Ya freak...

I once exercised my free speech rightsexercised my free speech rights by emailing Ted, telling him 'I would not lose sleep were he to fall down a well'...he turned me in to the FBI...That's how desperate the clown is for attention.

Ted Rall just really, really makes me sad. In fact, most people like him make me sad. They're so consumed with their anger and their hate and their illogical arguments that I have to wonder if they get any real pleasure out of life at all.

This has GOT to be the FNDT!

Rall will go into Moonbat hibernation until they find another issue.

He does sort of dovetail into one of my problems with the Quakers though and that is how do you pretend to be communicating with people who are incapable of shame?

This Ted Rall guy, you say he's doing fat-body dominatrix porno movies?

Jesus loves you Ted Rall.

We received an email from Ted Rall, the cartoonist who called our war against the Taliban a "genocide" and belongs to the Michael Moore-Ward Churchill school of supporters of the Zarqawi "resistance" in Iraq.

Dear Mr. Horowitz:

It has come to my attention that you have, without obtaining written or other permission, posted a publicity photograph of myself, apparently copied from my website, to your site Discover the Network ([Link: www.discoverthenetwork.org)...] This photograph is copyrighted material. Your act violates U.S. Copyright Law, which provides for damages up to $150,000 plus attorney's fees.
I therefore request that you take the following actions on or before 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, February 25, 2005:
1. Remove said photograph from your website.
2. Agree to remit the sum of $5,000.00 as payment for your unauthorized use of said photograph, with such payment via money order to be received within three (3) business days at my address in New York, New York.
3. Sign a notarized stipulation agreeing not to post my copyrighted material in the future.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter.

Sincerely,
Ted Rall

We are flattered to receive Rall's "cease and desist" notice since he has made no such demand to "American Traitor" where the same photo is posted today. We'll just have to guess why Rall finds being posted in a database on the left more offensive than being called a traitor.
The offending profile of Rall can be read here.

Subject: Re: URGENT: Cease and Desist Notice

Dear Mr. Rall,

I represent David Horowitz, and am writing to respond to your email below. I am informed that the "publicity photograph" was not copied from your website, contrary to your surmise. It appears to be in the public domain. If you dispute this, please promptly furnish me with a copy of your copyright registration.

Even if the photo is copyrighted, its use in FrontPageMagazine.com appears to qualify as a fair use. The nature and purpose of the use is news reporting and commentary in an Internet publication for nonprofit educational purposes. The very nature of a "publicity photo" suggests that it is ordinarily intended to be used without obtaining permission in advance. Moreover, it does not appear that the effect of the use would be to decrease the value of the photo, which appears to have been widely circulated in many sources. Accordingly, we believe a court would find this use of the photo to be "fair" under Section 107 of the Copyright Law.

Based on the foregoing reasons, your three requests are hereby rejected. We would be willing to consider any further information you care to provide, including a copy of any copyright registration.

Yep, as usual, one of the Left's darlings decides it's time for another round of "Love Me, Daddy!" attention seeking. I gotta agree with most folks, there's not much point in bringing any attention to Rall, as he tends to thrive on it. The best move in this situation is simply to roll our collective eyes and ignore the obvious cries for our attention.

Quote "Ted Rall is the world's greatest example of why drugs are dangerous."

Ted Rall is the internet's foremost wit: he has talent and an acute sense of justice. We should all be kissing his ass.

I just took a quick look at Ralls blog but I didn't see any way to make comments on it. Which is no doubt why he doesn't understand (or more likely chooses not to acknowledge) that anybody can log onto LGF and post a comment. We all know that DUmmies do it all the time.
I have an account at KOS that I've never used. I could easily go over there and wish all kinds of death and desruction but I would know I was just as bad as them.

Speaking of Flounder (okay, it was me), Animal House just started on WGN, if Rall-bashing gets too boring... Not likely, though...

Quote "Ted Rall has allowed psychiatry to settle his issues instead of leaving them to chance."

Quoth Ted Rall:

So our guy lost the election. Why shouldn't those of us on the coasts feel superior? We eat better, travel more, dress better, watch cooler movies, earn better salaries, meet more interesting people, listen to better music and know more about what's going on in the world. If you voted for Bush, we accept that we have to share the country with you. We're adjusting to the possibility that there may be more of you than there are of us. But don't demand our respect. You lost it on November 2.

Guess he can't accept sharing the country.

man Iowahawk has me in tears...

I fought off the ether hallucinations and fly swarms and fumbled through my medical bag for my 9 millimeter and another shot of absinthe. I pushed off the safety and casually popped off three quick rounds, through the shag carpet stomach lining of the nauseous steel beast that was consuming all of us, and it began thrashing angrily. The lesbian was screaming, and the two Aryan Hitler Youth were screaming, and the grotesque talking dog jumped into the arms of the whimpering hippie boy. Holy sweet Jesus Christ, I thought, don't these people realize we're about be eaten alive by poorly-drawn Chevrolet? "Nevermind," I said. They would see it all soon enough, after the nightshade cookies and Scooby snack kicked in.

awesome work Iowahawk...

#72 theparson

I couldn't help myself... the image of dwarf-tossing spontaneously occured to me as I read his comment. It was a miracle. Like that english muffin I've got with the image of Karl Rove on it.

Ted Rall is a super guy. He thinks and lives better than anyone I can name. If my dog's ass looked like Ted Rall, I'd teach him to walk backwards.

Jesus loves you Ted Rall.

Remember that fondly, Ted, when the cell block manager at your final destination announces: "Okay everybody. Coffee break's over. Back on your heads!"

If Rall wants the most hate-filled quote from a Leftie in a blog, he needs to look no further than: "Anyway, I'm sure he's turning crispy brown right about now." on his own site on Sunday June 6, 2004 at 10:28AM

Condemning a man to eternal damnation in Hell. Sounds pretty harsh to me. Especially for an Atheist.

No, Fred Durst is the midget, ugly, borderline retarded, and unbeleivably lucky "musician" from limp bizkit (sp?) who recently had his cellphone-thing hacked and a homemade pr0no shown on the web. See details at fark.com

Anyway, the pr0no comment about Rall fit here because Rall, too, is stunted (at least intellectually), ugly, and a complete loser of a human being.

He just doesn't share Durst's proclivity for bedding incredibly beautiful women (only semi-pretty stinky hippy girls who have hairy armpits and lots of "scarves")

If I have said it once, I have said it a million times - the only way a lefty can presume to make a point, is to contort out of context statements and force them into the warped-reality liberal half-truth agenda mold. So sad. Facts, context and reality mean nothing to Rall and his ilk.

Somebody get me my politically correct leftist feminist daily KOS "screw-them" DU-approved really nice Bush=Hitler-Chimp Karl Rove is an evil Lord puppet master - approved smelling salts. Gordon is making me want to faint.

Oh course, like Ted Rall, the Right Rev. Gordon of the Church of Holier-Than-Thou never says anything which might agner or offend. That's why we all love him so.

They're so consumed with their anger and their hate and their illogical arguments that I have to wonder if they get any real pleasure out of life at all.

Well, you'd think old Ted would be happy. After all, he comforted himself after the election with the notion that blue staters live in nicer houses, eat better food, and live more fulfilling and interesting lives than slobby red staters, who are all, in Ted's mind, living in trailer parks, working at Wal Mart, stuffing themselves on Big Macs and 7-11 hotdogs, and get all their thrills from watching "Desperate Housewives." (Excuse me, but what is the color of the state New Orleans is located in? I've heard you can get a pretty decent plate of chow down there.)

So Ted should be pleased with his vastly superior life, but instead he's always bitching and whining and griping and sneering. Unfortunately for him, no matter where he lives, he'll always be Ted Rall. That's a hell of a life sentence.

Someone please explain to me the leftie usage of "*" to refer to Pres. Bush in DU comments.

It's not funny and makes zero sense to me, like much of what passes for rhetoric on the left these days...

I saw this pathetic little turd on Hannity and Colmes just after he had submitted his caricature of Condi Rice looking like an Al Jolson blackface character. Believe me if a conservative cartoonist had drawn such a picture the cascade of vilification from the LLL's would have made Noah's flood look like a drizzle.

He comes across as a malcontent with a severe inferiority complex. He is so far on the left bank that he and Wart Churchill could share a boat. His truculent responses to Sean's questions made him look even more ridiculous, and even Allah Colmes had to disown him on the show. In short, (and he is very short) Ted Rall is a complete loser, and now that he is out of work, just needs some pub so he can continue his hate America and Israel tour. Perhaps Michael Moore can lend him the couch in the Manhatan pad?

I live 10 min. from Beaumont, and it's still the same red beans and rice w/barbecue fantastic.

Aladin, jwpaine

my point was that, it won't be just two days. you will spend an arseload of time modifying it to (a) meet new demands as requirements change and (b) upgrading technologies as the infrastructure changes.

Still, $3meg apiece is not bad...

christheprofessor: I did not mean to slight Carolina.

As to my personal preference - well, if you think a Yankee is going to jump into the middle of the Great Carolina-Memphis-Texas barbecue War, you've got another think coming,...,

;-D

#173 It' MISS donna V. To You,

Yeah I am an Ohioan...well done and A-1 sauce is good enough for me...

what I get hung up on is who has the best fries in the world...

hate to say it but a little german Gasthaus has the street cred so far.

Nam Grunt
Have you tried that little Bar-B-Q joint outside of Lumberton?
It's called West Texas Ber-B-Q.

Miss Donna V.

No slight felt :)

'Nam Grunt

Never much liked red beans and rice. In Carolina it's more of a chicken and rice thing... BBcue stands on its own...

#175 RebTex,

I have passed it but never stopped, but I will next time.

Ted Who is an irrelavant wanker.

Ted Rall is a victim? Now that's funny!

Ted Rall is living proof that buying stock in pharmaceutical companies is a sound investment.

Kinda odd being so far east & called West Texas Bar-B Q

172 christheprofessor

You're right. I've had a bit too much Jose Cuervo to talk details, but I've made a note to take to Jwpaine on Thursday next week. $ 6.0 Million, or a fraction thereof covers a lot of maintenance.

Other comment, if this is the FNDT it seems rather boring...

Sorry,

I forgot to add

[ducking and running]

Hollah - I do believe I've found the FNDT. Give me my baby backs dry Memphis style.

#175 RebTex,,

Wonder why they call it West texas, this is about the most East Texas as you can get unless you jump into the Sabine River. ;-)

#184 RSRN

I agree, I don't like my food slathered with sauce... Much like wings, I want them breaded, spicy, and dry, almost like fried chicken...

I've had two tequilas so it's getting close to time for me to go. Last time I had more, I spent the next week apologizing. I did want to leave you all with this.

Asshole Challenge

my 186

Don't want my ribs breaded, my bad...

#175 RebTex,

Well I see we are on the same wave length tonight.

#136--Iowahawk

The "Fear and Loathing"-parody snuck up on me, and sucker-punched my funny-bone...I need my MEDICINE! :)

As much as I loved the early work of Thompson, I loathed and felt sorry for his late, addle-pated raving. I guess it was to be expected, given what he was doing to himself for 50+ years. I've seen people succumb to alcohol/drug dementia in a year or so of serious mood-altering behavior.

Thanks for another classic!

Worst barbecue I ever ate was in North Carolina the week after I returned from three years in Israel. I at first refused to eat it when it was offered, then accepted it after much hazing from the host. I also gurggled down a generous portion of warm Wild Turkey that the host served as an appertif. I don't understand why he was upset when I hurled the whole mess all over his living room, you see: prior to accepting his burnt pigflesh, I had repeatedly told him that I hadn't eaten pork in three years, and it probably wouldn't sit well with me.

OT but I just got an email from a friend that is kinda funny:

THINGS THAT HALLMARK CARDS DON'T SAY

M y tire was thumping.

I thought it was flat

When I looked at the tire...

I noticed your cat.

Sorry!

H eard your wife left you,

How upset you must be.

But don't fret about it...

She moved in with me.

L ooking back over the years

that we've been together,

I can't help but wonder...

"Wha! t the hell was I thinking?"

C ongratulations on your wedding day!

Too bad no one likes your husband.

- - - -

H ow could two people as beautiful as you

Have such an ugly baby?

I 've always wanted to have

someone to hold,

someone to love.

After having met you

I've changed my mind.

I must admit, you brought Religion into my life.

I never believed in Hell until I met you.

A s the days go by, I think of how lucky I am...

That you're not here to ruin it for me.

C ongratulations on your promotion.

Before you go...

Would you like to take this knife out of my back?

You'll probably need it again.

H appy birthday! You look great for your age.

Almost Lifelike!

Now that we've broken up,

I think it's time you kept your promise.

I 'm so miserable without you

it's almost like you're here.

- - - -

Y our friends and I wanted to do

something special for your birthday.

So we're having you put to sleep.

@179 Rayra

Ohhh...I just luv the way you think... :)

I decided against the Shiraz, instead I'm having a grigio pinot (Santa Magharita) Italian wine...with baby back ribs... Pork for all of you whahabis reading Charles' thread.

#187 Aladin

Perhaps I'm suffering from Anheisers, but I don't recall you being out of line (i was only on line one night, though, I may have missed it...).

#70 CrimsonFisted Quoth Ted Rall:

"So our guy lost the election. Why shouldn't those of us on the coasts feel superior? We eat better, travel more, dress better, watch cooler movies, earn better salaries, meet more interesting people, listen to better music and know more about what's going on in the world. If you voted for Bush, we accept that we have to share the country with you. We're adjusting to the possibility that there may be more of you than there are of us. But don't demand our respect. You lost it on November 2.
Guess he can't accept sharing the country. "

This is what I have to say to Mr. Rall:

Teddy Boy: I betcha my husband and I make more money in one year than you can in five. Make that ten. We have educated or still in the process of educating five children in private schools and colleges. #3 son is at Northeastern in Boston right now. #5 is in a private Catholic school because he's autistic. #4 is getting ready to go to a private college in the fall. Could you pay their tuitions? How does $75,000 out of pocket sound to you?

Music? My husband is a symphony orchestra conductor in his spare time. What music is cool to you? Rap?

You know more about what's going on in the world and well traveled? I was born overseas (Thailand) and have travelled the world several times over, bucko. Where have you gone lately?

Interesting people? We know lots of them. Name your interesting group, and we'll name ours.

You eat better? Damn. Apparently, you've never been to my home. I was taught to cook by the best chefs in Bangkok.

You dress better. Bully for you. Have no clue what you mean by this, but maybe you need the "skins" to hide your pathetic self.

You're a child, Teddy. And unlike the other famous Teddy, perhaps one day you will actually grow up.

(Rant over)

#186 Christheprofessor
Sauce on the side, baby.

you almost WHAT for the guy?

Charles, waaay too in touch with your girlie side, lose it
l Ahhhrnold!

195 christheprofessor

You missed it. If there is such a thing as a magnificent asshole, I was it. To top it off, the people I insulted were some of the most decent folks I've met on LGF.

My problem, not theirs. I'm glad you didn't see it. Excuses abound, but I'm better now.

Regarding Hunter Thompson, AmericanThinker linked to this assessment of his life, which I tend to agree with:

A life of talent wasted...

#187 Aladin Sane
MikeL had me talkin' ugly to my computer at work this afternoon.

193 Iron Fist

Good golly miss molly where'd you find that T-shirt? LOL

Working on my second Shiner Bock. If this isn't the FNDT, it will be soon.

#199 Aladin

Well, it's like a bud of mine told me when I apologized after drinking too much and morphing into a sphincter, we are all assholes at some time. It was just your turn... I wouldn't sweat it...

Michelle Malkin pegs Rall perfectly! The "buck-naked bigotry" of a bottom-feeder.

I once wondered to myself: "Did somebody, somewhere, find this humorless, talentless a-hole remotely amusing?"

Malkin explains: Rall is not the far Left fringe. He gets away with this pen-and-ink-stained excrement because he reflects the closet thinking of mainstream media editors across the country and their mainstream liberal audiences. His work is reportedly carried in 140 newspapers. He and his ilk are everywhere. I grew up with his kind. I went to school with his kind. I work in the media with his kind. I have been getting contempt-filled, profanity-laced, "You-are-a-traitor-to-your-race/You banana/coconut/Aunt Tomasina/white wannabe" diatribes from his kind in my mailbox for the past 12 years.

Rall "reflects the closet thinking" of the MSM editors. He never had to be funny. He just had to know his masters' prejudices.

Funny how they turned him out, when he crossed the line from normal America-hating, to "American Hero Trashing." Tillman was just too noble, too selfless, for even the dimmest lefty MSM rag to justify Rall's vicious, heartless, cowardly attack on his character.

#192 Texanista
They really do make congrats on your divorce cards. I bought one for a friend of mine that said, "When he comes crawling back on his knees saying he's sorry"...(open to inside of card), "Agree with him". It fit her situation perfectly.

201 redstateredneck

I've been a dick, admittedly. But honestly (do you remember the movie with Burt Reynolds called "The Last yard" or something like that? Remember the Lurch looking fucker that said "Play football with the guards... I'd like that) I'd like to do the challenge with MikeL.

Just saying...

In the meantime, I'm just Aladin, behavin' myself...

204 christheprofessor

Thanks Chris!

Iron Fist,

How are you this evening Sir?

[Please notice I'm behaving...]

Tequilla gives me X-Ray vision!
I see the beauty in every girl in the whole place!

211 we used to have a t-shirt at SFA that said" Drink till she's cute" LOL

@196 rightymouse

Can I have your address? And what's for dinner?
Do you have your own cookbook?

#207 Aladin
He was beggin' for somebody to open a can of whoop ass on him. I'll bet he wouldn't have been so bold in person! He said he was an attorney - got to be a Plaintiff's attorney, botttom feedin', slum suckin' slime. Yuck!

While others were the WHOLE BOTTLE!

214 redstateredneck

Okay, Jose Cuervo is probably speaking for me now, but I was serious about the challenge. There is no way that I can accept someone stating that their income makes them a better person.

[fist was I being a dick?]

I'm still up for the challenge. Worst that can happen is a couple of charities get money and I get a sucky NIC...

#215 RebTex,

The only reason they get better at closing time is because they are the only ones left.

Not questioning your rule, but suggesting a corrolary...

Me.

Forgot to add, that's from experience!

Rall's site is down. Guess he wasn't expecting this many responses.

#220 RebTex,

Been there, done that, and got the tee shirt, ;-)

p.s.

Back in the day!

I have to leave soon. Tee many tooquilas...

If this is the FNDT, shouldn't there be more frivolity?

Okay,

I'm I lumberjack and I'm okay...

@196 rightymouse

Can I have your address? And what's for dinner?
Do you have your own cookbook?

We live on six glorious acres in rural Ohio - about 40 minutes out of Cleveland. Rall would probably puke over that, but we have an in-ground pool and a large home and he likely does not. So, I wanted to spit in in his stupid face. Our county went totally Republican this past election. Even the Amish went to vote for Bush.

No, I don't have my own cookbook, but if you want recipes, I can do that. Anything particular you have in mind?

Maybe Charles could open a thread for recipe swapping?

224 Iron Fist

Fist,

We woke up a couple of nights ago when our alarm system was going off. I went downstairs to see what was up, and I canceled the alarm. Then I reset it. It wouldn't reset because it said the door to our bedroom was open. I went upstairs, and THE GODDAMN DOOR WAS OPEN about 6 inches.

I wrote it off to the wind. The next day I thought "Maybe it's time Uncle Fist comes to stay for a while..."

Nothing since then..

Whether it's possible or not, I love the idea of saying "I know Iron Fist you assholes..."

Geez, this is the second piss-ant web site we have crashed today. Go flying monkeys from the dark side!

OK since this is the FNDT here's another poem I remember from long ago:

ahem... " The whiskey was spilled on the bar room floor and the place was closed for the night
While out from a hole in the floor came a mouse into the bright moonlight
he laped and laped at the whiskey on the floor and then on his haunches he sat
And later that night was heard to have said: BRING ON THE GODDAMN CAT!"
:)

@227 rightymouse

Give me some ideas. I like Thai, but have never cooked it.
One my favourite programs is on PBS, Yan Can Cook.

Sounds like you've got a beautiful place.
We've got about 59 acres, waaayyy too many horses, ditto with dogs and cats.
I wouldn't trade with Rall for all of the money in the world! :)

#230 texanista

Suggest "Bring on the Goddamn cat" as a rotating title!

#171 'Nam Grunt

Does the Texas Pelican still exist?

And btw, I'm back! No BBQ, but all 9 pieces of pizza were excellent. I am a pig!

237 Iron Fist

Fist,

It happened. I've looked and looked and can't find any problem. yeah I was paranoid for a bit, but I can see any evidence of an intruder. It could have been the wind, but I don't like it.

As they say on the news, developing...

#233 jwpaine,

Yes it does, but now it's one of those video poker parlors, more sleazy than it was, but they still have the chicken fights I'm told. I'm still fairly new here having moved here from Houston 3 years ago so I could be close to my sons.

Fist,

Let me add, guns still there, money still there, etc. Just the freaking door was open...

ok, so is it or is it not the FNDY ? I have spent the last 4 hrs. wading through census documents putting together a Churchill family tree, and it's now time to hit AT LEAST 1 bottle or merlot...

Here's the goddamn cat and I think it's killed a troll.

I thought before he was just lashing out because he is irrelevant, but after reading his last post where he says "no way" that lefties threaten others, and says Republicans like to punch people out that disagree, i became convinced

he is not mad because the media is irrelevant

he is a bigot, a small hate filled bigot, that's all

he needs to grow up or shut up

#240 'Nam Grunt

Moving from Houston to Beaumont?

What'd'ya do--lose a bet? ;-)

I stage-managed & sang with a band that did the rotating stage thing at the Pelican oh, mumblety-mumble years ago. I figured by now it would have been consumed by hellfire. Slime pit, but a rockin' slime pit. At least to an 18-year-old sneaking over the Texas-Louisiana border, it was.

BTW: Iron Fist & Aladin Sane... right after I left to eat, my wife noticed vehicle lights down on what we call "the bottom 80" so I had to go check (Mr. Callahan came with me, for all you Eastwood fans). Was just the son of an old gal who bought the 80 acres to the northeast of us. Told 'em to remember to close all the gates; somehow forgot to indtroduce them to Mr. Callahan. We live 5 miles down a dirt road and 47 miles from the nearest fast food franchise... We see lights on the ranch at night, we go visit with 'em a spell, me and Mr. Callahan.

Agreed, it's not very exciting...

Coulda' been worse; coulda' been Orange.

All that talk of bbq awhile ago "forced"me to pop-a-top and put some George Strait on.

Reading the LGF and drinking a cold one. Life is great!

Back to thte bbq anybody been to Luling Market in centeral Tx. Great bbq.

Not much else is going on...

Both of my sons took first place in our Cub Scout Pack pinewood derby. We are looking forward to going to districts..

And yes, my 5 year old makes more money per year than MikeL.

This talk about BBQ has made me hungry, and I would just love to have BBQ with any of you nice young men...

It would seem that Greta has her "Brady box" contributors on again...

Sheesh. I like Scarborough a lot better...

ah, either site-meter had a brain-fart or everybody decided they'd read enough and ran away. Now it's back to the usual 7-15 readers.

Aladin Sane,

"Brady Box" contribibutor?

Aladin -- quick -- insult someone (you said you got a little tipsy last weekend) -- we need more excitement here!

(just kidding)...

Aladi - I agree - Greta's show is the same thing every night...I quit watching it last month. That Brady box thing has to go...

Why not Greta? I think she may be the weakest link in the Fox lineup. How may times can you talk about Mucheal Jackson, Scott Peterson or the latest criminal travesty that has occured?

#271 PIMF "Aladin"

Re: Greta:

I agree. There is so much legal stuff one wants to watch (ever been to court?)... And, when it's not legal stuff, she's in over her head.

Chris,

I fart in your general direction.

Your are a silly English pig dog.

[and]

It's only a flesh wound...

good enough?

I got tired of Grata's serving up the SOS this week, and flipped over to Scarborough (sp) Country. About as annoying to watch as O'Rielly (does ANYone let a guest complete a sentence anymore?), but at least he's new (to me).

Sorry All,

Greta sucks!

Get a bunch of dimwit attorneys in brady boxes and argue about shit no one cares about...

but then again, she looks fabulous after her jaw redux..

[okay, I am a dick]

Aladin

(ducks to avoid mal-aria)

Hey!

Chris,

WTF?

We're buds, aren't we?

Speaking of O'Rielly...hasn't he over stayed his welcome. I really used to enjoy watching him. But he is, to quote GWB"wearing thin." His views and his views only, Let ME run the world and it will be a better place.

While I agree with about 70-80% of his opinions, I can't stand to listen to him much anymore. Maybe, I just OD on on the talk shows.

Aladin

Of course! I knew you meant no offense, you were just responding to my joking response to others to excite the thread...

I petard in your general direction!

Last night I wanted to hear David Duke's comments. O'Reilly talked over him. I'm not a KKK or nazi, I just wanted to hear what Dukes had to say. O'Reilly didn't let me...

Gengis

I agree. O'Reilly has gotten way too big for his britches. He softened slightly when (1) he got sued and (2) he wanted Drather's job, but once they were out of reach, he went back to his usual self. Surprisingly, his radio show is much better (perhaps because you can listen to without watching him smirk condescendingly)...

My comment at #255 "Life is good"

Actually, it is pretty boring hanging out here and hitting the refresh button every few seconds to see if anyone has posted a new comment. But my wife is out of town (went to a Barry Manilow concert in Vegas, ugh!) and I thought this would be somewhat more scintillating.

I'm still holding out hope.
