Letters to the Editor

@Celery
You are okay in my estimation.
Thanks man, I needed that.

Drebig Mooser
Some day you may amount to something?
You will be a CEO with a desk with silver-framed photos.
You will tell us about your three former ex-wives and their lovers.

@Derbig
The first person that made me feel welcome on this thread as he does to so many other relative newcomers, is Bebop/GC. He also keeps us focused on the real priorities in life. He is a real mentor and guru and certainly the ultimate unique among the unique as far as bloggers are concerned. I would defend him to the death.

Yes, but don't forget that it is very difficult for some people, apart from the value of editing and proof reading, to express themselves in writing. And class and education sure enter into it. Funny, its hard to talk about web access; everybody is getting that!
I spend a lot of time on Craigslist.. It's perfectly obvious that a lot of people have problems expressing themselves in writing.. Then I listen to a speech by GWB and realize that we have a president who is unable to express himself verbally any better than a lot of posters on Craigslist can in writing.
On indubitable advantage here is: nobody can sucker punch you for your opinions. I'll leave here with all the teeth I had when I walked in. And that is a blessing, for me, at least.
Sucker punch, no.. Stalk and threaten, yes. Try advocating the reform of drug laws and you will soon find yourself in the focus of some strange people.
I worked my way down to the bottom of his screed- and discovered I was replying to my own comment of yesterday!
You're never alone with schizophrenia!
Actually I'm a bit surprised, your style is quite recognizable..

@ 9:00 to Retired Military Patriot. etc.,
Hey, RMP. Etc.,
Now I feel like I want to stuff my ears with peanut butter.
If I can sleep better that way, then I'll recommend it any day.
-
Celery & Peanut Butter
Ummmmm...good stuff.

ghee
I'm catching up on this late. But if no one's already noted, ghee is easy to make at home.

GC
That's fine with me as long as you don't use it as eye cleanser.
-
Jebbie and RMP?
I don't even know facts of life,
or if mannequins have nipples.
I appreciate reading authorities.
-
@ RMP re GC!
Likewise.

But What about Your List?
Sure, Charlie Rose has been an apologist for the war for some time, but supposedly liberal or progressive (whatever that means - maybe it means gets there slowly) blogs are listed on your site who were the weak kneed "you broke it it yours" proponents that advocated us staying until we fixed things. The hubris of such an idea is pathetic. Kos and FireDogLake both are less than anti-war. Both have rejected the idea that the war is not an issue it is the issue.
FireDogLake in a comment to me said that the soldiers in Iraq did not have it so bad, they get breaks. (http://mainsteamlite.blogspot.com/) Rather like the thinking of Cheney who dismisses any problems with the 4000 dead as OK becasue they volunteered.
Kos is a poser who apparently learned nothing from his time in the miltary. In 2005 he shut me out of Daily K for questioning his position of supporting the war until we helped those poor Iraqis that he thinks can't take care of themselves. Three years later we still have a broken Iraq that will not be fixed util we leave.
I love ya Glenn, but clean your own house before attacking others for their inclusion of fake antiwar critics. If Kos and Jane and her crew would have stood strong as get out now people there is a chance we would be at least starting to withdraw. That is certianly a more important issue than the writers strike which like to many "liberal" causes nowdays end in capituation. A few more bucks just does not measure up to a "few" less lives.
For the Record, I have opposed the war from before it began (August 2002) to the present. My blog documents that from 2004 on. Before that I wrote on Newsgroups which are archived. Yet I am not on your list of blogs (and you are aware that my blog exists), and Kos and FireDogLake are.

@ JackieBinAZ
This all started with Derbig's observation that he found it easier to clarify his mind than his butter. I suggested store-bought ghee. You've been the victim of an inside joke, I'm afraid, but I'll bet that with your link, he may find that clarifying his butter comes as easily to him as his private meditations.
In due course I have no doubt he'll thank you. Let me thank you now, in any event. You're clearly a good soul. If you're in Phoenix -- I'm in the Verde Valley -- maybe you can recommend a good Indian emporium to me? I'm almost out of hing.

I finally finished reading the 'letter's'...
This is the first and last time I agree with W.T., RMP. and LWM who said This:
'This is the silliest thread in the history of U.T.?
Then LWM used a bad word? LWM wrote, boob.

The people at Google have intelligence and imagination, and yet they say . . .
http://www.google.com/corporate/tenthings.html
Ten things Google has found to be true
6. You can make money without doing evil.
This just isn't how I see the world.
Maybe it's my religious heritage(s).
We're all sinners.
Every option, every day, entails something evil.
Every chance to opt for a lesser evil is a good chance.

But...
However, the press can still call you wrong on your claim that "there were serious foreign policy experts who objected to the war". The reason is that according to the press a "serious foreign policy expert" is one who agrees to the necessity of the Iraq war, so all those who disagreed with waging the war are by definition not "serious foreign policy experts".
-
But I sincerely do enjoy the new commenters....
Yaks? Wild ox? A Humped over beast? A Wooly?
Our information is always very incomplete? yes.
A 'yak' is a lively conversation and it's ongoing? ya?
LWM has a framed photo of a hairy Yak in a porsche,
and neither the Yak, or the car, is L.W.M.'s. He's silly. He naps.
He does not use napkins. Dinner guest must use shirt sleeves.
