    I hope you have the opportunity to rub my nose in it.

    -- NotOrbitBoy

    Is it possible to make more of a fool of yourself than you just did with your 'bomb America in order to make me a big guy' than it would be if you had just said that you are one of the most 'dog rolling in his own shit' assholes on the face of the earth?

  • -- NotOrbitBoy

    "Tell me obama made great picks, like Leon Panetta, four years from now, when we have suffered no terrorist attacks. I hope you have the opportunity to rub my nose in it. Future Vice President, Joe Biden, doesn't think that will happen."

    -- NotOrbitBoy

    Really? Post the quote from Joe Biden where he says the US will be attacked by terrorists on Obama's watch. If you can't, than I dare you to be man enough to admit you just made that up.

  • @Kitt

    Mona and the senior crowd

    I resemble that remark. ;)

    (52 is not THAT senior, but bad eyesight runs in da fambly.)

  • Just catching up

    Thanks for all the help with links:

    Jim White**bystander**muntaba and ondalette

    Thanks for help with blockquotes:

    Kitt**Arne** and [OY!] Frankly, my dear…

    And ondalette,

    I got the info about Bolton…nice guy, right? Happiest day of his life? Yikes!

    And Jebbie, if you’re around, you may not be able to read small print any more, but you are still really fast!!! It’s appreciated. :-)

  • Oh!, Pedinska

    IO

  • Oh, Dave

    Just in case anyone here believes Mr Greenwald

    Who recently stated I was banned , "for being a lying cunt"

    Dave Byron

    Dave, Glenn Greenwald called you "a lying cunt"? You want to cite that? I'll ask you once more "Dave, did Glenn Greenwald call you "a lying cunt""?

    Do you believe the things you write, Dave? If so, wow, just wow

    Dave, you want to cite that "lying cunt"?

  • Mona

    Take it from me,Mona, keep hitting that button until the text is large enough to read plainly. Or get some powerful reading glasses by the pooter. That's right- remember when I didn't have proper specs for my old eyes, and got all verklemptuous over Omooex, which I read as "Oomex"? And saw many, many dark and devious plot therein? Remember, it was you that straightened me out. "There's no Oomex, Mooser" you said, "Except where you've mispelled it in your own posts!"

    I felt like Mr. Magoo! I've been careful to make sure I can see what I'm reading since then. It helps.

  • @Dave

    Could it be, Dave, that you're just a real schlemiel and schmendrick combined? That's a hell of a combination, Dave. It'll get you 86'd anywhere, eventually.

    And what do you know, it turns out you were lying about "lying cunt"!

    So you are a really unpleasant guy, who also lies whenever he wants to, and then believes his own lies. There's an ugly name for that, Dave. Besides Zionist, that is.

  • Just kiddin' Mona

    I hit 40 plus and couple, and couldn't make out the newspaper print. Took me for a loop. That was a whiiile back. ;o)

  • Oh!, Mona and Derbig

    Making the text larger only makes the problem worse.

    In order to fit both columns on the screen, side-by-side as they would be on a printed page makes it so that one column or the other is off the screen.

    It's just one of those things that just is.

  • Jebbie

    Yup. At 41 my eye doctor said I did not yet need bifocals, but that they were only a few years away. She was so right.

  • @Kitt

    Took me for a loop. That was a whiiile back.

    Oh yeah, I ran around the house in my underwear, screaming "I'm going blind! My eyes, my eyes!"

    Then my wife pulled the boxers off my head. Okay that was better, but I still needed reading glasses.

    Funny thing, and you can believe me or not, but the loss of close-up focus improved my motorcycle driving! My biggest fault (or so they told me at classes) was looking at the road too close in front of the bike. I don't do that anymore; I can't see it! Forces me to focus further ahead, which is the correct way to ride. However, I never, ever forget the first rule of bike-riding Leave No Turn Unstoned! I credit that simple rule with over 35 years of accident free motorcycle driving. Everyone should follow it.

  • @Jebbie

    makes it so that one column or the other is off the screen.

    A nice big flat-screen monitor is the cure for that. I'll scrounge one up sooner or later.

  • omooex

    It would be nice to see something post-election from Johnsen

    A couple of pages back, casual_observer (I think) posted a link to a Youtube of Johnsen that was from a presentation post-election that was just as hard-hitting as her pre-election statements.

    Aside to Jebbie and Pedinska: just for tonight, I'm with you nuts.

  • OT -- sort of

    Heard Glenn going mano a mano with Hugh Hewitt about the Gaza Thing this afternoon while driving around town, and I thought he not only did very well, whether or not you agree with his position, but that he even seemed to open Hewitt's closed mind on some issues, such as the notion that Palestinians actually have a real grievance. It was almost like Hewitt was sliding down a slippery slope as he appeared to contemplate the unimaginable. But then, he had Jonah "Doughy Pantload" Goldberg on after Glenn, and they got to yuk things up and taunt Glenn and his ilk, so maybe appearances deceived.

    Was just watching Max Blumenthal on al Jazeera speaking about the apparent failure of Israeli PR given the fact that the airwaves are filled with Israeli propaganda but the American public isn't buying this time. Too much experience with the same methods, means, and personnel flacking for the Busheviks.

    The discussion was based on Blumenthal's piece aqui:
