Start Conference in San Francisco
I also noticed that MetaFilter is a sponsor of the event
I wonder if this has anything to do with none of my FF extensions, such as ad block, obliterating this ad?

sex can be pretty hacking even without any effort, as much as one (or more) can 'sex' w/o effort.

Why is it so 'cool' and shit to slag on konolia? That's low-down and common. Pricks.

Well you sit here in my couch and whine
Maybe you had your hopes too high
Well there's always complaints
And ball and chains
There's always a loss or too much fuss
Come on... Get your heart out of your crotch
Every month the same routine
Hopeless love and endless dreams
You're a dramaqueen...

Sunday, the 29th, just happens to be my one-year Mefi-versary, so we can do this again soon. Who will bring the pie?

As I said previously, next Sunday, just randomly, by sheer chance, unless time/space dimensions shift, just happens to be my one-year Mefi-versary, so we will let the light in here and have a little fun, neh?
If the Vikings were so great where are they today? eh? And Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome does not fucking count.

A is for an excellent grade mark. A is for A1,the suace or the general term, or even A1A, the hwy. A is A-OK. A is for Awesome. A is for A+++ would buy from again. A is Alpha dog. A is apple pie, antioxidants, America, absolutes, amazing adorable attributes.
A is not only the inital letter of the first global alphabet, but the first vowel as well. A is angels, air, ass and ah-ha!

Not About Tim Russert
Are you saying that people should stay out of obit threads unless they have something nice to say about the decedent?
I know you are asking me, but I'd like to take this opportunity to say "Yes."
And to also quit playing God with the relative worth of any given human soul v. another based upon ones personal petty politics which the deceased no longer give a dern about.

The worst things is, is, Johnny Cash is dead. And John ritter, who had the double misfortune to die on the same day. Sorta like C.S. Lewis dying the day JFK was shot. He had a secretary named Lincoln you know.

Springsteen, as highly venerated as he is, is still not appreciated enough. In perhaps 50-70 years....he is the quintessential rock star singer song writer social conscience folkie. He, Townes Van Zandt and Dr. Dylan are the holy trinity of music that moves and matters over the the past 50 years.
(I'm not counting the old blues men here, cause that's a different genre.)
Of course this is my opinion, but my opinion is the best in the civilized world.

timsteil, I didn't see yr comment, but I've had qite a few deleted that I didn't really understand, but I just figured I had inadvertently crossed a line. of course I have, on occasion deliberately crossed the line.
Was yr reply a direct, non-snarky answer to the (to me weird) question OP posed?

Yeah, in 5th grade, back in ' 73, I had a black kid accuse me of being a slaver. while I recall that with a chuckle every few years, I never had any moments of self-doubt about my role in the slavery of Africans in the US.
I thought that was chat-filter, but then I tend to like chat-filter.
But really, that's a legit ask me question ?
anyway, I love everybody and feel cosmic vibrations. Or perhaps thats my hemorrhoids.

Personally, I am responsible for peoplekinds original fall from grace. Occasionally I sit on a Louisville slugger vertically, but it's becoming counter productive, as I've grown to relish those penitence sessions.

re MetaMan, the thing that amused/frustrated me about him was his...who was that guy in Iraq early on who always gave news accounts that sounded like things were peachy keen in Mesopotamia.
That and 90 plus comments in one thread. And the total rejection of any disagreement.
However I have communicated with him via MeMail, and he is a decent sort and I wish him well. He's just become 'more than his name', as in shorthand for "my eyes are closed and my fingers are in... [more]

Please, for the love of all that's holy
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run."

Clinton Obama Filter redux
It's...nauseating to watch Drudge manipulate the press and thereby the word. One weird dude, with undeniable genius, controls the political news cycle. And people who claim to loathe the man listen to what he says is important.

Drudge is nothing of the sort.
well, I'm no apologist for the man, but how else can one explain his playing of the print and broadcast sycophants and his obvious impact? It's senseless, but there it is. He matters in that game.

CL, I may be wrong and hope I am, but yeah, I think those rags do the story in order to get linked. Who reads the NY Post, really? I just see him as a supersized drama queen, buzzing around stirring the shit, making things appear worse than they are. I'm for free speech and against the Fairness Doctrine, so good for him, but I do tend to think he has more leverage than any one man should. Again, I'd love to be shown to be wrong.

sorry, I think I was sorta talking over you, I agree more than disagree with yr statement. My answer, I think this story would be a lot less dramatic and probably never linked here sans Drudge's breathless coverage.
