Hey! I gotta tell you about our three hens! Okay the two young ones started laying, but the three old ones just won't stop! Jeez, Good, they're like 7 or 8 years old! Yeah, they took a little time off in the winter, but started right up again last week!

Of course, the most important step to liking chickens is not to have too many.

You are too hard on yourself. You produce excellent dreck. However, doing as you suggest would do nothing to help me out of the complexities alluded to earlier, regarding multiple persons posting under multiple names. As a very great man once said "there are knowns, there are known unknowns, and then there are unknown unknowns". And so, to save any sanity I may have now, or expect to have in the future, I am hereby assuming that each individual name in comments here is an actual individual person.

Can't disagree with you there, my friend. Or can I? Anyway, let me know. Anything for you LWM.

I'm not staying here. It's leftover ice cream, and apple pie day.

During oral exams at dinner last eve, LWM, had green buck spinach teeth.

That's so silly. Maybe a thousand human tongues, and 10,000 teeth can speak best.

I have three names I use now. One is just off the line. Two names, Bucky. TWO. That's all there were. William knows what they are. We all do. I haven't disturbed you lately because it is now time to get serious about defeating McCain. You two came in here starting some stupid shit and now look where you are. Looking ridiculous. Zip it. This isn't about me, or you, or anyone else here. This is now about the election and beating McCain. Get with the program or get along. Nobody is allowed to have a favorite Democratic candidate until Glenn decides for us. Right, Bucky?

Now back to my nap.

Actually, it's down the memory hole now of course, but last year, our shadowy masters, provided 'proof' of Iranian involvement some time ago.

Unfortunately, that 'proof' consisted of munitions, claimed to be from Iran, with English lettering! Who knew?

That was really sad. I swear they could pull a dead rabbit of a hat, say the Iranians did it, and 30% of Americans would believe it.

Boodley-oot'n be-bop, doodley woh-woh-woh,

Bebop spoken here!

Bebop spoken here!

What, You guys don't stream KCBS FM on your computer? You is missing out, brothers, and it's not just Jazz, not at all. What would you say if I said: FOUR HOURS HAWAII RADIO on Saturday at noon? Right from the Big Island!

And much, much more!

You are breaking with the partisan script that most of Salon uses in the comments.

Here is the deal, bucky, you know how this works. First, you pick a side and passionately endorse EVERYTHING that side has to offer, the blue plate or red plate special, so to speak, even when some things on either side completely contradict the supposed ideologies and ideas that the platforms were built on, and you do this even if you are a one issue voter. It's cool, when your side does something different than what you perceive as the Right Thing, just play apologist for your side anyway, bring up the single wedge issue you say you care about, and argue about that instead until you feel better and properly hate "them" like you are supposed to. As long as you wave your flag and rah rah the team, you are a good guy, and everyone else is bad guys. Just argue with the bad guys and play apologist until your pet issue comes up (or you bring it up) and you don't feel that nasty cognitive dissonance anymore, after a nice long argument about your favorite wedge issue, the issue that you are really passionate and get fired up about.

"I have three names I use now. One is just off the line."

did we step into a landmine - the english word for "Frieden" is peace!

What about our other 800+ bases in 130+ countries around the world? Are those troops coming home as well? Or is Iraq just another Imperial Outpost?

Probably not. While I thoroughly admire you passionate pacifism, I myself would be happy with stopping the War On Iraq, for a start. Oh, I know, the War On Iraq is a little thing hardly worth bothering about, but humor me, I'm wierd that way.

Does Ron Pauliac count as one of them? So Ron Pauliac and Stettibberwhatever are the only two handles you've ever used, eh?

Do you happen to have any bridges for sale? I'm looking.

it seems more and more apparent to me that McCain probably doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to foreign policy, most of the time.

When the Press cites his experience in Vietnam as somehow conferring expertise, I wonder where in hell said *Press* got *its* expertise. Serving in the military doesn't give you expertise in the kind of high-level diplomacy and gamesmanship you need to have to be President, or Sec. of State, for that matter--unless you're a Lord Mountbatten, or Lord Wellington, or Lord Kitchener..and even then, you can still screw up completely because of biases, as history has shown so many times.

I have a bad feeling about McCain. I think he's nearly as ignorant as Bush was/is about foreign policy, and when he does know comes from grotesquely biased sources.

Why is the Press giving him this pass? You'd think it'd be a LOT more fun to take the dude apart because of his ignorance and arrogance. Our Press really has gone over the GOP dark-side in the last 10 years.

Among Howie's catalog of McCain foreign policy virtues:

1.Pilot

2.Supported the surge

3.Served on national security committees

4.Visited Iraq eight times

My foreign policy props;

1.Driver's license

2.Opposed the surge

3.Served on company safety committee

4.Visited anothe ethnic melting pot, SanFran, dozen times

I have three names I use now. One is just off the line. Two names, Bucky. TWO. That's all there were. William knows what they are. We all do.

Ya right. You started two new ones just a while back. Timberman himself listed 4 or 5; I do not have time to look up that post. I figure 20, with 5 main ones used often.

I haven't disturbed you lately because it is now time to get serious about defeating McCain. You two came in here starting some stupid shit and now look where you are. Looking ridiculous. Zip it. This isn't about me, or you, or anyone else here. This is now about the election and beating McCain. Get with the program or get along. Nobody is allowed to have a favorite Democratic candidate until Glenn decides for us. Right, Bucky?

Now back to my nap.

-- L.W.M.

It is time to get serious about nominating Obama and taking 40 more house seats. Six in the Senate, I wager. It is time for you to post only as one handle and stop trying to play games with Glenn's comment section.

But we both know that will happen only when Salon enforces it, or pigs fly.
