Di Rita's emails expose him as an Orwellian character steeped in the neo-conese, which is the craft of evade-speak. Or empty-speak. He is incapable of assertions. His words have virtually no meaning.

He's a sloppy, equivocating, unskilled, incompetent communicator. Why am I not surprised that he had a position of influence in the Bush administration? He's the Brownie of factual discourse. And why am I not surprised that he landed a cushy job in our banking industry, which clearly has much in common with the venal know-nothings in the administration?

This guy has no shame. He should be made to drop his trousers around his ankles and shuffle around all day, apologizing to everyone he sees.

East Tennessee. We have the strongest women in the world and can beat your god damn tanks with her just throwing pig shit at you!

Shucks, no need for you girls in ET to worry your pretty little heads over it ... no way the invaders will get past us, north past the Cohutta or the Chattahoochee, or even an inch into the Nantahala (even Jeff Davis couldn't handle it in there!).

Be good if you could watch that Western approach, though. And, ah, keep an eye on Oakridge for us, y'hear? :>

Seriously, you probably already know that this is why the Brits emptied their jails of the final Stuart holdouts and spread our lot out over all these mountains, with their eyes on the sneaky Spanish to the south ... (sig)

Multiple new polls show that younger American Jews feel less of a connection to Israel than older Jews. And while there is heated debate about some of the polls' methodologies and conclusions, most Jewish leaders are very concerned about the data. The leaders see them as a long-term byproduct of intermarriage, assimilation and controversial Israeli policies, including settlement expansion in the occupied territories.

That thread is a bit more high profile than this one, and what happened was, I said that this journalist, Dave Marash, had quit al Jazeera because he didn't want to be blacklisted by the neocons, and then the robot posted along the lines of '"neocons"? you mean "Jews"', and I posted right back at him making the fact that it was him making that jump not me really explicit, and that response of mine seems to have been removed.

People get Pavlovian when they see the word "Jew" right in their faces, but as I say, I was just playing his own slur back at him. Then finally I said, just look at my dozens of posts on Glenn Greenwald's threads, or look at my blog, and if you can find anything anti-Semitic anywhere on weither of them, I shall be fascinated to hear about it, and that made him climb down.

All this still leaves it open for him to say that I am "obsessed by Jews" if he wants to. I don't deny it. I am like that girl Shelhevet, who posted a comment to one of Johann Hari's articles about Israel at The Independent website, saying that being an Israeli was like being the child of abusive parents, except that in my case I am not even an Israeli, so it's more like being the disowned child of parents who are abusive to the children they have kept.

"no, I do not believe he has broken the law during his time in office"

What will happen to you once we anarchists take over?

I call it Teh Stoopid! And it burns.

We - collective pronoun

Anarchy, Anarchist - absence of dominance hierarchies, one who abjures dominance hierarchies

Take over - the act of seizing, appropriating, or arrogating authority, control, management, etc.

If they didn't exist, we'd have to invent them.

What a bizarre and darkly cryptic comment from the Electric Troll. Guess we can surmise he has "ethnic terms" on his mind.

While I'm sure you're a gangbusters prosecutor, I know that prosecutors are political creatures. In the litany of attempts to lay something criminal at Bush's doorstep, this is one of the lamest. It reeks of desperation. -- shooter242

Shooter - I can't believe I am doing this but I have a serious question for you. Namely, is it truly your belief that this president and his immediate underlings have not broken the law in any way, shape or form? Forget about the military analysts issue for a moment, not once have they broken the law? All of these myriad of scandals, the subsequent admissions and other evidence is, in your mind, simply sound and fury that signifies nothing? Is that truly what you believe? I would prefer you not do any equivocating... just a "yes, I believe he has broken the law during his time in office" or "no, I do not believe he has broken the law during his time in office" would be great. Thanks.

After eating some moldy goat cheese, it can happen to anybody. It's an epiphany? A possum looks like a elephant? A upscale mule rolls in a poodle's tub? Anything may happen. Observe.

LWM's demential has him not able recall anything.

bucky1 mistakes LWM for his spouse.

'Um live happily ever-ever after....

The problems are enormous....

Work together or else....

We will wear shrouds....

Oh, dead or alive....

The labels confuse. Instead of calling a Fry Pan a F`ing Fry, call a cast iron pan just a damn pan. Then a pan can be used for non-fry foods. Then you can boil garlic, milk, and simmer peas instead of fry up everything. I'm sore, no coffee, no milk, no beer.

Ignore me. Label me a moron. Heh! Hay! Hoot! Poop! Peas.

Everybody on Earth is same-same. Possums poop. Eat peas!

Everybody is a plain old human. No : Libertarians communist,

sociologist, leftist, and no orthodox humans or F`ing humans.

The population may be controlled? People can be little humans.

Arne mentioned the population growth and the impending doom.

Was it Pete Seeger who sang people need to get littler? Why label?

fat, obese, moron, kosher, bipolar, paranoid, or fixated on Macbeth?

I should have remained in bed. This is f'ing stupid. Why hop in a fry pan!
