Displaying 31 To 60 Of 60 Comments Arianna’s Marie Antoinette Moment What an overview; what an eye-full. Grist for more thought on my part. Thanks. » Posted By Parsifals On March 7, 2011 @ 11:54 am Invite For Collaboration Part 2: Trust me, it is to save themselves. It is definitely an unspoken pact, but take other groups, Congress, who would have thought Biden was a buddy of Boehner–or Hatch having sun trips with Kennedy. Strange bedfellows all over. 🙂 » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 3:50 pm Cher, you’re great on any team. This is precisely where to begin an analysis, as that may be the best way to expose the hypocrisy. I did a cut and past of one of your posts, but I’ll have to bookmark some of these others. 🙂 » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 3:47 pm Cher, that comment about Salon, that is one of the things to be alert for, Truth, is Joan a friend of AHs? I sure don’t know, but it that kind of thing to be wary of and cautious about in examining the case file. 🙂 — and then presenting it. » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 2:59 pm Absolutely, and several are just cross posting from their own sites, blogs, etc. » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 2:55 pm I was just going to post that it would be helpful to check the cred for individual bloggers and editorial writers at the huff–like Stein. He was rather ugly in the one and only interview I saw him in–a clip from Morning Joe, perhaps. But it also clear other bloggers/writers are probably neutral and/or progressive. I just haven’t taken the time to sort them out (yet). » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 2:53 pm Got it now. I’ll send you an email. 🙂 Take care and stay safe. » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 2:02 pm I looked but can’t see the email address. If you can, please post it again. All I see is 2emerald. 🙂 » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 1:35 pm And, Truth, I haven’t figured out how to get comment responses, so if you don’t hear back from me, it’s because I missed it. » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 12:52 pm If I can help with some research let me know. I am in the midst of a deadline, but I’ll have some time early next month. And some sort of “check, double check” system should be put into place. Ms. Huffington, like others before her, and those to come, will seek injunctions and law suits–something to be avoided. » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 12:50 pm An interesting collaborative idea. Salon.com has a personal blog space where an article like you are contemplating might hit the first round or not. The issue I see is getting hard facts, not suppositions. I am a small town free lance newspaper writer and I know that “facts” are the hardest to come by especially in an environment where we might think we know the relationship groupings, but then find ourselves among the wolves. » Posted By Parsifals On February 20, 2011 @ 12:18 pm I don’t take an avatar name for a gender. It often backfires. It has backfired me for when people assume my gender, orientation or political affiliation counter to who I am. But what I’ve seen, too often, is just people projection, not discernment. » Posted By Parsifals On February 18, 2011 @ 10:02 am I am not an oldie, except in real life, and came to the HP in ’08 and just read the articles. I started to post in ’09, didn’t like the experience as several of what I considered well thought out responses, got hashed up in a pending file. I complained. Got some answers. Turned off my log-in and just read. When Egypt’s demonstration begin I was glued to the screen and my posting skyrocketed, but I don’t fan, and only fav; have only interacted with a handful of members, several of course now here, and see a spiraling down effect all over the Huff–content, posting, political slant, s racism permitted and lots of vitriol, inconsistent moderation, etc. My complaints are myriad, and have only accelerated post the alphabet take over. But I haven’t unsub’d and don’t know if I will. I have no allegiance to Ms. $-bags, but I like to read politics from a wide range of bloggers, newspapers. Occasionally they’ll feature something I don’t get elsewhere. And Ms. Huff was on my radar as not what she seemed, ages ago, so I wasn’t as surprised by her fiscally conservative move–but it did and does disappoint and stick in my craw as another sell-out to thugs with britches. » Posted By Parsifals On February 18, 2011 @ 4:55 am Bill Maher’s Big Lie Contribution? I worked in public health for most of my life and even this kindness on the part of Bush is suspect, and he sure didn’t support our work nationally. More cuts at the CDC and NIH than necessary. » Posted By Parsifals On February 14, 2011 @ 11:48 am I am very impressed with your article. However, I am not a Maher watcher (no HBO) and can’t directly comment on your take. But I can see it coming out of Bill’s mouth. What his aim is remains a mystery to me. What I do know is that the haves and havenots are at war. And however we may want to see folks like Maher as one of the folks, he ain’t and wasn’t and isn’t. It is why folks wondered about his lame interaction with Ms. Huffington most recently. Birds of a feather. » Posted By Parsifals On February 14, 2011 @ 8:06 am Hey Blue, just hello to you. 🙂 » Posted By Parsifals On February 14, 2011 @ 4:44 am Terrific synopsis from my perspective. » Posted By Parsifals On February 14, 2011 @ 4:42 am Following the Rightwing Fashion? As this Egyptian revolution has unfolded and now appears on the move, I am losing respect for more than Mr. Maher. Many of the seemingly progressive speakers on talk shows are showing their true colours when it comes to “might is right” jargon. Just listen to the Sunday talking-heads, and you get the notion that the US can and should influence Egypt’s call for democracy. It is beyond disheartening. And thanks for calling it out. » Posted By Parsifals On February 13, 2011 @ 8:50 am Everything from “Over There” belongs “Here!” I would love to know if there are “clear” rules. I can’t find them, and I’ve written and asked. I’ve left and come back. And only Egypt has had me in post-mode. But one thing I suspect is HP was always corporate or moving towards a corporate model as AH appeared more on screen than in the background; as more sections appeared that seem more like the enquirer, or an entertainment news outlet, etc. I hated the notion of fans; sending me to twitter or facebook and so much more. But what they do have is a good on line, readable format, and it will probably hang as a “good source” for that alone. » Posted By Parsifals On February 13, 2011 @ 9:32 am The State of Education in America Thanks for sharing your POV and the links that may have inspired your article (blog post). Education is always at the top of my list. Learning is as exciting to me as an outdoor sport. Perhaps we can encourage more young people to expand their studies beyond their school room in those towns and cities were they are not offered a full course of “critical thinking” caps and liberal arts. » Posted By Parsifals On February 9, 2011 @ 3:50 pm Doing Business – The Right Way Thanks for the article and your bio. It’s great to know who is behind a small avatar. » Posted By Parsifals On February 9, 2011 @ 4:02 pm American Exceptionalism, American Nightmare Many good thoughts in this piece; several for me to ponder. An while biting, I believe you’ve described some salient observations about AH. It is glamorous to be the “centre” of attention and that has been at play for many months now. But, I was taken aback by the merger, and find myself chastened for not having seen it coming. » Posted By Parsifals On February 9, 2011 @ 4:33 pm If we rely solely on this quote, Caru, absolutely. We have strayed from the centuries past, and while I am not optimistic these days about our future, we are no longer exceptional by any definition. » Posted By Parsifals On February 9, 2011 @ 4:30 pm Good news for the Western part of the State. » Posted By Parsifals On February 9, 2011 @ 4:42 pm I love his posts. 🙂 Hi Pocket Watch. » Posted By Parsifals On February 9, 2011 @ 3:55 pm Expect to see many more HPers. The Egypt thread seems to be in the mood for evacuation. 🙂 » Posted By Parsifals On February 7, 2011 @ 5:03 pm Is that you Rush? » Posted By Parsifals On February 7, 2011 @ 4:05 pm Thanks, good to see you. 🙂 And boy do I need some fun. » Posted By Parsifals On February 7, 2011 @ 4:04 pm Nice to see so many familiar handles. It took a bit to find you all. Hope everyone is doing fine and feeling less stressed. Big shocker w/ the merger even had emails from Guatamala and Puerto Rico. » Posted By Parsifals On February 7, 2011 @ 3:55 pm all three are outstanding. thanks for sharing them. » Posted By Parsifals On February 12, 2011 @ 8:39 amComments Posted By Parsifals
