Great Thread

If you have Mozilla or Firefox, go to Bugmenot's site (www.bugmenot.com). Down low on the page it will mention the FireFox extension. Download and install (takes a few seconds). Once it's installed, go to a site, right click, and Bugmenot will show up in that menu. Click it.

I won't besmirch this thread by posting this disgusting cartoon from The Guardian, Britain's most anti-American newspaper. But if you want to give your blood pressure a boost go here:

That's the one that got me too....typing through tears....

Cool....I DL'd Firefox last week, but I'm a little afraid to use it.

Its taken a long time to get my IE6 set up so that I can basically whip around and do just about anything I want it to do.

What can you say to settle my fears and convince me to use Firefox?
Do you think it superior?

bump!

I can give you my experience:
I have installed and uninstalled multiple versions of Mozilla and now Firefox over the years. I have never had a problem. [Unfortunately, MS's latest hotfix has messed up my IE6--grrr-- it hangs now.]
I can't think of a reason to fear using Firefox. Yes, I do believe it's superior to IE6. Set it up. Import your IE6 bookmarks. Try out some of the extensions. [This Bugmenot extension is wonderful.] Let me know if you have a question that I can help with.

Some of the logins don't work, but oh well. It is a new service.

People should post on every thread that needs excerpted...that would help it get some mass appeal.

Too bad the media couldn't have been this cordial to Reagan when he was alive.

I won't post it here, but there is an awful cartoon here:

E-mail this loser, named MArk Cohen: smartart@comcast.net

There are some other bad cartoons. I note they all have Jewish names. I guess the stereotype that Jews are leftists is correct.

This is from the palm beach post, it is intended as an INSULT
in keeping with the DNC talking point.

BTW REAGAN may have been civil but the DEMCRATS were pure
partisan venimous rats in those days. THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED ONE IOTA.

[RichInOC]

Oh, my. I enjoy flatulence jokes as much as almost any other red-blooded American male, but that's just wrong.

All I can say is...it's bad enough for Steve Bell and those like him that the American pols they support have kept getting beaten over the last several elections. It must rankle that much more that they keep getting beaten by a guy that Steve, and at least some of them, think is a chimp.

I saw a very interesting observation about "Bedtime for Bonzo" last night. Since Reagan, an FDR Democrat at the time, did object to the strong Leftist/Communist influence in Hollywood at the time, he was blackballed by a significant number of studios and directors. He didn't complain, but had to take work where he could find it. He could have been as big as John Wayne, his close friend. He was certainly the better actor, IMHO.

Maybe it was God's plan that he find another outlet and not get trapped by superstardom. We are certainly fortunate in that. But, as I say, it was a major AHA!! for me to see that Reagan was suddenly demoted to B-movies--not by lack of talent--but because of politics and '50s-style PC.

[longtermmemmory]

I was speaking to a colegue about the whether or not the court was going to be closed. He launched into a tirade that the courts should stay open because Reagan laid flowers at the German tomb of the unknown soldier. Apparently that is the DNC whisper email/talking point to keep jewish voters from going to bush. Bush is like Reagan, he will lay flowers at the tombs of unknowable deadpeople.

So the DNC is saying

If you are Jewish: Don't vote for Bush because he is LIKE Reagan.

If you are NOT Jewish: Don't vote for Bush because he is NOT LIKE Reagan.

Ahhh the wonders of double speak.
Big Brother loves you.
