so and so and I'm calling to find out if you voted in the last Presidential election". If they did ask them...."do you mind telling me who you voted for?"
If they voted for Bush.......yell into the phone.....you Fucking Idiot Traitor! The country is going down the tubes and it's all your fault for being stupid. You should never be allowed within 200 yards of a ballot booth again in life."
Then hang up
Sometimes I have these little fantasies"
You'll be missed. Prayers up for safe travel.
Who would have thought that simply asking customers to use the language spoken and understood by the vendor when ordering food would be such an intolerable politically INcorrect faux pas that it would make headlines all over the U.S.?
"Still no explosion in the MSM..." Nor in other lib blogs. Gee, I wonder why?
Check out kausfiles.com. "KOS-olafest" by Mickey Kaus. Corruption Doesn't Require Illegality"
"I say you don't have to have illegality to have corruption and this situation (the Kos/Armstrong pay to play) reeks of corruption." Mickey Kaus
Over at captainsquartersblog.com the Captain has Big News that could go under the title, "Who Are the Gate- Keepers Now?"
Markos sent requests to a list of "elite liberal bloggers" asking that they, in effect, stand down on the story of him and Armstrong and the flow of political cash to Kos.
Captain Ed provides a link to Jason Zingerle's article in The Plank, "The Bogosphere's Smoke-Filled Backroom."
Zingerele reprints Kos's letter asking his fellow lib bloggers to keep silent about his (Kos's)and Armstrong's "sitation."
Here's the last paragraph, "My request to you guys is that you ignore this for now. It would make my life easier if we can confine the story. Then, once Jerome [Armstrong] can speak and defend himself, then I'll go on the offensive (which is when I would file any lawsuits) and anyone can pile on. If any of us blog on this right now, we fuel the story. Let's starve it of oxygen. And withouth the "he said, she said" element to the story, you know, political journalists are paralyzed into inaction. Thanks, Markos."
Zingerele adds, "So far, Kos's friends in the fiercely independent blogosphere seem to have displayed a sheep-like obedience to his dictat."
Kos's letter is a gem. His "I'm exploring the possibility of lawsuits," is hilarious since the two conservative bloggers he attacks for bringing up "pay for play" on Kos, are Glen Reynolds at Instapundit.com, and John Hindraker at Powerlineblog.com, both highly regarded lawyers.

I was truly surprised Drudge or Rush didn't pick up on this. The entire story could easily be their undoing.
/PJ - Captain's Quarters has email of Markos asking other lefty blogs to play hush hush over all this. Follows:

"The YearlyKos media people have already forced corrections at Slate and NY Times (Suellentrop's blog). There has been some serious overreach by the few outlets that picked up this story (which as I mentioned before has been shopped around). It was interesting how this one piddly-ass story was used to try and smear Jerome, me, AND YearlyKos.
So the only paper to run this as a news story is the disgraceful NY Post. Others who picked up on it have had to backtrack from their original sensationalistic claims.
I am exploring legal options against some of the wingnut bloggers who are claiming I'm syphoning netroots money into consultants and my own pockets. Note how Glenn Reynolds is fueling it with his typical passive aggressive, "I don't think it's a big deal, but let me provide links to everyone who thinks this is THE BIGGEST STORY EVER!"
And Jerome's case, if it could be aired out, is a non-story (he was a poor grad student at the time so he settled because he had no money). Jerome can't talk about it now since the case is not fully closed. But once it is, he'll go on the offensive. That should be a couple of months off.
This story will percolate in wingnut circles until then, but I haven't gotten a single serious media call about it yet. Not one. So far, this story isn't making the jump to the traditional media, and we shouldn't do anything to help make that happen.
My request to you guys is that you ignore this for now. It would make my life easier if we can confine the story. Then, once Jerome can speak and defend himself, then I'll go on the offensive (which is when I would file any lawsuits) and anyone can pile on. If any of us blog on this right now, we fuel the story. Let's starve it of oxygen. And without the "he said, she said" element to the story, you know political journalists are paralyzed into inaction.
Thanks, markos"
Man! This whole KOSsack KOmics things is working out great so quickly. Who'd a thunk?!
Wow! I'm feelin' the love!
