  • Misspeeled Suster. I don't wish her t be angry at me...

    Proper spelling: Litter Sutler.

    She use to 'fetch' my hooligan hoop and was a caddy at Turf Valley Country Club. Her real name is Kathy. Kathy studied esoteric studies after a career as a Scientist. Now she is a chaplain for hospice. She buries people for a living. She reads here. Kathy said she preys for Glenn and readers. I hope her petitions helps somebody. She prays for Goldfarb? I hope somebody does.

    Kathy? Please have amnesty on me. OT. Ignore. I implore.

  • re: Does that smoking hole in your foot hurt?

    Oh I see.... you must think then that Bork isn't entitled to the current rule of law for some reason. Why is that? Are you making access to the law off limits to some on the basis of their thoughts? Tsk. Tsk.

    And gosh darn if some liberals don't just love seeing others in pain. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

  • @ 2:42, Ed Richter's Clap, clap, clap quote was perceived as marvelous?

    For the clap?

    Moxifloxacin.

    It heals clap?

    I've got Rx#.

    O, 14-Tabs.

    4-2-weeks?

    Share? 242?

  • Sure you want to go there, shooter242?

    And gosh darn if some liberals don't just love seeing others in pain. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

    'Liberals' aren't the ones arguing for progroms against the Middle East and muslims the world over.

    'Liberals' aren't the ones calling for occupying Iraq for another century, ensuring more death of both US and Iraqi citizens.

    You are.

    Gosh darn if you don't just love seeing meaningless death and destruction. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

  • re: stereotypes

    Sad that so many who also love the game happen to be cigar chomping "conservative" nut bags. Much like their political icons and heroes they have very little respect for tradition, fair play, honor among competitors, and those pesky pesky rules whether they be USGA, the Constitution, or FISA. -- rrheard

    Oh ho. You must be the dreaded links lawyer, a skinny little guy who enjoys making other people's lives less lovely by way of becoming the unelected sheriff of divots, impediments, and obstructions. Much like the bureaucrats that inhibited the flying lesson and laptop information pre 9/11.

  • @ 5:51 Iokannan in The Well. Since everybody else has a hangnail from too much booze... 'um snooze.

    You are right. Every time I pass a wishing well, I think kindly about you. etc.,

    Some folk need a titanic Yellow Scat Bulldozer to clean their computer room.

    Maybe YKW242 was hatched? A golf ball that washed to shore by a tidal wave?

    Maybe Rush and 'The Weekly Standard' will soon write a article about that theory?

  • left coaster

    I wouldn't make too much out of the opinion of the odious Weekly Standard being "humiliatingly false" in their belief that the Dems would cave on telecom amnesty, when you had essentially the same belief on this issue. Like the WS, until the wording of the legislation was released, you were all-but certain that the Dems would cave. Just saying.

    You're right about this. I assumed up until this week that Democratic capitulation was virtually inevitable, and it turned out I was wrong about that. I've happily admitted that many times, including in this very post ("Virtually every one I know who has expended lots of efforts and energy on these FISA and telecom issues has assumed from the start -- for reasons that are all too well-known -- that we would lose").

    Nonetheless, what's notable -- and hilarious -- about the Weekly Standard's declaration of victory is the cocky, premature gloating, combined with their long record of being wrong about everything. I'm not saying that what they wrote is some grand journalistic scandal. I added it on as a sixth update to a long post. But the certainty they expressed combined with the gloating makes it impossible not to point to it, at least it did for me.

  • I summon the demons-

    It appears and does the little idiot dance. I like magic! I'm a conjurer!

    Rule No. 1 is that people given power will tend to abuse it.

    Ron Paul is made of people! Soylent Green is made of People!

    Rule No. 2 is that politicians have an inclination to lie.

    Like Paul and Rockwell lied about those newsletters and who wrote them. And Soylent Green!

    Rule No. 3 is to always oppose excessive government secrecy.

    I think they thought they could keep them secret. Politicians, people. Hubris and human frailty. Lust for political power.

    Precisely why you have to be very careful who you give it to.

    But Ron Paul is a great man. Lew Rockwell is a great man. And let's not forget The Great Murray Rothbard. He was a great man.

    Great men are almost always bad men.

    Lord Acton

    They really aren't great men. Small men and losers. Some small men are bad men.

    And gosh darn if some liberals don't just love seeing others in pain. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

    Speaking for myself, I don't care if you are in pain as you circle the drain because you are a small minded, pernicious little shit. I don't think anyone here gives a rat's ass about Bork, in pain or not. He's a kook and hypocrite and he's circling the drain with you. Hopefully in some pain. Schadenfreude

  • re: How do you like them apples?

    Caveat: IANAL (if that makes you feel any better about me), but I can't find the clause that enables AT&T to intercept my phone calls, text messages and internet traffic and deliver it to the government carte-blanche, and without a warrant.In fact, if my admittedly limited knowledge of law informs me correctly, they are expressly forbidden from doing that.

    So, when I pay AT&T $130 or so a month for wireless service, are they acting in good faith or in bad faith to the service agreement between them and myself? If they are not acting in good faith, I think I deserve a refund.That's my money, and I'm not spending it to be spied on illegally.
    How do you like them apples?-- Christopher Michael Neill

    IANAL either, but I'm pretty sure no one is asserting the content of your communications is being examined by a human being. I am also pretty sure that you have no idea that any such thing actually occured leaving you with no complaints of worth.

    In short, you are barking up a fantasy tree concocted out of thin air. But if you want to push the point, I'd like to hear why you think that ATT shouldn't be allowed to examine the use of it's own facilities for those with nefarious intent.
