Dang it, Mike! Quit being so diplomatic to those who don't deserve it. Tell it like it really is.
He's not on his jock. He's all on his nutsack.

LOL.
"If I were trying to "promote myself," there are far more lucrative vehicles that I have at my disposal."
Sure you are......in terms of general public familiarity, you Armstrongs lesser. He is well-known and well liked. The thorn you are becoming in his side will backfire at you.
I wish you well in your effort that is going to harm you and ultimately assist Armstrong. He didn't need YOUR blessing to get where he is......and he sure doesn't need it now, either. Get off his back, man, in the long run it will only harm you.
btw, "promoting" ones self is rarely in and of itself lucrative......(something about a chicken and egg there, too, LOL. Bon chance! thrice, even)
What part of 'I don't care' do you have problems understanding?
I've written more than this prior to now, and will do so long in the future.
To hear you tell it, I don't have quarter to criticize anyone.
Tough.
And if anyone's on anyone's back, it appears that you are the one riding his jock. That's your prerogative. Enjoy.
Ever feel like the universe is just teasing you?
Interesting. I consider this a technicality, since he was a supporter of NCLB anyway. (I disagree with him, since Federal involvement in education is unconstitutional.)
I think his "apology" is sincere, and the situation doesn't affect my opinion of him - especially since I thought he was wrong on this topic to start with. Of all the nationally-syndicated Black Conservative writers, I think Armstrong Williams displays the most spiritual depth.
Uh huh, humiliating government propagandists is the END OF FREE SPEECH??? Yeah, sure, whatever.
You apperently didn't read my comments. Advertizing is making an honest living. There are laws against domestic propaganda for a reason. Even the legally sanctioned propagandsists deserve to be spat on and humiliated. Was Tommy Thomspon right to LIE about one of the anthrax victims "was a hunter," "drank from a stream?" No, he is a lying sack of excrement, and deserves every bit of derision heaped on him.
And contrary to your bleatings, dissention is not the sign of someone trying to use him as a ladder.
I'm not trying to be "better than" Williams or "worse than" anyone else.
I'm trying to be who I am, and to be the most honest person I can be.
But given that you consider honest dissention and criticism to be a jerk, there's obviously not any honest or open conversation with you.
No great loss there.
I would appreciate if you cease with the personal insults and direct your conversation elsewhere.
I'm going to presume that you are not attempting to troll for a response.
Excellent oped, and you are totally right here!
Thanks for the post and the ping.
piss off
You're a cheap opportunist, bashing Armstrong excessively for a petty technical oversight as though it was malfeasance. Fortunately, your misguided pointed pronouncements don't carry much weight, WHICH IS PRECISELY WHAT AILS YOU AND IRKS YOU.
Carry on, chump.....in a week or two, you will realize your tactical error.
Dang it, Mike! Quit being so diplomatic to those who don't deserve it. Tell it like it really is.
He's not on his jock. He's all on his nutsack.
I have asked you politely not to discuss this with me any more, and not to personally insult me any longer.
Now I'm going to be more formal.
Do not message me any more. Period.
I am copying TPTB to formally indicate my wishes.
I have no desire to converse with you.
Good bye.
Diplomatic is so much more fun! [g]
You need to learn some class.
Your sorry attitude isn't welcome here. I think you'd fit in a little bit better over at DU.
What say you, kitties?
