[Read more letters about this article: Here](Sully) Must've been how my buddy found it, passed it on. He knows I'd rag on him for reading Sully, so he didn't attribute. I guess even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.
We are well down the rabbit hole.

'morning everybody.
[Read the article: Anonymous Liberal for Glenn Greenwald: Giuliani on torture]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bebop, et al. nice to see you.
How long until Leahy caves on his "I won't vote for Mukasey until he admits waterboarding is torture" position? Anyone?
-
Just to be clear...
[Read the article: Anonymous Liberal for Glenn Greenwald: Giuliani on torture]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...lest I be scolded as a nattering nabob of negativity - I'm quite certain he (Leahy) will surprise me this time.

I confess.
[Read the article: Fred Hiatt's concern over "costly litigation" for AT&T and Verizon]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I've fervently wished GG would get rid of Sharter24%. But after today's bit of LOL inanity, I see the value in keeping it around.
Comic relief? Or daily examples of RWA (forgive me for using the term) "thought"? Take your pick.

But it's a rare 70 (as opposed to 95) degree day, nice winds, so I'm off to fly a kite w/ my son.
Someday I'd like to help you stack some wood. You supply the Leffe Blonde?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Perhaps you could send the msg. around to the people RMP mentions in the interests of verifying its authenticity?
In any case, you've clearly gotten under somebody's skin. Be careful w/ this.

[Somebody] did a study...
[Read the article: Abject stupidity defined]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I believe it had to do with the ability to recognize improper grammar. Fundamentally, people who are abject nitwits are incapable of recognizing that they're abject nitwits. Why? Because they're abject nitwits, that's why! Apparently one of the defining characteristics of glaring stupidity is an inability to recognize same...
The concept is widely applicable once you recognize it.

[Read the article: Follow-up on the Col. Steven Boylan e-mail exchange]

Beauchamp was being blocked, not doing the blocking.

You miss one of NPod's main points

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thanks for playin' defense for me whilst I was temporarily indisposed. If Mr. Neill had stuck w/ assh*le, he might've had an arguable point. But, racist Zionist? And, SUGARMAN!? Them's fightin' words...

[Read the article: Jay Rockefeller channels Dick Cheney's fear-mongering to urge telecom amnesty]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But can anyone explain exactly WHY Rocky is always referred to in such hushed and hallowed tones, befitting his patrician mantle of Seriousness and Stature? I'm so sick of his b.s. it makes me want to throw up.
And GG, I implore you to act accordingly in light of yesterday's thread.

[Read the article: Col. Boylan's implosion accelerates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What's with the snide remark?
Y'know I laugh everytime Shrter24% pipes up nowadays. Brings to mind a term some wag coined about the "Dread Pundit". Not ALWAYS true about every remark it makes, but "true enough".
"Self-pwn3d".

Interaction w/ Sharter24% = self-pwnage
[Read the article: Col. Boylan's implosion accelerates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Man, you nailed it!
The other comment seemed a bit out of character for you. Not that I monitor everybody all that closely, but you do tend to gather general impressions if you visit here often enough. No harm, no foul, I hope.

Untangling my own thread.
[Read the article: Col. Boylan's implosion accelerates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]PDA taught me something yesterday, and I just realized it has even wider (perhaps Universal) applicablity.
I was almost tempted to comment in response to a recent remark. The willful obtuseness (is that a word?)involved in the deliberate misstatement of the point of GG's post, the use of inane strawmen, the calculated attempts to generate an emotional (vs. rational) response through the use of emotionally "loaded" phraseology... And then it stuck me.
Interaction with [TROLLS] = self-pwnage.

Political hackery abounds.
[Read the article: Petraeus named second most influential "conservative"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And on the "liberal" side, Billary and Nancy P. crack the top 5. Shows to go how far the world has canted rightward? I realize it's a conservative U.K. newspaper, but, Jeez.
I can already hear the wingers chattering about how GG wants to deprive the military of the First Amendment Freedoms they're fightin' for.
