Sometimes you have to dig through quite a bit of dredge, but there is alot of good analysis that goes on here.

Personally, I could do with fewer kitties, and I think John oughta tune the software to automatically add "It's Bushes fault" to each thread.

But it's one of the finest places for breaking news on the web, hell, we got 50,000 reporters!

Hell, I was called a Troll not less than two weeks and I've be around since May 1998.

Wow, they had trolls in 1998?

[carlr]

If you were a woman, you'd understand.

Penalty flag thrown:
unfair use of the feminine wiles.
Just above the statement that some concern is about "female problems".You know that will send a man running to the hills faster than just about anything else.

38 minutes.

I think that's some kind of record.

[stuartcr]

That's true...it does.

If I reply, does it go to leapfrog, or Michael Goldsberry? Either one, is anonymous.

I see "Retread City" is missing a tire.

lol!

that should have read "not less than two weeks AGO"....but yes, there were baby trolls back in the last millenium.

OTOH, one can never have enough cheese.

> But it's one of the finest places for breaking news on the web

Definitely!. Just about every story in our local paper covering U.S. or world news I've already read on FR. Even Rush is reading the same articles that have shown up here.

What Rush and FR excel at is the analysis and educated opinion on the events of the day, and the give and take of ideas that goes on here.

With the New Media paradigm, the MSM becomes increasingly irrelevant

Say what you will about ol' Rushie, I enjoy him. Anything that gives me comfort and gives me a break from my three little boys, is good in my book.

He opened my eyes to a lot of things. I probably would have gotten there on my own anyway, but perhaps he expidited things.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Yes.

Either one, is anonymous.

Okay.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Well, until a good political scandal comes along, we'll just have to bat around the trolls...... ;^)

[hole_n_one]

You've never read any of my replies, have you?

[rock58seg]

What are you complaining about. Trolls live under bridges and hit people up for money as they pass by.... uhh.. wait a minute...that's the homeless and illegal aliens.. Nevermind..

welcome anyway.

[pissant]

If you're gonna whine, then the DU might be more to your liking.

[deport]

Say what you will about ol' Rushie, I enjoy him.

We all have our taste and our taste change over time, or at least mine does. I enjoyed him immensly for the first few years but about the mid 90s or so I got to where I really didn't care for his stick. I've not listened to him in years now and don't miss his banter one bit. But he is still the top rated draw in talk radio, thus he's a got a large following.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Relax, my friend. This is not a ZOT thread.

[djf]

Some trolls do live under bridges.


Fremont troll, Seattle

[pissant]

I don't care. Sounds like a whiner to me. There's too many here already. ;o)
