I was unfortunate enough to attend that bullshit-a-thon (pardon my French) about four years ago. I nearly had a stroke when the closet queen/emcee said that the "freedom (is) the main reason we need to re-elect President Bush",(Fortunately, the crowd was composed mostly of morons who either didn't vote or would have voted for Bush anyway.) I finally walked out when he dimmed the lights after lunch and told us it was "time to talk about the ultimate motivator - Jesus Christ".

It was a dreadful morning - just right for Rudy.

Welcome back!

No, don't check first. Really, don't. Waste our time, not yours. There are a lot more of us, but we matter a lot less.

It would take you too long to scan a few days of postings. I mean, that would take at least two minutes in an RSS reader. What kind of very important news editor is going to take time do THAT as a courtesy to readers?

Readers? Let them read duplicates!

It's easier to just spew. Spew spew spew ECB ECB ECB

Guiliani probably has a pretty good pull with the sort of conservatives that live on the eastside, and he fits well with the "taking credit for doing nothing" tough-guy cop image Riechart has

Luckily, my old boss is only a greed-based Republican, not a fake Christian Republican. (It's not really her fault: she was born in Eastern Washington, and met a Belevue-ite at at a UW fraternity party her first week of college. Poor thing never really had a chance)

I think she was sensing that it was a bad idea. But when the Jesus talk started, she knew all was lost, and joined the rest of us in the walkout that I started.

To passively-aggressively show my annoyance at her, I gave five bucks to a homeless guy at the Seattle Center right in front of her. I thought she would have an aneurysm. I bet she and her husband talked about that all the way home to Clyde Hill in their Land Rover.

Note to ECB : see how I scanned the comments to see if somebody had already noted your pathetically lazy ass? See how that works? (Things being what they obviously are, this is a sort of Zen line of questioning, I realize - but what they hey.)

We'd rather not moderate your comments, but off-topic, gratuitously inflammatory, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate remarks may be removed, and repeat offenders may be banned from commenting. We never censor comments based on ideology. Thanks to all who add to the conversation on Slog.

Now I know. And knowing is half the battle...GI JOEEEEEEEEEEE

You, sir, are a moron. Now, GTFO of our little blog.

kthxbye
