Displaying 18,481 To 18,510 Of 19,504 Comments The Earworms Are Coming! (Friday music thread!) Still running around and out of town, will be back at ya soon! » Posted By AdLib On November 27, 2009 @ 4:20 pm That’s a different song, Inside Out which she also loves. This one starts: Put your hand on your head (hand on your head) » Posted By AdLib On November 27, 2009 @ 4:18 pm Because my 6 year old daughter has somehow picked The Traveling Wilburys out of the wide and varied music collection of her parents as one of her favorites and the Wilbury Twist keeps twisting through my head:
» Posted By AdLib On November 27, 2009 @ 3:54 pm Mo’s been an Author since he joined (a very appreciated one!) and can edit his post through his Dashboard whenever he chooses. » Posted By AdLib On November 27, 2009 @ 3:41 pm It’s members like you that make The Planet an oasis. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, Khirad. » Posted By AdLib On November 27, 2009 @ 8:49 pm Cheers javaz, thanks! » Posted By AdLib On November 27, 2009 @ 8:46 pm Nice overview Mo. Add to that the conveyor of ocean currents that brings warm water from the south up north to Europe for example. If the temperature dynamics that keep that conveyor going shift in the north, the conveyor could slow or cease and Europe’s coasts would have the potential of freezing in the winter, colder temperatures could result year round and cause all kinds of problems. » Posted By AdLib On November 28, 2009 @ 2:56 pm My take on that is that there are naturally Republicans who are managing partners in Oak Investment Partners and they don’t want one of their investments going too far in attacking someone who advances their political and financial interests. » Posted By AdLib On November 28, 2009 @ 1:25 pm One point I haven’t seen made yet is that HuffPo was in the midst of selling a $25 million, $100 million valued stake in HuffPo to Oak Investment Partners when Bill O’Reilly started publicly attacking HuffPo for hosting hate talk against Bush and Republicans. Voila! Instantly, horribly oppressive controls on bloggers were slapped on and though the extreme degree was eventually dialed back a but…after the $25 million was secured, the censorship of members and the heavy control of comments and articles to shape the corporatist message the site promotes is now deeply rooted in the site. » Posted By AdLib On November 28, 2009 @ 12:33 pm Oh yeah, it was about two years ago this month I started at HuffPo and it was a very different place there. Trolls were rare and when they appeared, members wuold just mention to flag it and within a few refreshes, the troll’s comment would be gone. There used to be a sense of camaraderie at Huffy back then and a very good rapport between Mods and the members. The HuffPo of today bears zero resemblance to the HuffPo I joined and began my blogging “career” on. I am very pleased though that the collegial sensibility that used to be there and some of my original friends now reside here at The Planet. » Posted By AdLib On November 27, 2009 @ 8:39 pm The problem is, the trolls and the cliques will still be on such a thread in full force. These things don’t always go as planned. The repression and word filter will remain in full force, it’s a site wide thing. Having members in a pressure cooker all week there then sending them to an open thread…well, it would be interesting to see how it would go if it ever happened. » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 10:03 pm LOL! » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 9:53 pm To mark HuffPo’s recent fervor in banning top bloggers who dare to criticize them, killing music threads, here’s a message aimed right at their sorry little heads:
» Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 8:22 pm As Kalima says,we’ve been considering hiring a Staff HuffPo Deprogrammer who, in honor of Sen. Franken, just uses the Stuart Smalley mantra: “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!” » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 8:13 pm Barney Sings the Alphabet. » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 8:07 pm Is my Huff profile dead? Well, it was coughing up blood last night. » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 7:58 pm I never wanted to do HuffPo in the first place! I…I wanted to be… A Planetarian! Leaping from thread to thread! As they float down the mighty tubes of the Internet! With my best mouse by my side! We’d blog! Blog! Blog! (SINGS) Oh, I’m a Planetarian, and I’m okay, CHORUS: He’s a Planetarian, and he’s okay, he blogs all night and he sleeps all day. I cut down trolls, I eat my lunch, On Wednesdays I slam Huffy’ Oh I’m a Planetarian and I’m okay, » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 7:53 pm Oh, I’m sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour? » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 7:43 pm I am often asked, “Adlib, can we say ‘fuck’ here?” Unfortunately, due to the sophisticated and easily offended artificial intelligence self-censoring server this site is on, the GoToHAL 2009, “fuck” can never ever appear in a post. Not only that, no post will escape GoToHAL’s electronic CensorMaster filter if it contains the words, “shit”, “asshole” or “Arianna, you’re brilliant!” It’s fucked up, I shit you not. » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 7:39 pm Looks like HuffPo served MrCreosote a “wa-fer theen meeent”. Always look on the bright side of life. Just remember that you’re standing on a Planet that’s evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour. Here…every post is sacred, every post is great. If a post is wasted, Mod gets quite irate. No one expects The Huffish Inquisition! And now for something completely different… » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 7:26 pm Hadn’t seen that one before, so funny, thanks!!! » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 5:46 pm Q: What is the difference between The National Enquirer and The Huffington Post? A: One traffics in suspect and sensationalist stories, celebrity news and gossip to profit from exploitating its readers and the other…ah hell, I can’t tell the difference! What are the most popular stories on HuffPo as of right now? Here’s the list from their front page: =========================== Most Popular on HuffingtonPost Pirelli’s 2010 Calendar PHOTOS: Topless, Muddy Nudity, And SO… Katie Couric Dancing: Party Pics Of Anchor Letting Loose… Adam Lambert FALLS At AMAs, Simulates Sex, Kisses Band… Kate Hudson’s Near NSFW Slip At AMAs (PHOTOS) Palin 2012: SNL Gives Viewers A Glimpse Of Horrifying… Palin Supporters Struggle To Explain Why They Support Palin… Michelle Obama Pictures UPDATE: Offensive Image REMOVED, Google ‘SORRY’… JLo FALLS At The AMAs (VIDEO) ============================== Now, you tell me the difference… » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 11:43 am Bring your long, serious, honest and decent posts here, Mo, they won’t be treated like that here. BTW, you can always link to them at HuffPo and if they wipe that link, just put it up again. » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 11:33 am Nice to see you, FeedUp! » Posted By AdLib On November 25, 2009 @ 9:50 am Thanks for the musical interlude, PatsyT, enjoyed it! » Posted By AdLib On November 24, 2009 @ 10:00 pm Cheers UncleB and welcome to The Planet! » Posted By AdLib On November 24, 2009 @ 9:27 pm Hey WLA! Long time no see! Welcome back! » Posted By AdLib On November 24, 2009 @ 9:22 pm Abbyrose, a warm welcome to The Planet! So pleased to have you join us! » Posted By AdLib On November 24, 2009 @ 9:20 pm Lucky girl, you sure scored with parents like that! On the flip side, think about the poor kid whose parents are Teabaggers, marching with signs portraying Obama as a Nazi. Poor kids, they’ve got a lot to overcome. » Posted By AdLib On November 24, 2009 @ 9:17 pm All we have is cranberry juice, will that do? Nice to see you Dreamers101! » Posted By AdLib On November 24, 2009 @ 9:12 pmComments Posted By AdLib
