Thank you for that last one. I needed one final bolstering event to have all your comments deleted. You just gave it to me. -- GlennGreenwald

Woe be it for me to say Thanks but you are indeed due a hearty cheer IMHO.

I know you are loath to delete posts and ban users from posting here, and I am of mixed emotions myself as a grizzled old veteran of Usenet from back in the day. But enough is enough! At least with Art there was a sense of literary value many times in his free flowing and seemingly drug-induced postings, but Klytus, well, not so much.

They say imitation is a form of flattery and K was certainly trying to duplicate the vibe of Mr. James' posts. Unfortunately he missed by a huge margin.

Anyway, thanks for saving my mouse from its brutal scrolling routines as I flew past K's too many posts ...

Sincerely

Hope they don't sue me. I took a look. They're still hard to beat.

DELMAR, NY—Craig Mitich, 27, has spent 20 minutes searching his apartment for whatever the hell is emitting a high-pitched beep every few minutes. "Okay, it's not my cell phone... it's not my microwave... or my car-alarm remote," said Mitich, standing motionless with an ear cocked toward his entertainment center. "God, what is it? Can a power strip beep?" At press time, Mitich was on his hands and knees, unplugging his appliances one by one.

If I were to take part in a poll I'd say that it's a smoke alarm. Or maybe the voices in his head.

Thank you for that last one. I needed one final bolstering event to have all your comments deleted. You just gave it to me.

Someone might have beaten me to the punch on this but from many of the earlier posts I have read, some are hitting mighty close to the main problem with mainstream media today but aren't quite there. It would be great to have a reincarnation of some of the true journalists of the past hosting the Sunday news shows, but none of them would survive the toxic environment that exists today courtesy of GE, Disney, and Viacom.

None of this nonsense would be taking place if the FCC had never permitted the news divisions of these networks to be absorbed into the entertainment divisions. Because of that scandalous move, newsrooms underwent substantial cuts in foreign affairs crews, investigative reporters, etc. All in the name of "the bottom line" the bean-counters in entertainment cling to dogmatically.

Point: Restore the news divisions to their prior autonomous state, restore the credibility of news programs.

Go suck

The pomposity

Of your verbosity

Through a straw..

Most of your arguments could be made of Israel, and a few here already have pointed out that biblical, rabbinical or quranic texts should not be seen as viable claims of soveriegnty, unless you'd like to give the Hittites a go too. Israel redeployed its forces from Gaza unilaterally; that means that they have no rights or obligations concerning that withdrawal. Israel has stated quite clearly that they reserve the right to re-occupy whenever they see fit. Additionally, Israel controls Gaza's foreign policy, its economic and trade policy, its trade and exchange, its power supply, and its import and export routes. This is a well known fact; you can read it in any day's New York Times. I'm sure you must know it. If not, I suggest you begin subscribing to a daily newspaper.

What is happening here is that every time you post, you sound more stupid, and less serious. The longer your absurd posts, the shorter their refutations become. Haven't you noticed?

Not "good reasons", just reasons.

Oh come on now. We know that they think they have reasons. That could not be more obvious. We just don't agree with the importance they assign to their reasons.

In the specific case of MTP, I actually wonder if they really know what they're doing, since ratings seems to be their number one priority. They seem to be of a dinosaur mindset and don't seem to have a clue as to how to get out of it. They hired Tom Brokaw in the interim. Haven't most people had way more than enough of Tom Brokaw? Was he good for ratings? Was he good for bringing in new viewers? They were handed, or forced into, an opportunity to regroup and renew, and with that opportunity they hired Brokaw?

Then they hire this David Gregory simp. The guy is basically repulsive to the younger set and basically an interloper to the older set. I don't know how the ratings are going so I'm just guessing, but I don't think Gregory was a good choice on any level. That's all an aside from, or on top of, what a blatant suck-up he is, as we have been discussing today and other days.

What DC said.

Really, you're being rude to GG, who doesn't deserve it. Stop, OK?

"I still submit that much of agriculture, flora and fauna in Israel is a result of irrigation, importation, and other sophisticated ways to fool Mother Nature, much like what has been done in parts of California."

You are simply wrong, and indeed, showing a bit of two-dimensional thinking. Historical Palestine is a geographically and climatically varied area. Just as you would not seek to cultivate oranges in the mojave, Palestinians never planted in the Negev. However, most of the West Bank has always been fertile. I'm no expert, obviously, but I do know that there is a very famous quote from one of the fathers of Zionism (I want to say Jabotinsky), who opined that there were no cultivateable areas of Palestine that weren't already being exploited to the hilt by the time Jews started looking the place over. It has always been a fertile growing region.
