Big Peace : Mubarak Resigns, Hands Power to Military

Sat, 12 Feb 2011 02:01:33 +0000

I'm also curious: Why does any country need "our sumbitch?" We've always had our own "sumbitches"... why can't the other countries have their own? Sure, occasionally one of them will get out of hand, but for the most part these things tend to work themselves out. Perhaps that's our biggest problem: Sticking our noses where it's neither needed, nor welcomed. I have to say, if you've been relying on "our sumbitch" for your business success for the past 30 years, I can understand why you'd be quaking in your boots right now. ;)

"Brutha-hood"...? Wow, that's really educated. And not at all racist. Massive fail.

Really? How did we "perpetulate" this? LOL!! I guess we flew a few hundred jetliners of "shadow protestors" over to Cairo... non-stop from San Francisco... :p LOL!!

Can you name any U.S. president that has been able to control events in another country? Bigger, better question: Why is it our business to control what happens in another country?

Question for the fearmongers (including Cowboy Logic, Whats_Up, Obamaphobic)... If not Mubarak... then who, or what, **specifically**...? Can you be more specific about what *you* think is best for Egypt, rather than just parroting the same fear and paranoia that your propaganda outlets feed you? This has been the most laughable aspect of the past two weeks: Watching certain crackpot extremists melt into a puddle of hot, babbling screed, because citizens of a comparatively democratic Muslim nation have had enough of their 30-year "president?" Can someone please explain how that works? How do you have a "democracy" **and** a 30-year president? Mubarak has more in common with Castro, Mogabe, and al-Gaddafi than Bush, Blair, or Wulff. How can you love freedom while supporting a 29-year dictator? As to the Egyptian people and religious extremism, I'm somewhat reminded of that old cigarette ad from the 1960s: They'd rather fight than switch. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/3365.aspx Thought this bit of "sludge" was pretty funny, as well: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_d... Of course, that Drudge headline isn't there anymore. Swept under the rug, *POOF* like everything else. Why answer for your mistakes when you can just make them disappear?

Big Peace : I Don't Have A Lot Of Sympathy For Those Journalists Attacked in Egypt

Little sympathy... but a whole lotta patronage. Look at the front page of this very web site. Look at all the news stories: Associated Press, Reuters, "USA Today," "Military Times," American Free Press. Face it, Demhater: If you had to rely on your "new media" for actual news from the other side of the globe, you'd know less than you know now.

I Don't Have a Lot A Lot Of Respect Fake Journalists Who Spend All Day In Front Of A Computer So, Peter Schweizer doesn't have a lot of sympathy for the people doing all his hard work for him? Why not? Schweizer, Breitbart, Drudge, and others sit in front of their laptops 18 hours a day, loading their site with links to the work of other journalists... and then thumb their noses at these "liberal hacks" when they get hurt on the job. Why don't Breitbart and Blackfive and Publius (scared and hiding) put their money where their mouth is? Do you own field work. Send your own correspondents to the scene, instead of piggybacking onto the work of others. "I don't have a lot of sympathy for farmers and ranchers who get hurt on the job. All those animals, big pieces of farm equipment. They made a foolish decision to go out amongst these things, and they weren't prepared." "Neither do I have a lot of sympathy for cooks and chefs who get burned or cut on the job. A kitchen is a dangerous place--all that fire, all those sharp knives. They made a foolish decision--they weren't prepared." "Okay, now that that's out of the way--let's eat!! Somebody pass me the T-bone steaks. Andrew, would you get the baked potatoes going around the table? Publius, how about some tossed salad and some of those hot, freshly-baked rolls? Mmmmm, boy, isn't this good?"

Is anyone else noticing, on this day when race is on everyone's mind... the ad on the front page of this web site? The ad for... AfroRomance? "Where love is more than skin deep"...? I understand that these ads can sometimes rotate out with each click on the page, but... really?!? AfroRomance?? Really??? :D

Andrew Breitbart and Mike Flynn: One or both of you please "man up" and explain what happened to the initial posts in this thread that were mysteriously "erased" in the early hours of Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Other users, such as TexasRancher, have noticed problems. You have an entire web site at your disposal. Is your self-induced race-baiting orgy so engrossing for you that you can't lift your head out of the smash-mouth slop trough for 45 seconds to put up a quick alert on the front page? "Technical problems on some pages. We apologize for any missing comments. We're working hard to get those restored for you!"

There were quite a few posts in the earlier batch that called this site, its owner(s) and editor(s) into question. Were those perhaps too uncomfortable to let stand? It will be... instructive... to see if those earlier posts return. Or if certain folks have taken a lesson from Mr. Drudge, and just deleted things that suddenly become... "inconvenient."

Shirley Sherrod... meet Alexandra Polier. The two of you should get together over over lunch, and compare war stories about this wonderful thing called "new journalism"... and how it's anything but. http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/politics/national/f...
