Though much is taken, much abides.
Don't give up (not that you would). What you do matters.
Probably an extremely stupid question (so I apologize): have you looked up the old websites through Wayback machine? Possibly some of the content remains there?
Thanks for all you do.
It seem like just yesterday, I remember when someone like Sloppy Steve Bannon who is found guilty by a jury of his peers would go to jail.
While in jail he could appeal his case if he felt he was wrong accused and found guilty.
Today you merely need to not only be wealthy but well connected to get that special tree house club justice system privilege.
Hey, silly question. Have you thought about adding a 1.25, 1.5 etc. playback speed option to your podcasts (on PLP if not here)? It helps us old people get through things a little bit faster.
Totally no big deal if it's not something you'd like to do, I just know I'd appreciate it, and I expect others would as well.
Thanks for your podcasts; thanks for keeping some actual history; and thanks for all you do.
The twisted steps of DFB's supposed logic you quote has always reminded me of the song "I'm So Cute" by Frank Zappa:
Ugly is bad
And bad is wrong
And wrong is sinful
And sin leads to eternal damnation
An' hot burnin' fire
Hot burnin' fire
Hot burnin' fire
Hot burnin' fire
Screams of agony
Screams of agony
Screams of agony
Screams of agony
Arrrrrrrghhhhhhh!
There are certain personal connections that develop on liberal blogs and a certain hierarchy that they still seem to follow. You highlighted Thomas Ten Bears' blog "Homeless on the High Desert" (or Cassandra's grandson) on MBRU once and I was happy for him. He, like me, is a long time commenter at several blogs, including Comrade Misfit's "Just An Earthbound Misfit, I", where one time she had posted a meme (god damn it, "Meme" is a word coined by Richard the fuck Dawkins to describe the information version of a gene, grumble grumble) about anger management, and I posted a comment saying that I know a biker who once baited his anger management instructor into swinging on him and then proceeded to kick his ass in front of the class, and TTB responded with "Do I know you?" Well, not as such, but you might as well...
