So true, "Usually they're so caught in questioning the motives and patriotism of whoever proposed them." The bit about twitter and facebook, also brilliant. Like seeing my fictional congressman, William Cummings too.

I am so ready for a new thread...

The Onion is awsome, there is some ideot on Boehner's facebook page that uses Onion on some of their moronic rants as a reference to their case.
I guess the person just doesn't get satire.

LOL!

Did the Onion hit another home-run?

More Comedy from Pam on the AOL Huffpo purchase....

This is another stunning victory for the uber left in the information battle space, in the war of ideas.

AOL has agreed to purchase that libelous, anti-semitic trash site, the Puff Ho, for $315 million dollars. I am shocked, but not. When the left loves you, the most ridiculous is impossible. This could never happen on the right. Yes, Salem bought Hot Air from Michelle Malkin for an undisclosed amount, but it was chump change next to this, and even they are licking their wounds. Monetizing these babies is well ........ tricky. But not for the Puff Ho.

What a scam. Huff Po claims to have "turned a profit" in 2010. Knowing what I know about the net, just barely, if that. Those clowns at AOL bought an idea. They are going to lose their shirt on this. Perhaps it was the 20 million uniques a month that conned them. But they have lost any semblance of "balance." The Huff Po is rabid; is that the image AOL wants? I bet lots of rational, sane Americans will bail on AOL.

Ok, I watched it. The weathercam was good. The rest of it too!

I really liked the weathercam.

And now, Iowa...looks like a lot of snow there.

Of course, the Geller-thing's concept of a "rational, sane American" is a fascist-sympathizing swivel-eyed loon who checks every night for stealth jihadis under the bed.

Funny how quickly she goes from 'stunning victory for the uber left' to explaining how it will never work.

She's an idiot but AOL once had the world by the tail and they fucked it up. I'm sure they'll screw up Huffpo too.

Ted Turner Sends Self Back In Time To Prevent AOL Time Warner Merger

New feature in the LGF Referrers page tonight.

I restored a feature that was dropped during the conversion from flat files to MySQL, with enhancements -- you can now show the search requests that led visitors to LGF. Occasionally there are some interesting and off the wall searches, among the constant searches for porn, the Interweb's most popular commodity.

re: #15 jaunte

75% of AOL subscribers have DSL... According the the New Yorker as written about by HuffPo 60% of AOL profits come from people who don't actually need their services.

I had a very interesting conversation with a professor today. We were talking about religion (One-on-one meeting), and I mentioned the recent conversion I had. He, without any previous mention of my religious background, said that I was probably a Southern Baptist before. He then explained his reasoning of what must happened to cause me to go from one to the other (there were other roads aside from the issue with the Trinity I had). While that was a cool conversation, it did raise a few questions. I'm beginning to wonder how many others like me there are after that conversation. I would love to hear thoughts about this.

The professor is a High-Church Episcopal for the record.

Who uses AOL? I don't think anyone in my address book has an AOL address. I can't remember the last time I even heard "@aol.com".

re: #22 BishopX

So a full 60% of AOL's profits come from mostly older misinformed customers who don't realize that they don't need to subscribe to AOL to get online.

They may have made a mistake in raising their pr profile.

I didn't know about your conversion. What do you mean by "others like me"? I know very little about Southern Baptists.

Parlor trick. High Church Episcopals have Pope-dar, so he knew you weren't Catholic. What else would you more likely be than SBC?

re: #27 ggt

I'm starting to think that part of the reason Southern Baptists are so Anti-Muslim is that they are losing people to Islam, is I guess what I am saying. I think I mentioned the conversion before though.

I actually just remembered that one of my Muslim friends is a convert from the Southern Baptist branch of Christianity too.

re: #28 Decatur Deb

He didn't say. To be honest, I saw a poll which showed that most converts to Islam in the came from some sort of Protestant church. Strangely, Catholic converts were fewer in number than those who were previously of no religion(?).

re: #23 ProLifeLiberal

Probably a cradle one too. Still we get more of our membership from conversions (more ex-Roman Catholics these days) than any other source so we tend to be used to talking about the process.

The SBC is also, alas, very good at chasing out anyone who doesn't go along with their attempts at a very creedal theological purity in a very non-creedal denomination.

You probably did, but I just missed it. I also didn't realize the Southern Baptists are losing people to Islam. Doesn't really suprise me.

I've really been out of the loop.

Snicker. "Pope-dar" I have to remember that one to "innocently" ask my priest about.

I find Catholics also have it. We know our own kind. Even if we haven't been to church in 30 years . . . .

Even worse than yahoo commenters because I've seen the Obama is the anti-christ crowd turn a nice story about Slovenia electing an African immigrant as mayor to attack Obama. Was a nice story for Slovenia which happens to be the homecountry of my mom's paternal grandparents.

A mayor of Slovenia is going to attack a POTUS because they are both of African descent?

AH no. Slovenia elected an African immigrant as mayor. And the Yahoo freakzoids were "warning" the Slovenes to beware of black elected leaders. Must be easy to be a dick behind the anoyomity of a keyboard eh? The way these people hate on Obama is just pathetic.

My math challenged brain got stuck on trying to figure what what percentage of the total that would be. Under 40% is my best guestimate.

Quick, someone needs to buy them a copy of "Robert's Rules of order," it beats the shit out of me who "Robert" was but he certainly did write a good book. It is still the standard for all committee meetings hundreds of years later...
