Hey man! I am missing you over at the other thread. Can you come back and we can keep debating? (I never insulted you right? It would be pleasant! wink!)

Good thing: DvR is maybe a third-tier issue, at most. Republicans like cocaine, Democrats like marijuana, libertarians seem to prefer psilocybin. Big Mac v. Quarter-Pounder.

I was surprised to learn from one of your unfriendly correspondents that I am right-wing. I suppose one wing is better than no wings at all; I admire wings.

This is so cute! The Buckster has a new friend. Matching trolls to create their own little empty headed echo chamber.

*sheesh*

The intelligence level of this group just dropped a few degrees.

Well, at least now Mona doesn't have to feel an obligation to come to the aid of the Buckmeister when he makes one of his inane posts, as demonstrated by his response to DCLaw earlier in this thread today.

Thank you Mona, for hopefully realizing that in the case of Bucky1 I'm not railing against the philosophy but rather the quite obvious deranged individual. For the most part, anyway :-)

And many lawyers know what it is to be cornered at the most inappropriate times and places for free advice. Some years ago I was at a Xmas Party, and a dentist I knew who was also in attendance wanted my advice on some issue he had with his realtor. I'd had a few, and I separated my lips and pointed a finger at a back molar, and garbledly said: "Kud ew 'ook at 'is peez?"

Reminds me of an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David asks a sports doctor at his gym if he'd look at a mole on his back "real quick." The doctor asks him what he does for a living, and Larry says he's a writer. The doctor says, "Great, then how about you write me a bunch of shit right now for free?"

Yes, that is the way it is at this site. If one is not a collectivist then you must be a right wing nut.

I have been called all sorts of lefty names on right wing sites as I have opposed every foreign policy move by the current administration. "It beats all I've ever seen (*)" to be called a 'right-winger' when I can find no war that I can support while the right is out for blood all the time.

Now in a short period of time, the Democrats will have the opportunity to run foreign policy again and I will still be antiwar and against all interventions. Then those here who claim to be against war will be given an opportunist to show that they are really anti-war. I wager many fail, because the next Democratic Party war will be seen as "humanitarian".

I hope you also noticed that it is hard to get people here up in arms over the vast deficit spending, even though the Republicans are guilty as sin. Why, you ask? They have their pet projects also. :-)

With bucky, la commedia non è mai finita.

Inane posts? Then why do you and your coward buddies never answer a direct question or refute anything with logic?

Hell, I'll admit you, LWM, and SomeNYcoward are all masters at insult and ducking a real debate. So what? That makes you a member of a juvenile boy club.

I am think you are LWM; but even if not, you guys never win a debate even 7 on 1, now you whine that you may have to do more than insult the easy shooter242.

A real boy you are.

Since you seem to be fond of the rhetorical question device, here's one for you. If our Senators are aware of such a compelling indication that an attack is imminent, so imminent that it justifies ramming legislation through the Congress with no debate or deliberation, shouldn't this information be shared with the public, and the population be constructively mobilized to head-off the threat?

Obviously you aren't thinking this through or you wouldn't have asked such a dumb question. First off you are assuming that there is some imminent attack rather than considering this is all about prevention and investigations. Don't do that.

Now let's go through all the reasons informing the public is a really bad idea. Assume a plot involving LA is uncovered. Do you announce to LA it's the target of terrorist attack? The result would be panic, fear, shutting down of commerce, fleeing the city, closing the airport, and eventually martial law. Add in vigilante gangs, looting, and crime, and Katrina would look like a walk in the park. You may know the law, but you don't know human nature.

Hey man! I am missing you over at the other thread. Can you come back and we can keep debating? (I never insulted you right? It would be pleasant! wink!)

I thought that was all over when GG started this new post. I'll try to catch up, and answer whatever you wrote in a while. Sorry to ignore you.

I'll forget William's little as hominem crew here for the time being and take a look.

No.

The rest of your response is noise.

No problem.

With much respect.

I try to be a 'big-boy' (no cheese burger) and hang in there will a partial sense of 'What is Happening' the best I know how.

It's a MD on the 9th, and I think W.T. missed out when he was not drafted to sit in the batters box or bull pen for the Cubs?

William, I'll drink a 7- Up @ the eve Fireman Carnival in your name?

I say, "Never go to a law firm if you have a sweet tooth or a itchy cavity!

Mona: Please understand that us non-law-brains, non-policy-brains, get needy for a peanut-butter-celery stick @ the local X-Party!

I have learned, over and over again, to not talk about the Easter bunny @ the Kiwanis Club or Cato Instituter's free luncheon.

I hope Cato's got peanut butter, rye, and blueberry jelly sandwiches.

Glenn's likes a snack!

I promise to bring a sweet berry 'Merlot' if I can sneak it via security.

The bottle is dated 2000. It is sweet. It won a 1st Place Blue ribbon @ the Maryland State Fair that year.

I can take one day @ a time and always usually lose a dime.

I am so happy. I have a plan to borrow cold-cash to buy a pair of pants!

I do not like to eat plastic peanut butter flavored credit cards.

Do they make them in flavors @ 29.9%?

I No be late, if my vehicle no break.

I got to attend a local Fire Carnival.

I refuse a fight @ the Cato luncheon!

I hope cook-caterers no use styrofoam.
