"Old bucky1"
Thanks for the admission lwm ...

"Old bucky1" - aka, the guy who likes to refer to himself in the third person for some reason - is so easy to please. Just tell "Old bucky1" what he wants to here - even if it is obviously in jest - and "Old bucky1" becomes positively orgasmic over it.

Ah, the cabal strikes back!
Kitt seems to be offended by my grammer choices; even though his prose is not without problems.

He also seems to hate a simple thank you to the wanker when he lays it on the table as he does every once in a while. Hell, he hates antiwar.com and has tryed to smear Justin Raimondo often. Now that Justin has declared for Obama I am sure the little wanker man will hit the roof. lwm acts like Atwater risen from the grave; I notice you do not repudiate that fact. Has anyone ever seen LWM and Rove in the same room at the same time? Hmmmm?
Timberman, another of yours attempts to warm your heart today. Congrats. (will we hear from the other three; or all they all lwm sock-puppets?)

Heh... Smear Raimondo?
Hillary the hawk shrieks, and strikes – but, on second thought, she's more like a shrike, a fierce bird that seems to take a perverse pleasure in impaling its victims on thorns, perhaps as a display to frighten its enemies. Our Democratic war-birds have always ruled the party's nest, and the Clintons won't hesitate to push Obama and his supporters to the forest floor, if they have to.

Poor old bucket... No wonder he's deranged.
The Smearbund strikes, umm, shrikes!
Gene Callahan Joins The Smearbund
(Smearbund - I just can’t get enough of that word lately. That’s why I read Lew’s blog.)
A writer from Lew Rockwell’s stable finally (!) breaks ranks. Gene Callahan has had enough...

Grammar?
What does referring to yourself in the third person have to do with grammar? I just see it as freaking weird. Some sports "stars" use that 'third person' thing. It just comes off as nutzoid. Whatayaknow about that, grammar champ?
And, no, I don't "hate" it that you get all uppity over Ron Pauliac's posts, I just find your orgasmic response to it to be also freaking weird. Being freaking weird is your MO.

He means well

And now from the EFF: Yet another whistleblower steps forward.
New Telecom Whistleblower Describes Open Surveillance Gateway
Trio of Commerce Chairmen Call for Further Investigation Based on Latest Spying Allegations
Washington D.C. - Three powerful House Commerce Committee
Chairmen strongly urged their colleagues Thursday to defer
acting on requests for retroactive immunity and to demand
more information from the White House and the
telecommunications companies in the wake of disclosures by
another whistleblower that the government apparently has
been granted an open gateway to customer information and
calls by a major telecommunications company.
Babak Pasdar, a computer security consultant, has gone
public about his discovery of a mysterious "Quantico
Circuit" while working for an unnamed major wireless
carrier. Pasdar believes that this circuit gives the U.S.
government direct, unfettered access to customers' voice
calls and data packets. These claims echo the disclosures
from retired AT&T technician Mark Klein, who has described
a "secret room" in an AT&T facility.
The White House is putting heavy pressure on lawmakers to
grant the telecoms immunity from lawsuits over the spying
as part of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)
legislation pending in Congress. But in today's letter --
written by John Dingell, Chairman of the House Committee on
Energy and Commerce; Ed Markey, Chairman of the House
Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet; and
Bart Stupak, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and
Investigations -- the congressmen argue that lawmakers must
not "vote in the dark" on the immunity issue when "profound
privacy and security risks" are involved.
"When you put Mr. Pasdar's information together with that
of AT&T whistleblower Mark Klein, there is troubling
evidence of telecom misconduct in massive domestic
surveillance of ordinary Americans," said Cindy Cohn, Legal
Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
"Congress needs to have hearings and get some answers about
whether American telecommunications companies are helping
the government to illegally spy on millions of us.
Retroactive immunity for telecom companies now ought to be
off the table in the ongoing FISA debate."
EFF represents the plaintiffs in Hepting v. AT&T, a
class-action lawsuit brought by AT&T customers accusing the
telecommunications company of violating their rights by
illegally assisting the National Security Agency in
widespread domestic surveillance. The Hepting case is just
one of many suits aimed at holding telecoms responsible for
knowingly violating federal privacy laws with warrantless
wiretapping and the illegal transfer of vast amounts of
personal data to the government.

And what will happen is anyone's guess... Giving AT&T, et all immunity seems like a mistake until we find out how deep the hole goes, and it appears that it's very deep and very wide...
If only the Mafia had such powerful friends...

CORRECTED And now from the EFF: Another whistleblower steps forward...
Hopefully this one won't explode...
