    Can't disagree with you there, my friend. Or can I? Anyway, let me know. Anything for you LWM.

    Boodley-oot'n be-bop, doodley woh-woh-woh,

    Bebop spoken here!

    Bebop spoken here!

    What, You guys don't stream KCBS FM on your computer? You is missing out, brothers, and it's not just Jazz, not at all. What would you say if I said: FOUR HOURS HAWAII RADIO on Saturday at noon? Right from the Big Island!

    And much, much more!

    What about our other 800+ bases in 130+ countries around the world? Are those troops coming home as well? Or is Iraq just another Imperial Outpost?

    Probably not. While I thoroughly admire you passionate pacifism, I myself would be happy with stopping the War On Iraq, for a start. Oh, I know, the War On Iraq is a little thing hardly worth bothering about, but humor me, I'm wierd that way.

    Thanks, and I was always sure you meant nothing invidious by the reference. In fact, I would make so bold as to suggest that your "handle" is not really complete without an "&G", for "gentleman". And thus your appelation will reflect the Quartet of Admirabilities you are truly heir to!

    And anyway, the guy lived, he just took a wound which stopped a 1/4 inch from his femoral artery. His gait is, at present, somewhat uneven, but time, the great healer, may do its work there, as it has done with my wife. She now admits that the garbage men, or sanitation workers (more felicitous, don't you think?) will come back and get a late can when they do the other side of the street. But that's the kind of girl she is: magnanimous, to a fault. Probably, just like you!

    You produce excellent dreck. However, doing as you suggest would do nothing to help me out of the complexities alluded to earlier, regarding multiple persons posting under multiple names.

    Horseshit! It will show you, in fact, whether it can be done! Worth knowing, don't you think?

    Of course there always remains the possibility of very expensive phone calls or perhaps, carrier pigeons. You know, they worked very well as late as WW2, but Setti and RMP are the go-to guys on Military History.

    overall foreign policy that helped to enable it is OK because it is basically Obama's foreign policy

    Oh, so Obama's a big Pre-emption guy? I didn't know that! Obama is totally down with the mass detentions without trial and torture which forms the bulwark of our "civil affairs" policy in Iraq. So Obama's foreign policy axiom is going to be: "Bomb and shoot them till they love us and want to be just like us"?

    Whoopee! And I'll bet all the Armed Forces Personnel just can't wait to violate the Geneva Conventions and all the rest with the assurance that MC O-bam-bam hisself has got their backs? Somehow I doubt it.

    You are breaking with the partisan script that most of Salon uses in the comments.

    You don't think Bucky adhering to the script? Wow, you're a tough crowd (like LWM)!

    You have to give a guy a certain latitude for adlibbing and personal variations, and I think Buckyl is well within it.

    That's my take, anyway.

  • @LWM, in a marked manner!

    LWM or if you prefer, L.W.M. (just so there's no confusion) I demand to know how you registered an account under my name and made posts, as Buckyl says.

    As for why you would want to, your own pleasure in degradation is of no interest to me, and I offer no censure for it.

    But how is it done? Or are there lots of people registered as "Derbig Mooser" and we never know who is writing posts under that name? That's a hell of a system?

    Do you want me to try it myself with your name? I'm warning you LWM, don't drive me to that extremity!!!

    No wonder you call yourself a worm! You, too, refuse to give McCain credit for the "wet start" technique which was so instrumental in the fate of naval enlisted men on aircraft carriers!

    Give the man his due!

    OK, OK. You produce crappy dreck.

    Cas, I never had the slightest expectation that the truth would not be immediately recognised by you.

    So I guess I will register as LWM and start writing posts under his name. Or did he write this one.

    I'll say one thing for you Cas. You do live up to your handle. It's a cool quality I've always admired, but never been able to attain, sigh.

    But, as soon as he (Obama) does illegal, immoral, or just pain wrong things; I will be against whatever the item is. I am just that way; to be otherwise one would have to be completely interested only in the self and which 'team' is best for my self. I am not of that nature

    Buckyl, I knew your best self would show eventually, if that is you, cause I just registered under your name! Oh are we gonna have fun! But where was I, oh yes. You just keep your eye on Obama and if he does any of those things, you scream like hell! Your reputation for probity, as exhibited here will make your warnings more than Cassandric or Jeremiriadic, they will be taken seriously, like my posts under your handle! Try and stop me, sucka!

    Thanks for your concern, while I've had some tough ones, this was not too bad, the tooth was halfway out, and broken (or was broken during extraction) But the catch was: the infection apparently makes the novocaine almost ineffective; it took four big ampules, and we never got it more then about %80 numb. But out it came, and the socket and stuff seems to be okay. Yeah I've had some toughies, complete with sectioning the tooth and the use of a crowbar, but this wasn't too bad.
