I am JOE’s jealous rage for missing the trolls today.
veralynn
they appeared to be having a great time huh GI? They will be back, they know you are here.
GIthePotato
HA!!! Preemptive war against the right over healthcare.
GIthePotato
This should bring the lurkers and trolls out.
GIthePotato
So Drudge and Rush have been issued gag orders by the Obama Administration?!!!!VIVA LA FAIRNESS DOCTRINE!!!
idreamofskiba
Yes yes yes on the David Sirota thing. He’s always on our local morning radio show and he’s getting pretty annoying. I don’t even read his pieces on Huffington Post anymore. I don’t think anyone could ever live up to his standards.
ceu
do you suppose they’re having a Darwin Association Dinner, too?

So how soon before the trolls come here freaking out about the Drudge/Limbaugh/McCoy lie about the government making decisions on your health written into the bill… that wasn’t written into the bill?
ceu
pretty soon, Carl. That will be FACT before 10
GIthePotato
BC, Rush and Hannity have been repeating this lie for weeks. I believe Drudge was the last to jump on this bandwagon. Don’t worry, our President doesn’t qualify stupid remarks.When the fuck will the MSM stop playing House GOPers crying into the camera about how they were, “Shut out of the process”?
jane
Okay, what’d I miss? Besides the return of my personal troll?
GIthePotato
You have your own troll?
ceu
you have a personal troll? wow! Are you one of the rich & smart, then?Obama’s speech is pretty good. It’s so nice to not race for the mute button every time the president speaks…
jane
It’s Cnn, or chris or cs or something, calling himself seejane. After I chapped his ass.
GIthePotato
Do I have to sleep with a troll to claim it as my own? I haven’t done that since I was in college….wait…
jane
Joe, I just talked him off that one time on the phone.
veralynn
ceu saidObama’s speech is pretty good. It’s so nice to not race for the mute button every time the president speaks… I think that is the best thing about his getting elected, well that and he laughs at himself, I just love that!

Ahh, the personal troll-it replaces the roomba, doesn’t it?
GIthePotato
Jane, can I have one of the new trolls? Pretty please? I have great plans of making them say something so horrible that Bob bans them with fifteen minutes.
jane
Joe, I think they’re afraid of you. (Me, on the other hand, I’m just a girl.)
gypsy
i would rather battle gi than jane! well…i am actually scared of both of you! =)
ceu
If you’re captured by the enemy, don’t let them give you to the women…
I bet you could kick my ass, Gypsy. But that Joe guy? Yeah, fuck him.
Kat
Rachel is talking about Gregg dropping out. Personally, I’m totally cool with it. And at least now Obama can say he tried if people bitch about including the Repubes.
idreamofskiba
I want to see Jane fight some trolls. Their all smart and fro freedom.
Teh Minx
Hey Everyone! Jane does get all of the good stuff, doesn’t she? First, the underaged-Internet-really-cool-girlfriend and now her own, personal troll.
gypsy
i normally let my poor grammer just stay out there (mainly because i am unaware it is wrong) but “of both of you” is SO wrong isn’t it?!jane i think it would be a decent fight! two north carolina girls fighting?! blood would be shed…
GIthePotato
You sure fooled them with the girl thing, Jane. Hell, I have fooled all you for months now. I am not really a liberal. I am the leader of a neoconservative counterinsurgency task force to embed myself in liberal blogs for FBI/NSA probing. HA, fuckers you are all going to Pakistan within days after receiving your letter in the mail. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!
jane
Heh, Joe said ‘probing.’
gypsy
not buying it gi! from my “cops” watching i know undercovers can not touch the perp! that rules jane, myself, and broadway carl out! hehe…
jane
It would explain the misspellings, Joe. (*ouch*!)
Teh Minx
Dear Gyps,Would you be my Of-Age-Internet-Girlfriend?Signed,The Minx
gypsy
i would be honored to slut it up with you minxy!
GIthePotato
Nice burn Jane. That hurts really really hurts.Gypsy, what part of BUSH pissing on the Constitution didn’t you understand over the last 8 years? You don’t have any rights. They are privileges and they are and can be taken away.
GIthePotato
I fucking love Paul Reichkoff. He is the shit!
jane
I am Joe’s Desire For Conflict.
GIthePotato
My Penis?
gypsy
well, could you move a little to the left then.
jane
That’s friction, not conflict, Joe. And Kat answered your question about ‘Saddlebacking’ on the other thread.
GIthePotato
Where is UIG with her dick/ball comment counter?On a serious note, is “MERCANTILISTIC” a real word?
Teh Minx
Oh, Gyps, you are so sweet!! I promise that you won’t be a disappointed in the sluttery department & I won’t share my Slanket with anyone but you (unless we’re having a party or something). ; )

FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER LIVES AGAIN!!!

Carl -Why is it OK when the insurance companies tell your doctor what to do?Is being a prick OK if you are making a profit doing it?Compare and contrast:1. A for profit insurance company must approve all medical procedures before the procedure will be approved for payment. The insurance company can refuse to pay for any procedure they don’t want to pay for.2. A not for profit organization provides a list of approved procedures and allowed fees for each. Procedures on this list will be payed for without prior approval. Procedures not on the list require prior approval. Not all procedures are available, but alternative treatments can be arranged with consultation with the medical provider.====================Health care has been destroyed by ‘profit’.We need to find out how to use Troll dung for energy. I’m afraid it won’t be clean energy.
jane
Git, when was that little exchange?
Lyle
Everybody must have gone to bed. GI, potatoes don’t have rights either, except in Idaho and P.E.I.I am so tired of Lincoln. CNN was on in the back ground this morning and it was non-stop Lincoln. Surely there was something newsworthy going on somewhere on the planet or neighboring solar systems.Perhaps not.
Carl -Yes, what they said was a lie, but worse than that, the insurance companies already do what they pretend only national health care would do.I am sure we all know people who have had procedures refused. I certainly do. Sometimes they even refuse things like bypass surgery which are hardly experimental.

Not lurking, per se. Just don’t have much to add tonight, but I did do my share to beat back the trolls during the “coarse” of the day.
ceu
do you suppose they’re having a Darwin Association Dinner, too?Posted by: ceu at February 12, 2009 8:22 PMYup, they do. I know you’re all relieved to hear that.
jane
Chris, this…>>I smell a Darwin Award.Posted by: dontpanic23 at February 12, 2009 10:38 AM…is my nominee for QOTW.

Exactly, Git. I took a respite from the television machine today so I didn’t catch this story until KO, but I’m seriously doubting that anyone mentioned that insurance companies refuse treatment on a regular basis. I don’t even know if KO mentioned it. And you absolutely know that of the 14 million dittoheads that listen to Jabba the Gut, a percentage of those have been scammed by big insurance.
ceu
I’m watching a show on The Science Channel – What Darwin Didn’t Know. Pretty good. Repeats at 1 am EST
SillyGit
Carl -Nice job spanking Kyle Smith.We’ll have lots of propaganda about health care to fight. They will have the A team out on that topic.
Mike H.
That was one hell of a speech. That is why I love our president.
GIthePotato
Daily Show GO!
SillyGit
Chris -Thanks for the Science Channel heads up. I’d like to see that.I’m one of the 2 out of five that thinks Darwin’s theory is pretty useful. The other 3 are misinformed.jane – TY for the link to BC’s blog.
Hello, Mike! When am I getting that ride that you promised??
jane
Does Jon Stewart have that effect on you too, Joe?
http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl
Git – Thanks for stopping by my blog. Jane – Thanks for linking it. Your check is in the mail.
GIthePotato
Minx, I have been confused by that for days. I am the other brother. Not Mike. Mike is the (o)(o) guy. I am the ninja killing guy.
GIthePotato
I am going to dick tap Colbert for that Reagan comment.
jane
Joe: She’s not talking to either of you. Sheesh. Mike H.
idreamofskiba
Glen Beck’s eye thing – WTF?!
SillyGit
GI -If you are still about, here’s one for you.The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the latest twist on a technique that atheists have used for some time to point out the absurdity of a ‘Supreme Being’ or ‘Creator’ or God.FSM was invented to combat the Kansas Intelligent Design campaign to teach religion in science class. The fellow (I forgot his name) that postulated the existence of FSM as a God created an outstanding self consistent mythology that is an excellent parody of religious belief systems.Before the FSM, there was the Invisible Pink Unicorn. It is believed that the IPU came into existence in the usenet newsgroup alt.religion.atheism sometime in the mid 1980s. Exactly who is responsible for this God is unknown to me.Atheists use these pseudoGods to demonstrate the inherently ludicrous nature of literature that discusses God. Wherever the word God appears substitute IPU or now FSM.How would our money look with one of the phrases:”In Invisible Pink Unicorn we trust.”"In flying Spaghetti Monster we trust.”"In Fairy Tale Characters we trust.”Consider that our money does have:”In God we trust.”To an atheist this is no less ludicrous than the first three. I like invisible pink unicorns the best.OMIPU, he’s godless commie! Run away. Run away.Atheist prefer OMIPU ever OMG.If we ever elect an atheist president, what will he/she swear on? I’d swear on the Foundation Trilogy (Asimov) or Stranger in a Strange Land (Heinlein).
Git,Awesome. I need more info on my new ideal.The reason our money says, “In God we Trust” is because in the United States Money is God.When people say that you should put your faith/trust in God they really mean the banking system. Just like God said that he will provide everything for us and we can test him with our tithing the banks work the same way. They tell us what we need and if we ask for more than they will give it is the will of God that they don’t give it to us and we were being greedy for asking.

Adding…Sorry QT. I thought it was safe to trash God at this hour.
AdyLeigh
Did y’all hear about the plane crash in Buffalo, NY? I guess, it was a Continental flight from Newark to Buffalo…48 people were on-board. All the pictures look very, very bad.Jane: I agreed with you over at TPC about that picture of Bush and Rove together..,man, that’s bad enough to kill everyone’s sex drive for at least 7-14 days.
SillyGit
Ady -I missed that story. TY for the heads up.Any picture of Rove OR Bush is an instant erection killer for me. Putting them together in one picture has the same effect but it also makes me ill.GI -How does one trash a figment of ones imagination?
Ady -Heh, disturbing picture indeed.It reminds me of the R. Lee Irmy line from Full Metal Jacket:”Texas???? Why nothing but steers and queers come from Texas. Which one are you son?”Of course with Rove I always think of”Squeal like a pig…”
