Anyone mention yet that JPost mentions LGF by name

The US-based blog LittleGreenFootballs.com first wrote about the controversy and included a series of detailed animations drawing attention to doctored elements of the photograph.

"This Reuters photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation. Notice the repeating patterns in the smoke; this is almost certainly caused by using the Photoshop "clone" tool to add more smoke to the image," wrote Charles Johnson a regular contributor to LittleGreenFootballs.

Kudos to Little Green Footballs and The Shape of Days , and others.

Dan Rather/CBS's use of phony documents to lie about the president's National Guard service; false reporting throughout the Katrina disaster in hopes of embarrassing the president; the New York Times/Washington Post publishing of national security secrets for, in part, the purpose of preventing the interrogation and monitoring of the enemy; Reuters's doctoring of war photos to undermine our ally, Israel, as it seeks to defend itself against the enemy, etc.

And you know there must be much more of this kind of irresponsible, unprofessional, unethical, and dishonest reporting going on.

And Another Thing...The Mark Levin Blog

It's probably all the hits from Reuters that is slowing the site down. LOL

Keep up the excellent work, Charles and Co.!

Works fine for me :)

Relax. That's what we lizards do best cuz we be cool. I can digg it.

we might as well switch to a different server now, cause in a little while lgf is going to have 3 hundred thousand people a day everyday

Heh. I'm on vacation for the next two weeks. I've got nothing but time.

it's going to get worse; just got a name drop from el-rushbo

Listen to Rush discuss Reuters.

"This Reuters photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation. Notice the repeating patterns in the smoke; this is almost certainly caused by using the Photoshop "clone" tool to add more smoke to the image," wrote Charles Johnson a regular contributor to LittleGreenFootballs.

Just a regular contributor, huh? Has LGF been sold?

JPOST needs to be corrected.

wrote Charles Johnson a regular contributor to LittleGreenFootballs.

Charles isn't a contributer to LGF, he is LGF.

Keep kickin' their asses, lizardoids!
And thank you Charles, for this oasis of sanity in a world gone mad.

Rush is talking about LGF. Props to you Charles!

And more references to LGF from El Rushbo...

Congrats! LGF: 2, CBS/RaTHer: 0, Al-Reuters: 0. It really is unfair, LFG has all the brains. The MSM has journalists. Snark!

Any bets on who'll be the three-millionth commentor, and on what hour of which day it'll post? I'll say Wed. 11AM CDT; Ed Mahmoud.

Charles on Dennis Prager now.

Again, congratulations on a job well done.

Supporting massive hits from web browser traffic is not an easy task to deal with. It isn't just the servers, it's how the traffic is distributed.

IP Sprayers, or Load Balancers spraying traffic back to clustered web-servers is a nice strategy. Not the most economic approach, but this is what eBay, Insurance Companies, and other financial institutions do it. It is a proven and accepted method.

Also, if you could offer WAP support for mobile devices with "trimmed down" content that does not overwhelm the hand-helds that would be smashing! A hand-held is great to have but most of the time I can't get LGF to load. The little thing can't load the threads! WAP support or LGF mobile would be very, very cool! Plan on that, because hand-helds are becoming more common.

/I know, I know. Heading over to the tip jar now!

Provided I don't get bounced again...

Wow. I spend the weekend working on straightening out the house after the move, and miss all, but all, the excitement.

Congratulations, Charles. I hope you get credit from the media.

For the Reuters folks reading this blog ... does your conscience still allow you to work for such a deceitful organization?

(Of course, if you're in the enemy camp, it probably doesn't bother your conscience at all.)

I'd like to quote Arie in Afula who posted this on Ynet today:

My two cents (which is actually worth only a penny): Two days of back-stories is sufficient. A compromise might be to raise the profile of the archive links.

#33 Monster

Really. I would never have guessed. Someone said that to me here the other day (don't remember why), and I was just wondering.

Whatever it means, by context, clearly, it's a good thing.

And, thanks :-)

Having had to put up with dial-up for a long time, I'm accustomed to long waits and being timed-out. No problemo, and well worth the price of exposing fraud.

AG in Houston!

Charles,

First of all, the problem is not that it's slow, it's that it takes so long to get in that it dies (I had to re-hit this three times before I got into the comments).

And what if it doesn't die down? Every time you've had a big kick up because of a major event (e.g. Rathergate), even once the numbers have gone down, they've been higher than they were before the event.

But it's great for you Charles. Kos must be seething. You passed them in the TTLB rankings :-)

Second try.

Fox just had the story of the doctored photos with big blow-ups of the images, but didn't catch the entire segment so I don't know if they mentioned LGF.

Of course Rush is talking about LGF.

If he's "show prep for the rest of the talkshow hosts" then LGF has certainly been "show prep for Rush" lately.

Way to illuminate the issue, Charles!

Just heard Charles on Prager -- [Link: www2.krla870.com...]

Sounds good, LGF is blowing large holes in the credibility of anti-US / anti- US Reuters. Not only that, it is clear that Reuters is working with Hizaballah and their propaganda efforts.

He's talking with an LGF reader - "AG in Houston".

Over 8,000 now on board, some, no doubtdesparately going thru the archives looking for material to detract from LGF. This will come to a screeching halt when they discover Aisha. Then the head scratching shall begin.

#20 Ed

That was a good story and clearly demonstrates the difference between an open forum versus a conclusory posting. In LGF we are given the opportunity to prove Charles wrong and indeed the collective wisdom and niche expertise has resulted in Charles pulling a thread. The famous 'collapsing thread' is the latest. This poor women is simply attacked over and over again because of her 'inconvienient' photo of the flight 93 crash.

AG in Houston took me out for fajitas once.

Charles, I am loathe to ask but does Google news still consider LGF a 'non-credible' news source?

In previous wars, there were photographers, and journalists, then a hybrid photo-journalist came into being. In this war with new technology available we are now seeing the blending of photographer and propagandist. So may I nominate a new word for the lexicon - photo-propagandist. Unless it's already (no doubt by one of the lgf minions) been recorded. In which case I will respectfully SDSTFU.

Send some traffic my way Charles! ;D

PS - Reuters may be avoiding mentioned LGF in its news stories, but look at the Reuters counter! They are definitely visiting to see what we have to say.

3M comment tomorrow?

I finally had to slip the doorman a few bucks to sneak me in here.

Good work Charles!

What the hell happened?

The counter is down to 5,400 now.

Anyone remember the visitor count during Rathergate?

Almost 3,000 visitors gave up during the brief outage, I guess.

Charles - congratulations for yet another job well done. I came in on the Rathers bandwagon and since then LGF has been an addiction for me. I actually get withdrawal symptoms when it goes offline : )

Also thanks to the vast lizardoid horde; like it says in Proverbs, “iron sharpens iron”.

We might be at that critical breaking point where media outlets have no choice but to report a story, where not reporting a story will confirm that they are the biased, agenda driven hacks that many long believed. Something like how several outlets sat on the Monica Lewinsky story until it was broken by Drudge, and then became a huge story.

Proven instances of media bias are becoming more common and any posing as a serious news organization might not have the option to ignore it, i.e., media bias becomes a big, ongoing story that can't be ignored.

And Charles might well be the one who's contributed more to making medias bias a major news story than anyone else. Quite an acheivement and a major contribution to all who try to be well informed.

Koskidz on Reutergate...
propaganda vs propaganda

Well, the current story du jour of an apparent Lebanese propagandist with a penchant for shoddy Photoshopping was broken by the propaganda goon trust at Little Green Footballs. (Funny how this stuff always gets discovered by them. How lucky they are! Takes one to know one?) What is important to focus upon is how the headlines and the telling of the story was immediately an anti-media and anti-liberal story rather than a story with unanswered questions to be investigated and answered. It was never a search for truth. It was and continues to be a story misrepresented by a reptitive yet affective (sic) propaganda technique in order to push the right wing agenda. In this case, the agenda has a familiar goal: destroy what they perceive as a liberal news outlet.

Bwahahaha!

MUST READ. The WaPO believes the Israelis are purposely targeting themselves by failing to take out all Hezbollah rockets. The sheer stupidity of this theory demonstrates the anti-semetic/Zionistic tendencies of the MSM. This is beyond strange.

Wanna get your blood boiling? Check out Thomas Ricks latest spewage on CNN's Reliable Sources.

Vital Perspective notes that Howard Kurtz interviewed WaPo reporter Thomas Ricks on CNN's Reliable Sources about the situation in Lebanon and Ricks made some pretty startling accusations against Israel. He claims that Israel is purposefully leaving rocket launchers in the hands of Hizbullah so that they can continue their attacks and Israel can continue its offensive in Lebanon. Shameful doesn't even begin to cover this nonsense.

Kudos Charles!

Don't ya love the smell of truth in the morning?

Yup, it's slow. Probably good idea someone above suggested to reduce front page content to last two or three days. Pictures, which we've had a ton of the past couple days, really burn up the bandwidth. Other choice, IMHO, is for Charles to go IPO. Some sort of LLC. Buy some serious hardware with proceeds. Hire a writer or three, some 24/7 professional monitoring staff. Add a ping function like FR. I could tolerate some ads. Could you imagine the first ad - Infidel Airlines, tours to Mecca, Tehran, Ohm Round trip air fare not available.

But seriously, how many of us really think the WOT, SJS, or Islamic extremism is something that's going to disappear in our lifetime? Just my .02 cents...

BTW - Charles, if you ever read this, put me down for 1,000 shares at $9.00 please.

Charles, you're going to have to upgrade to a bigger server as more and more people turn to LGF as the go-to "shoot down the MSM" website. It won't be long before you are challenging ebay for online eyeballs.

I'll try not to contribute too much to the slowdown, but I would like to extend kudos in LGF's general direction. Well done.

I was checking out various online newspapers this morning and I came across one that I've have never seen before:

The North Korea Times

WTF?

Anyone see the current issue of Rolling Stone? A headline on the cover caught my attention so I browsed throught the story at the newstand over the weekend (no I didn't buy it).

They talk about a "cabal" of "neocons" controlling the U.S.'s mideast policy. Now, not to jump too quickly all over that, but are they saying that a secret society of Jews control our govenment?

[O]nly so many browsers can fit through one internet connection at a time, no matter how large the pipe.

Well, of course Ted Stevens has explained it all very clearly. The internet is a series of tubes...

In a paraphrase of the words of the late Anne Bancroft,

"I'll have what their having."

What is important to focus upon is how the headlines and the telling of the story was immediately an anti-media and anti-liberal story rather than a story with unanswered questions to be investigated and answered.

What in the world are they talking about? How can obvious photoshopping be a story with unanswered questions to be investigated and answered? The facts are Adnan got caught in an obvious fraud. If Charles hadn't found it someone else would have with the same results. Why don't they get it?

I suppose that this is one of the differents between the side that deals in facts that can be proven or disproven, not facts based on emotions, feelings and suppostions that change on a whim.

I guess we shouldn't be too hard on them today, if Lamont can lose 8 points again overnight, some of us may have to go over for the suicide watch and 72 hour committent committee when Liberman wins the primary. Their heads are going to explode. LOL

Nice work Charles, you really have them on the run! If it's slow so be it. At least the truth is leaking out!

This expose of Reuters can only be good news for our military men and women in Iraq. Maybe more people will start to question, "If the MSM is slanting the war coverage in Lebanon, could perhaps the same thing be happening in Operation Iraqi Freedom?"

Heads up, kids:

Heard that on Rush as well. It appears people are getting wise to the Hezbos tactics, so time to deflect.

It's downloading all the full-sized photos and pictures that eats up the bandwidth (as well as making this site harder and harder to access from a dial-up modem).

If possible, maybe instead of posting all the photos and pictures embedded with the text, you would just include small thumbnails of the photos and pictures instead. Then we can click on them individually to see the full-sized versions.

OT: Times(UK) wears rose-colored glasses over Muslim reformation hopes;

Don't be fooled by the fanatics: Islam's liberals are on the march
Irshad Manji

Even Muslim clerics in Pakistan now hint that the Hudood laws are not divinely created.

IT IS EASY to believe that the Muslim world has only bad news to offer. But easy doesn’t mean accurate; in truth, there’s much good news to report.
---
Let’s start in the East. For almost three decades, Pakistan has followed a set of laws called Hudood, after hudd or penalties prescribed by God, that determine punishment in cases of rape and adultery. Under these laws, more than 4,600 Pakistani women have been thrown in prison for offences that include adultery. By contrast, virtually all men accused of rape go free.

The Hudood ordinances are being seriously challenged at last. Thanks to a vocal, but religiously respectful, campaign by civil society groups, the influential Council for Islamic Ideology recently recommended reform. That move allowed President Musharraf to begin releasing some of the 1,300 women who were in jail awaiting trial.

Let’s see, 4600 – 1300 = 3300 reasons for taking this w/ an extra large grain of salt.

While you Al-Reuters boys are relaxing at LGF, may I be the first to offer some hospitality? Here, try some of our delicious green molasses and ham...

It's the same song and dance for the libs and the MSM.

They accuse others of doing what "they" or their side do.

The Hezbos kill their own for PR purposes, but yet the MSM reports that Israel kills their own for PR purposes.

The libs are the biggest racists, bigots, and haters (even of themselves), yet they say conservatives are.

Then we have them arguing for the life of a tree or bird or plant, while at the same time saying a woman can kill a child at will.

It's an ass-backwards idealism they live by.

Liberalism is a mental disorder, no doubt about it.

Hang on, Reuters.

This remiinds me of two things :

The first is a line from Ren and Stimpy when little Ren excitedly yells: "We're not just heetchhiking ...we're RIDING!" (blogosphere vs, MSM)

the other and much more pertinent is that twice now I have seen the same agitated Lebanese man with Anderson Cooper (2nd time today, first time several days ago?) yelling about the Israeli response, won't stop talking about the israelis responding to Hizballah is "all anyone can say, but look at what Israel is doing etc etc.."

I am thinking Beirut school of drama. Has anyone else see this guy? Dark hair , mustache, today a maroon t-shirt. running down an alleyway after the agitated talk with Cooper was interrupted by booming noise. If I have seen him twice, then he strikes me as at least Cooper's go-to guy for anguished Lebanese citizen.

I am not minimizing the anguish of any particular citizen of Lebanon, just wondering how it is that he is so ...available.

---
Hollisman is still being sought in the killing. He is described as a 30-year-old former Morehouse student who was known to hang around the campus. He is a native of Philadelphia, and is also known as Rahim Muhammed. Police believe he converted to Islam at some point, but do not know any details, Clayton County Assistant Chief Jeff Turner said.

Dr. Sanity's intellectual take on "Joe Lieberman's Sin."

Where I tell it like it is.

I prefer to avoid personal politics as it avoids actually using brain power on the issues, but in the case of Lieberman or any supporter of Israel, there's no reason to beat around the bush. My first paragraph:

The Left is now mainstreaming the notion Israel is "a mistake." This comes months after normalizing the notion HAMAS and Hizballah want "to destroy Israel." They're fine with that. The Left thinks Israel's supporters are dupes of AIPAC and the "Jewish Lobby" of Walt and Mearsheimer. The Left buys into the old "dual loyalties" argument which plagues Jews only for some reason. Anyone can have mixed motivations, but if it's Jews somehow the term morphs into treasonous sounding "dual loyalties." The Left's major enemy these days is the "neocons" - codeword for Jews in power. Ever since the 1967 War and Israel's backtrack from socialism, the Left has been turning away from Israel. Leftist icons like Fisk, Raimondo, Kossholes, etc., believe Jews control America.

I'm not chumming for trolls, but avoiding reality isn't a strong suit of mine.

Joe Lieberman now only trails Ned Lamont by 6% points, when just yesterday, those same "polls" showed Lamont with a 13% point lead.

D E C E P T I O N

Those same "polls" said there were only 4% "undecided" voters.

polls, a tool of the evil, wacko kook left!

Remember when, after the parent finished beating the hell out of you or your brother, they always turned to the others and said "You're next".

Can't help but wonder how many other Reuters' staff/stringers are feeling the thin ice under their feet.

Charles Johnson and Little Green Footballs was mentioned on channel 4 news when they exposed the Reuters Photoshopping fakes.

Although they didn't mention that what you say about Islam is the truth as it comes out of the jihadists and clerics mouths as well as the koran.

Is it just me, or is the tempo of SJS incidents showing a marked increase?

I've been wondering why news outlets, particularly those who provide images, stills or video, seem happy to trade their objectivity for access... sport us around and we will publish your propaganda.
The answer is that they no longer provide news, but theater. High drama, not facts, generate ratings, hence revenue.
Either that or they are just anti-Semitic. Probably both

Charles,

Congratulations! You featured prominently on the 7:00 PM BBC1 news broadcast in the UK. They mentioned you and showed the LGF website. They did make a little dig about bloggers and conspiracy theorists usually getting these things wrong (well what do you expect from the BBC?) but they did make it clear that Reuters had been discredited and the faking was serious.

Charles,
I just saw your interview on CNN.You looked younger than I would have guessed.Also your hairstyle was a bit more hippyish than I would have expected.She called the site "green footballs".You would not tell her how you came up with the name "little green footballs" but I am sure some Lizeroid will enlighten me.

If you were in any doubt, these scenes tell it all...

BTW, on BBC news, John Simpson's minder was none other than "green helmet"!

For a view of how Reuters' captions to photos are biased, check out the first 18 photos related to Israel/Hizb/Lebanon at Reuters' site. Here's the first seven captions which are representative of all 18. Every time, if an Israeli is hurt, it was a "rocket" that did it; if a Lebanese/Hizb is hurt, "Israel" did it. Humans hurt Lebanese, but inanimate objects hurt Israelis, according to Reuters.

more from oure friend cindy:

E

arlier Sunday, about 50 protesters attended an interfaith service Sunday on the 5 acres that Gold Star Families for Peace recently bought with insurance money Sheehan received after her oldest son, Casey, died in Iraq in 2004.

The vacant land, with a field and tree groves, is near downtown, about seven miles from the ranch. Sheehan, who plans to donate the land for a park after the war is over, said she plans to register to vote and get a driver's license in Texas.

Nice to see that the insurance money went to good use, like a headstone for Casey's grave. Just more proof that all Casey is a soapbox. To cindy her son is just a platform for her dadical aganda, not a loved one who died.

Now why would she want a Texas DL or to be voter? When the Iraq war is over, after we win, how long before the moonbats will claim credit for ending it?

So my husband hollered at me to turn my TV on to CNN, and so I do, and there was Charles Johnson looking as calm and relaxed as could be. What a good interview! He looked and sounded as if he did this everyday. I hope everyone gets a chance to see it.

He may not realise that Green Helmet seems to be recycling them.

Saudi Arabia is calling for a boycott of the US over the conflict in Lebanon. One can only hope it'll include boycott of Saudis travelling to the US. Actually if the Saudies had only started their boycott earlier then there would still have been two building standing in New York and 3000+ living souls. When the Saudies last started a boycott of Denmark, the Danish economy soared as a result – it’s still in acute danger of overheating. All in all Saudi boycotts are good. Wish they’d just boycott the whole world and we’d never hear of them again.

Hizballah fighter tells Israel he trained in Iran
Another "Lebanese and Iraqi Shias resent, are contemptuous of, and will not take dictation from Iranians" Update: "Hizbollah fighter tells Israel he trained in Iran," from the Hizballah News Agency, aka Reuters, with thanks to Nick:

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A Hizbollah fighter captured by Israel has told interrogators he received training in Iran and arrived there on a flight from Syria, a tape of the interrogation released by the Israeli army showed on Monday.
During questioning the man also confessed to taking part in the cross-border raid on July 12 in which two Israeli soldiers were captured, the incident which sparked the current conflict. [Link: www.jihadwatch.org...]

"We trained in Iran," the man, who gave his name as Mahmoud Ali Suleiman, told the interrogator. "We went from Beirut in civilian cars... to the airport in Damascus."

Suleiman, who gave his age as 22, said between 40 and 50 people went with him for the training, which involved instruction in the use of anti-tank weapons. He didn't say when the training took place or how long it lasted.

Jihadis and the Jews

Today's Vent calls attention to the already forgotten Seattle shooting, the firebombing at Baltimore's Hebrew University, and other worldwide attacks on Jews and Israel that won't get front-page headlines.

Haaretz reports that Jews are on "heightened alert" in the US. Debbie Schlussel has background on the Baltimore attack.

And here, for the record and for those still under the delusion that Haq was just some misguided, newly baptized Christian rather than the self-proclaimed angry Muslim-American he demonstrated himself to be, are a few snippets from the police records released last week on the Haq shooting (excuse the formatting):

Israeli attacks kill 45 Lebanese

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israeli attacks killed at least 45 people in Lebanon on Monday and a U.N. Security Council vote on a resolution to end the 27-day-old conflict was delayed after Arab nations objected to the draft.

Israeli air raids killed at least 40 people in southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa Valley, and another five died in a strike on a crowded area in Shi'ite-dominated south Beirut.

The Lebanese prime minister says only one person died in an Israeli air raid on the southern village of Houla, lowering the death toll from 40.

An Israeli gestures his opinion of an anti-war protest as it passes below his balcony August 5, 2006 in Tel Aviv, Israel.

What if you held a pro-Hezbollah rock concert and nobody came?

An anti-war protest concert, without protesters

No more than 50 people climbed up to the South Tel Aviv roof where the "Emergency Festival" against the war was being held, and most of them did not look particularly upset by the Israel Defense Forces activity in Lebanon. One of the performers noticed this indifferent mood and provokingly asked the crowd: "Is there anyone here from the left at all?" Silence. "I mean, really, does anyone here attend the leftists demonstrations? No? So I don't really see what we're doing here."

Which reminds me ...Little Green Footballs. Back in my less informed days we used to take these downers ( Mogadon like ) that looked like little green footballs...I wonder...could I be the one to uncover the secret?

Charles has hit the bigtime! No one deserves the recognition and accolades more than the Lizard Master himself. Cheers!

And the most unsettling thing for the media is not just the success Charles has had exposing their "trickery". Its that he has educated so many tens of thousands of curious people who discovered LGF, then made it a regular stop, and eventually got hooked on anti-idiotarianism. Regular LGF readers are highly informed people, far moreso than anyone who just watches TV news and reads newspapers.

And Charles knows that not all our enemies are at the other side of a weapon or IED detonation switch. Some of them are right next to us hiding out in public. But they want us lose all the same.

Hezbollah fighter confesses to kidnapping IDF soldiersLast update - 22:26 07/08/2006
Hezbollah fighter confesses to kidnapping IDF soldiers
By Reuters

A Hezbollah fighter captured by Israel has told interrogators he received training in Iran and arrived there on a flight from Syria, a tape of the interrogation released by the Israeli army showed on Monday.

During questioning the man also confessed to taking part in the cross-border raid on July 12 in which two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were captured, the incident which sparked the current conflict.

"We trained in Iran," the man, who gave his name as Mahmoud Ali Suleiman, told the interrogator. "We went from Beirut in civilian cars... to the airport in Damascus."

Suleiman, who gave his age as 22, said between 40 and 50 people went with him for the training, which involved instruction in the use of anti-tank weapons. He didn't say when the training took place or how long it lasted.

The man, speaking in Arabic, said he joined Hezbollah in 2000 and had carried out two operations with the Lebanese guerrilla group, the first in December 2005 when they had tried to take on an Israeli tank entering southern Lebanon.

The second operation was the one in July, when the two Israeli soldiers were seized and eight were killed in subsequent mortar fire and clashes.

In addition to the brief stint in Iran, Suleiman said he had done extensive training at a Hezbollah camp in Baalbek, in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa valley.

NROnline today;

Be Thorough, Israel
Lebanese hope that Hezbollah will be completely wiped out.

In an interview on July 19 with Israel National Radio’s Tovia Singer, Etienne Sakr (a.k.a. “Abu Arz”), a former south Lebanese army officer and leader of the Guardians of the Cedars militia, called on Israel to press ahead until it gains victory in its offensive against Hezbollah. He said that Israel must not allow the Islamist elements in the country to survive the war; Lebanon can be rebuilt.

How funny! I never even noticed the woman interviewing Charles..

You'd make a pretty lousy lesbian.

Amalie,

I can't locate the story right now, but I read earlier today the drone came from Iran.

Shocking, isn't it?

Charles,
I just saw your interview on CNN.You looked younger than I would have guessed.Also your hairstyle was a bit more hippyish than I would have expected.She called the site "green footballs".You would not tell her how you came up with the name "little green footballs" but I am sure some Lizeroid will enlighten me. Good interview Charles and keep up the good work of trying to keep the MSM honest, or at least a bit MORE honest.

I think the orgin of 'Little Green Footballs' is a greater secret than the Coca Cola formula. Don't think anyhone will be able to enlighten you, unless something has been revealed very recently.

I can't remember the Fiskie rules... will Reuters be eligible this year?

Congrats, Charles! I'll be home rolling change this evening for the tip jar.

It is easier to just jump right to Heroin, that way you either resolve your problem or you're dead...but those footballs were fun

I can tell you where Little Green Footballs got its name. You see, Charles
