"Glenn does that so we can spot the typos and point them out. It makes it a collabarative effort. If you had just pointed them out you might have been eligible for an award and wonderful gifts and prizes."

The last person to win got a night on the town including dinner with Michelle Malkin and breakfast with Ann Althouse.

Be afraid....very afraid.

"Just so i'm clear on this, are you saying the media treated Newt respectively and with kid gloves during his time as speaker?"

Just so you're clear on that - that's not what he said and you know it.

"Would you be shocked if it turns out that while people may support an opening of the dialogue, they may not want Pelosi to initiate it?

I wouldn't be."

Of course, this poll would be taken after the public has been inundated with bullshit from our "mainstream" punditocracy such as we are witnessing today.

Here's a poll question for you, Sherlock.

What percentage of people in the United States believe it is mere coincidence that the major media (the usual suspects) all seem to have the same topic, presented in the same manner, in today's papers and on today's "news" programs?

Paul -

"Care to write back to ABC and explain to them that St. Thomas is in the US Virgin Islands!"

Ah, but then they would need to travel to Yost Van Dyke and pay a visit to either Harris' Place or Sidney's Peace and Love to verify and round out their story and your paradise would be tarnished by their mere presence.

Oh, how I envy you.

Daily....

"I live in a pretty conservative town and even here we cannot go to the pool without young kids disrespecting adults, cursing like sailors, and displaying inappropriate sexual gestures in front of little children."

How many of those young kids were gay?

...and what percentage of them probably claimed to be Christian?

noticed the outrage being demonstrated by our media mavens over the treatment given those British sailors and marines?

They were blindfolded and told they might be jailed for 7 years...and released in 14 days.

For Christ's sake, THEY WEREN'T EVEN WATERBOARDED!

and yet.....CNN and MSNBC are discussing whether Geneva Conventions have been violated and our own administration is complaining about their treatment.

There's a reason no one respects this country's ideals any more and that reason is that we have none.

"Great point. I'll be sure from now on to count the number of words in the evidence I excerpt and make sure that the analysis I add has a higher number of words, because that's important."

No - don't waste your time counting your own words. Take a lesson from our Great Leader and hire someone who will take the blame for your wretched excesses thus leaving your own legacy untained by your own failures.

What the hell......one can wish anyway.

I still love Mona.

Are we allowed to describe fellow posters (such as this loon) as ignorant dickheads or must we receive permission from the Post Tsar first?

The world wonders....

Should we leave?

Should we stay?

It seems to me that Zinni is saying that we should stay in the Middle East, but not necessarily in Iraq, and certainly not in the mode we are currently operating in there.

As I understand the current proposals, we would NOT abandon the Middle East by withdrawing from Iraq. What we would do, however, is reposition our forces so that they could provide security for whatever forces remained in Iraq in advisory roles, and to provide a deterent to both Syrian and Iranian acts of crossborder agression. (I would personally be more wary of Turkish agression in the area than I would be of either Syrian or Iranian agression).

So yes, Zinni believes we should stay. So do Congressional Democrats.

It's all a matter of what the word "stay" means.

"....Glenn, I hate to say it but Shooter242 ought to be banned from this web site. He's a straight up liar and manages to hijack many threads. Find out his IP and ban his sorry ass."

I disagree. Shooter doesn't hijack any threads, it's the people who react to his moronic wheeze that highjack threads.

If your neighbor owned a dog which shit on the sidewalk, wouldn't you just walk around the piles? Why not just walk around Shooter's piles in the same manner?

Yeah, Shooter.

How in the world can you compare keeping a database of convicted felons or child molesters with keeping a database of people who may have been treated for depression.

What's next? A database consisting of a listing of dimwitted RW trolls just so you'll be able to see your name?

"How long did it take for the gun control folks to weigh in? Minutes?"

Actually, Shooter, your boy, Pantload Reynolds, was bringing the 2nd Amendment connection up before the last body was cold. Is that what you are referring to?

Get thee a dictionary.

I'm thinking, tho, of joining Dave's "Mapping Shari'a in America Project," for the entertainment value.

I'll donate the GPS information on twenty or thirty "Christian" home schools within a 10 mile radius of here if it'll help you establish your credibility.

"But to portray reporters as mindless conduits of White House policies is unfounded." - Mark Knoller (CBS)

"Really, what can one even say about this?" - Glenn Greenwald

One can say with absolute certitude that Mr. Knoller is full of shit....all the way up to his brownnosing Mk2 eyeballs.

Now we know why Politico was founded.

Now let's see who's really funding it.

"In your case, much of your criticism comes from a distinct ideological perspective. That's fine, but surely you must appreciate that not everyone acts with your degree of ideological motivation. In the case of people at Politico, our motivations are simple -- to write interesting and worthwhile stories and to put those stories before largest possible audience."

Horseshit.
