Why I bothered, I could not tell you, but I told them that it would never happen, that the Senate needed to get to 67 votes (and we barely had the Senate at the time) and that it would all look to the nation as a witch hunt. For which I was excoriated as a lick-spittle lacky of BushCo. Bugger the Puritans. It is an insult (usually) when I use it. Lorenl is a puritan, but not a flaming pain in the ass about it. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 2, 2009 @ 11:49 pm Just so. He is not fighting all the fights I want fought, and he screwed me on telecom immunity, the bastard! But he is the head of my party and he will need to diddle me a good deal more painfully to get me to turn against him. Damned Puritans prefer life in the the opposition to being in office and having the responsibility of governing. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 2, 2009 @ 11:32 pm So, I’ve seen a few ideas on how to promote HuffNo Friday, but nothing earth shattering. I’ll continue spreading the word (which is how most of you are here), and I hope that the rest of you do what you can to advance the cause. The fantasy? That there be a hollow sound at Huff on Fridays as the woo woos and the trolls shout at each other. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 2, 2009 @ 7:06 pm Oh, he is plenty smart. Just no soul. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 2, 2009 @ 7:09 pm I heard this asshat interviewed today by Patt Morrison. Jesus, he gave me the creeps. The exact opposite of Bratton. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 2, 2009 @ 7:08 pm The Failed History of Conservatism in America What in the hell IS a conservative? And how does that differ from a reactionary? » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 7:10 pm Suits me fine. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 2, 2009 @ 10:36 am Well, I am glad that it apparently was much ado about nothing, but there certainly was ado and from people that I trust and respect. And I couldn’t imagine why LadyNaga would sign off like that if there was not some fire behind the smoke. I asked for an explanation. I got one. I’m good. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 2, 2009 @ 10:24 am Many people that I respect tell the story in a way that does not flatter you. But if you want to give me a link to the thread, I’m happy to look it over. Until then, you are on probation with me. So you closed down your own profile? Why did you do that? » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 9:26 pm The conversation over there has it that you were bashing LadyNaga in a very nasty and personal way. I like ladynaga. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 9:08 pm OK, the two youngsters squabble all the time. There is a very nice male hanging around mooching food at the job I’m working. No tags, three years old? Healthy and friendly. I might bring him home. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 8:48 pm Grumble. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 7:18 pm Plus you have thirty cats. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 3:27 pm I’m thinking that we could have a page one and a page two. The authors would be asked to discern if their submissions were more page one or page two. (There would need to be a box on page one listing the titles on page two) Page one being debate and analysis of issues of the day, page two being humor, gossip, political snark, etc. Thoughts? We would need the “editorial board” to occasionally weigh in and say “this really is more of a page two column”. It would be up to the author to move it or not. And that would really all be about traffic. The fact is that we have a very satisfactory surge in traffic here. And some of it is more weighty than is other bits. Either that or the “editorial staff” could have a “permanency rating” say one to five, and weigh some articles as more durable and therefore more worthy of remaining on the first page, and others to be less so, and to thus slip more quickly off the first page. I don’t like that suggestion as much for a number of reasons. Not as voluntary for the authors, and a lot of work for the “editorial staff”, who, let’s face it, have a sex life to keep up with. But I would be less pleased if someone spent a few hours researching and writing a column, only to have it pushed off the page because Hairyanna did something else outrageous and six of us felt the need to author a column excoriating her. (We all know she is a butthead.) » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 1:42 pm Well, I am actually OK with having lost my moniker if it meant jump starting this site. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 1:30 pm If you guys want a real hoot, you could create a moniker and share the password, then all comment as fast as you could. That could freak a troll and then some. But keep that at huff, would ya? » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 1:29 pm Depending on your browser, you can use the “find on this page” feature and type in your moniker. I am in firefox and the feature is at the bottom of the page. That way: if the page jumps around, I find my posts quickly, and I find replies to my posts quickly. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 1:26 pm A New Way To Fight Right Wing Trolls on HP AC is a little turd. » Posted By KevenSeven On November 1, 2009 @ 3:30 pm I am pretty sure they have that ability. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 31, 2009 @ 8:18 pm Flippy is a flaming asshat. I detest it. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 31, 2009 @ 8:17 pm We are not talking about “conservatives”, which, frankly, are a rare bird in my experience. We are talking about trolls. And reactionary assholes. And racists and chauvinists. I would welcome you identifying a regular poster on Huff who is a “conservative”. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 31, 2009 @ 6:41 pm Yer welcome. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 31, 2009 @ 6:36 pm HuffNo Friday – Topic of the Night – Which Way Afghanistan? Tuckered. Good night. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 30, 2009 @ 11:23 pm The Saudi regime exists because of deranged religious fundamentalists. Three hundred years ago the Wahabi sect sprang up and the corrupt forebear of the Saudi “royal” family struck a bargain. Let me become king and I will make you the official state religion, with a monopoly. Saudi Arabia in many ways is one of the most primitive societies on Earth. Sure as hell is no place to be a woman. One cannot conduct a war against terrorism. Terrorism is a tactic, like hitting the enemy on the flank is a tactic. Deranged religious extremism is a movement. One can fight movements. Although I agree that the war on deranged religious extremists is first a law enforcement and intelligence issue, and a military issue well behind that, the fact is that the FBI is not going to arrest bin Laden. That would be special forces if we ever get the bastard in the bag. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 30, 2009 @ 11:22 pm I’ve heard stupider ideas. But one city would not do it. Your proposal sounds a lot like what Obama is said to be considering. One ugly fact is that any presence beyond a few thousand special ops would entail fighting and American casualties. And America is losing patience with this. On a purely cynical political slant, the Dems will suffer politically if we do withdraw. The Rethugs will shout it to the roof tops. I don’t want to run away from Afghanistan, but I have no good solution to the issue. The fact is that there is not a decent road in the whole country. Some Afghani farmer grows grapes or tomatoes, loads them in the truck, by the time he gets to market he has juice to sell. They grow poppies because they get to market whole. Why don’t we buy all the poppies? Seeing as they are GOING to grow poppies. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 30, 2009 @ 9:15 pm Tough to come up with a plan, eh? I don’t envy the president. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 30, 2009 @ 8:48 pm And the Tali appear to be willing to fight dirtier than anyone else. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 30, 2009 @ 8:35 pm It is the deranged religious extremists that are cutting the noses off of girls how dare to go to school. The Tali is indeed a threat to the US (though manageable) and to the people of Afghanistan. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 30, 2009 @ 8:33 pm The thought of Afghanistan descending again into barbarism is deeply troubling. » Posted By KevenSeven On October 30, 2009 @ 7:15 pmComments Posted By KevenSeven
