I posted the following on yesterday's thread. Hope it's okay to put it on today's. So much going on on this.
Today's Kos thread covering Kos's secret instructions to lib-blog pals to suppress the "pay for play" story is all over the blogosphere. Glenn Reynolds on Instapundit.com weighs in. He also provides a link to a University of Tenn. Law School site (Reynolds teaches at UTLS) where he posts some interesting thoughts on libel on the internet.
Mickey Kaus on kausfiles.com joins the scrim on Kos's message to his lib colleagues to suppress the Kos/Armstrong "play for pay" story. "If any of us blog on this right now, we fuel the story. Let's starve it of oxygen. And without the "he said, she said" element of the story, you know political journalists are paralyzed into inaction. Thanks, Markos"
Is that why "political journalists are paralyzed into inaction"? I thought their inaction was due to their and their editors/publishers' adherence to an ideology that encourages the suppression of real news, just like Markos.
Kos's "exploring the possibility of lawsuits" is as laughable as Beth/Pitt/FatChe et al threatening legal action against doubters during Andyscam.
Decked out in his little safari outfit Kos heads off into the bush exploring for justice and is at once stymied by that impenetrable thicket called DEPOSITIONS.
Every politician, every politician's aide, whose name has appeared in Daily Kos would be tied up six ways from Sunday, and Kos's future income from king-making would be effectively shut down.
PJ, I saw CH's vacation announcement. He'll be missed, but good for him and his family. Thought I was going to have to be off-line for a while but careful time-budgeting will let me check in more often.
Your expanding the network of nuttiness to Kos was a well-timed stroke of genius.
And move it from one eye to the other depending upon what he's doing.
Like the bad guy in the movie Firewalker.
Exactly.
I've actually been thinking of selling Li'l Beaver Kewpie dolls but don't know how to go about manufacturing them. BTW, I was once at a local event talking to a woman at a vendor's booth selling nothing but Kewpie dolls. At first I felt sorry for her because I figured there was no way many of those kewpie dolls would sell. A few hours later, when ALL her kewpie dolls sold out, that feeling changed to one of envy. I never realized before there was such a demand for furry cutsie Kewpie dolls but I guess there is.
Both. It refers to The Daily Kos Blog as well as to its head KOmmie, MarKOS Moulitsas.
The mental image would have just made me explosively vent drink from my face had I been drinking anything.
I probably should go and read another, less humorous thread to avoid having my keyboard hate me.
"Arrr! I be Kos the AkKosted! Gimme plunder to say good things aboot ye! Arrr!"
I'm guessing 99%.
"Oooh, look at me! I'm insane!"
From what I've seen 'round these parts, conservatives react to proposals to regulate the internet with hushed silence, followed by the sounds of magazines sliding into pistols, shotgun barrels cracking, revolver cylinders clipping closed, hammers cocking, and lightsabers activating. We don't take kindly to no internet regulation 'round these parts, boy.
No, the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy will overrun the internet the old-fashioned way: by conquering it. All their page hits are belong to us.
See! And with all the nutjobs trying to win one, you could get rich off the backs of the KOmmies! That could be a good thing. Then make contributions out of "their" money into ultra-conservative organizations! hee-hee!
Glad you cleared up the KOs mystery for me. I need to get out more! ;o)
If you ever get L'il Beaver Kewpies, I want one!
LMAO!! For some reason I picture him shaking one of these in someone's face as he says that:
I thought Charles received a laptop as a present. Maybe he could go to Starbuck's in the mornings to update himself on the DUFUs from there. I predict he will relapse and will use the laptop to get his daily DUFU fix.
I don't even know how Kewpie dolls are made. Is there some Kewpie doll factory out there making those furry critters on some sort of assembly line? And where are they located? USA? Most likely it would be China or Korea.
LOL, that'd work!
[Late night explosive rants are always the BEST!]
...especially if the "ranter" is plastered!
"Partisan journalists"? Mary Mapes? Dan Rather? Anyone we know?
I hope Charles will check in. I love his insight! He needs an "aircard" wireless device that can be used anywhere with a laptop. It uses cell signals. They're awesome! Then he'd never be away.....unless, of course, he has lost his mind and wants to be "away"!
Oh, yeah, we were all just quaking in our boots after your Blogosphere at the Stratosphere, complete with free sushi, booze, and chocolate fountain!
