Tim ; you make a good parrot in here for Glenn;

And I'm red, green, orange and yellow, too!

I guess you're "Thrasher," which was before my time. Still, I have to say, there's not much thrashing here/there/anywhere. You haven't stoked my fire, but I acknowledge the effort. Which is why I'm responding to you.

lol,lol,lol.

For Christ's Sake

Amerigo, (and I mean that literally--[but not the Amerigo part]), when did I ever say being able to marry a person of the same sex is the most important thing in the world to [me]?

I did not.

So what does your why not go somewhere where you can make your dream come true. And move back to the US for a quickie divorce, if need be comment mean?

I think you should come out (!) and say, "Hey, gay marriage is a lot of bamboozling nonsense and I hate the thought of it!"

That way, we can stop dancing around the issue. Which is what I think you're doing.

Oh,

hawkpsd (I think that's it) will have a field day with this.

(I wish you had a simpler name--why must these things always be so complicated?!): Then conservatives will have even LESS reason to complain. They won't be able to cry that they've been ignored, because Obama will have given them a full platform to make their case!

Magic, yes.

These assholes won't stop complaining, ever. Of course, this might be snark. I which case, let me say, these assholes won't stop complaining, ever.

Xrandudu (Good Lord!)

It's so good of you to defend Greenwald, since as we all know he can't defend himself (sarcasm).

Sarcasm?! No!

Here?

At UT?

Good Christ, to think that GBT and I missed all this.

Wait, I'm not white.

Oh boy, I'm being tag-teamed by the twinkie twins who don't actually have anything to contribute to the discussion.

I'd contribute more but your screen name gets in the way.

Okay, here's something: How quickly we ascend the throne. Xrandadu is today's DaveL.

And that's from Ondelette!

Now let me cite bebop-o and say, "ay, will be silent."

Stop all of the whining [] Will you people give it a rest please!!! What planet were you on when this man was running for office. I voted for him and I will support him because I love who he is as a person. He is comfortable in his own skin, pragmatic, even tempered, highly intelligent and I believe genuinely has the sense that public service is for the common good and not for his own personal gain..

For God's sake, stop the melodrama and give it a rest. You don't like disputation, then go away. What's so hard about that? But you "love who he is as a person." Well, good, I suppose. What is it you're looking for? A political leader or a savior? I'm serious here.

bamage: good point when can we expect Glenn to purge your posts? makes sense to me...lol,lol,lol

Right after he deletes mine (but after yours).

You know, I'm sitting here laughing out loud. I wish there was an acronym for that.

Any punk with a keyboard can make marks in here. But if they don't have anything to say, suggest it's best to ignore them.

I try, really, but I'm of a mind like that of Baldie: My New Year's Resolution--To stop whinning.

But, okay. I won't respond to GBT anymore (you're right about that).

Lord, I'm not sure how many promises I've made here about being good.

That's how you see the dynamic on this blog? In your dreams, perhaps. Sorry, but this is how it really works: Glenn calls some well-known person an idiot or accuses him or her of being evil and all Glenn's acolytes tell him how right he is and how smart he is and how that bad person is really really bad. If a commenter has the audacity to dissent, Glenn attacks the commenter as "blind" or "stupid" and all his critters join in like a high-school lunchroom mob.

Oh, you're just sore from yesterday. Not to worry, the PTA conference is tonight and my Dad will tell your Dad that it was just all in fun.

Say, your Dad doesn't have a big vocabulary, does he? I'd hate for my Dad to be beat up by mere words alone.

You, my friend, are an unctuous idiot.

That's true, but I'll still let you spank me for passing notes to my fellows (please let wbgonne be a woman!).

That's Very Good

Jebbie, but my question is, which of the three is shooter (the real, the fantasized or the young guy)?
