What, no ping for me? :(

Geez, I just pinged everyone on the thread who I thought might be interested, I didn't go back and research all the old threads. But you found it anyway so all is well. :)

I was kidding, I see how you posted it. Just having a little joke at your expense.

From that Wash. Post article:

Jessica Lynch faced quite the quandary last weekend -- not that it compares with being a POW, by any means -- when she was forced to choose between her boyfriend, Ruben Contreras, and President Bush.
After an impromptu meet-and-greet with Dubya and Mrs. Bush backstage after the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Lynch was invited by press secretary Scott McClellan to see the prez again at the White House on Sunday morning. Alas, the adorable 21-year-old had other plans: She was booked on a predawn flight to make it home in time to celebrate Contreras's 25th birthday. (Awww.)
People magazine's Sandra Sobieraj tells us that Lynch was still struggling with what to do while at the Bloomberg News after-party -- (cue the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go") -- when Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz swooped in and saved the day. Dropping to one knee (Lynch was sitting on a couch), Wolfie assured her: "The president wouldn't want you to miss your boyfriend's birthday. I speak to him all the time and, if no one else gets the message to him, I'll make sure he knows that's why you didn't go see him."
That Wolfowitz, always the diplomat.

Where ya been?

[#3Fan]

Dammit, try again.

Hi cyborg! Veddy, veddy busy. I moved, computer got fried (hack attack from a neoconfederate I'm sure...lol...just kidding), life's been rocking and rolling lately, bit of a lull now though. Glad I was busy, the evil Democrats would've drove me nuts the last three months. The campaign's getting going good now though and it's time to start cheerleading...or cheering, anyway. :^)

[cyborg]

Ah the democrat convention, you didn't miss much.

[#3Fan]

I actually watched some of it. I certainly didn't watch Thursday though. Kerry's voice is like Frankenstein's.

[GOPcapitalist]

Looks like the psycho's back!

Now if only Wlat shows up followed by partisan hacking his book everywhere your theory will be confirmed

[#3Fan]

You guys and your nutty tinfoil theories. What is it this time?

What happened here?

Post #43 on 05/18/2004, then nothing going on in this thread for over 2 months, then post #44 on 07/26/2004 by GOPcapitalist apparently having nothing to do with the subject of the thread...

I think I've just surfed into the

GOPCapitalist follows me from thread to thread (breaking FR guidelines, by the way, of not taking a flame war to other threads) to hound me over his pet issue, as evidenced here.

[jaykay]

Wow, that's... something.
What, I'm not sure.

It was posted as a followup to a discussion elsewhere regarding why a couple of active posters on another ongoing thread had all disappeared from FR almost simultaneously. This thread was one of the "last seen" places we were discussing, so I pinged another to it.
