Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.)

I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention.

You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on February 10, 2009.  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

How about an “overcharge” button?

[jpl]

“There’s nothing special about Britain,” he reportedly said. “You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment.”

This is a diplomat? You've got to be kidding. I would have his ass for making such an offensive and insulting statement.

Surely Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knows a few of her husband’s former staffers who can find a replacement.

But no slurpys...

[King Moonracer]

Slurpies....arrrrggghhhh. Screwed up a Monica moment...

[depressed in 06]

America needs a reset button for 4 November, 2008. We need an election lemon law.

[WoofDog123]

the article goes out of its way to not imply this was intentional, but the more I look at it, it seems almost certain it was.

Surely the WH protocol officer hasn’t been fired and a flunky brought in?

The proper translation of the Russian “peregruzka” is “Overload”. Lavrov made a mistake himself too. It may be translated as “overcharge” but in a very narrow meaning of the electrical current, and not in a money sense. The normal meaning of peregruzka is overload - as in pilot/cosmonaut/astronaut’s g-force, or too much stress (on humans or on construction elements).

I bet he doesn't feel that way about the 57 known Islamic states. Where have I heard 57 states before?

[GOPJ]

According to London’s Daily Telegraph, the Obama administration says the president was too tired.

Ummm, he plays basketball and works out - not too tired for that..

[Sig Sauer P220]

The U.S. needs a reset button on this past election.

[USA means Freedom]

The Lemon Law!!! lol

[beachn4fun]

Ummm, he plays basketball and works out - not too tired for that..

Or to attend the numerous parties and movies and theater performances......

[DesertRhino]

Are you kidding? There are 57 islamic states? THAT finally explains it.

[thecabal]

The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organisation with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 member states, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkans, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America.

Imagine an American candidate for president bashing the French on the stump.

Hmm, that would work.

Seriously, don't mean it. France is a better friend these days, thanks to the voters of France.

If Gordon Brown wanted a royal reception and adulation, he should have slipped a bag of cash to the bag man on the way in; that’s how it works in Chicago.
