[Read more letters about this article: Here]My personal view is that anyone who reflexively defends the current administration is so far beyond pathological that the light from pathological won't reach them for ten billion years.
When Proxy or Shooter or Elehump or NOB or whoever show up, just ask them to explain to the readers how their conservative philosophy has led them to riches, respect, and more pussy than a guy in a women's prison with a fistful of pardons gets.
With examples from their life.
That, more than anything else, will chase them away pronto.
I guess they aren't willing to part with their secrets. Either that, or maybe when a person reaches the pinnacle of personal accomplishment the only thing he wants to do is sit around and write pissy comments to Glenn Greenwald. That must be it. I'm sure he's writing them in a nicer room and on a better computer than us.

Man, don't write stuff like that. I nearly had a syncope; and that's worse then the heebie-jeebies. Tonight, in between the nightmares and the cold-sweats, when I have the hot flashes, that broiler will be all I can think about.

Try and stop us, big guy, try and stop us. And BTW, why shouldn't we?

RIP Mom Mooser

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"heir to the Mooser fortune."
I already inherited, unfortunately, after Mom passed away. An awful price to pay, but that's the way it goes.
And I can't help it if my name is funny. Google it, and you'll find that it is not as unusual as even I thought.
Perhaps in the future Proxy and Shooter will tell us more about themselves. Without a doubt, their philosophy has brought them riches and respect.

The Last word

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'll never forget it. My Dad looked up from his workbench, where he was mending a pair of boots, and said: "Son, someday this awl will be yours!"

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't know how you know these things, but you are right again. I do have a horror of not being properly dressed in front of my pets. All it takes is one frayed shirt-cuff, and they lose all respect. If my socks didn't match my shirt, mutiny would be the inevitable result.
Ahh, pet ownership. The last bastion of good 'ol late-stage British style imperialism, for sure. Many people wonder how only two humans can dominate and control three cats and a dog. Well, style and swagger isn't everything, but it helps, dash it! That, and a whole lot of sang-froid, a certain amount of je nes sais quas, espieglerie, an occasional bon mot and a mot juste

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thoughts? Is this viable? Is it crap? Has it been covered to death already?
Matt, you're in good company! Megan McArdle and Dan Drezner feel the same way!
Try reading the post just below this one; "Responsibility for the last seven years" and you'll see.

Again, with Sincere Apologies...
[Read the article: More on Michael Mukasey's false 9/11 and FISA claims]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...for beating this drum all the time.
So, Obama can't even conduct himself manfully in a diner (according to our pundits) but Obama is the one, if elected, who will be given all the Executive Powers Bush was given to conduct the War On Iraq.
So let me (sorry) say it once more: The day Obama is elected, all the Repubs will exchange their flag lapel-pins for "peace" signs, grow their hair (or buy a longer toupee) and become obsessed with torture and detainee treatment. The day Obama is elected will be the day that "the US has done all it can" and the day "we should stop wasting any more lives or money" in Iraq and go home.
No Republican will let Obama find the pony. It's out of the question. The minute Obama is elected he will be "killing our boys" by keeping them in Iraq "one more day".
Nothing scares them (the Repubs) more than the idea that after six years of the War on Iraq, Obama might find the way out, or even a victory of sorts. They will not let that happen. The War on Iraq is a Republican property, their patented device to bash Democrats with. They are not gonna let a Dem have it to bash them with.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sorry, I will hit preview (and do so) in the future
You know, Annie, if it's between getting your post up while the iron is hot, and waiting to preview for every little mistake, go ahead and post. Generally, the typos are easy to read past, and the meaning of the post remains clear. Things move fast, and I'd rather read a post that's timely (per the discussion) and might have a typo or two, than a word-perfect post that is pages away from the rest of the discussion.
And then, if you read your post and find there is a typo which seriously interferes with the meaning, you can shoot us a correction.
I think the typos (such few as there are) are less important then the timeliness.

It's Perfect!

There you have it, a perfect parable for the relationship between Zionism and Judaism.

My Little Helpmate.
[Read the article: More on Michael Mukasey's false 9/11 and FISA claims]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]BTW, I must repeat a question my wife formulated the other day, probably in response to some inane rambling of mine:
"Tell me, what is it God can do for the Jews in Israel that He can't do for them anywhere else, and what is it the Jews can do for God in Israel that they can't do for Him anywhere else?"
Women! Always with the questions, of course I answered her: Listen, my little baleboosteh, az di bobe volt gehat beytsim volt zi geven mayn zeyde! but she wants a better answer.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]posts like the last bring a level of crassness to these pages that make us all look like feces-throwing chimps
Wow, it's like so can see right back through my computer! Spooky!
