From The Daily Howler, a site that tries to dispel the myth about the Liberal Biased media.
Part of a new series on the Liberial Bias in the media:
THE LOGIC OF LIBERAL BIAS (PART 1)! The Boston Globe accused Kerry of war crimes. Are you struck by their great liberal bias?
Kerry can be dissed by shitheads far to the right of him, or far to the left, in almost identical terms. The Globe is extremely left.
But Peter,
Doesn't this series dispute the idea of a liberal bias in the media if a leftist newspaper disparages a leftist?
JPB:
Peter is an ol'friend. I go back, pre-Diane, on the Yourdan board. I remember Peter from there.
I also remember what he said after the 2000 election. It was something like; the economy will grow and jobs will be a dime-a-dozen. Spending will decrease and government will stop being so intrusive. I could go and lookup his post, but I am lazy. That is ths jest of it. He predicted a heaven and not a Pandora.
Like him but don't place much trust in his views.

Z, you have me confused with some individual who thinks opposite from me.
Peter:
Sorry, if I misrepresented your viewpoint. If you remember the old board, Anita always confused you with INVAR. Maybe, I did the same. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Back to Bushes and Bush?s election [or whatever it was]. It reminds me of some other bushes. In the seventies, we ordered Mugo pines. Now this wasn?t from some fly-by-night organization; it was from a major nursery. They claimed they were genetic dwarfs; only get 3 ft high. They are now 20 ft high. We have a major snow storm coming in. The birds are roosting tail to nose in those pines. They love them.
Moral, you may not get what was advertised, but someone benefits; it just may not be you.
Best Wishes,,,,,

Z,
We are under a winter storm warning until Sunday morning. Right now it's a near white-out. I can't see across the street. In the future please aim your moldy weather at Lousville.
Z:
Any whiff of a suggestion comparing me to INVAR should not really cause any worries regarding my reaction.
BUT YOU'D BETTER WORRY ABOUT INVAR!
Z on the back peddle and not too gracefully either. Peter, my friend, I think you just managed the unmanageable.
Z,
If I may call you that. I was at the old greenspun board, lurking, with the occasional post when I found some idiotic theory in my area, databases, since August 1999, so you must have me beat. Remember Mutha Natcha? Who was she? <BLOCKQUOTE><font size=2 face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><table border="0" width="90%" bgcolor="#333333" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"><tr><td width="100%"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" bgcolor="#FF9900"><tr><td width="100%" bgcolor=""><font size=2 face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Kerry can be dissed by shitheads far to the right of him, or far to the left, in almost identical terms.

JPD:
I don't regard Kerry as a leftist at all. Yes, I read the piece. If the Globe did the same thing to Fat Ted, I might reconsider.
JBT:
Remember Mutha Natcha? Yes. I know who that was but the person asked not to be "outed". You can find them at about 123 N in the Puget Sound area.
I have been up since 2 am putting together a report. It has snowed today and another storm is moving in. At lunch, I looked out the south windows and there was the ol'herd of wild turkies. I counted 50. There were the few usual males but the head male was along. He is well over 40 pounds. He is funny. I go outside and run at him and gobble. He flairs his tail and his neck feathers and runs at me and gobbles. Cheeky bastard. We call him Carlos. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Well back to work.
Best Wishes,,,,,,

Carlos, I believe that Z just called you a turkey. Wondering wattle be your reply.
Lars:
When people think of the turkey, they think of the domestic turkey. I would never refer to someone as a domestic turkey. That would be like calling them a Republican or a conservative. You know: someone without the sense that the Good Lord gave a rock. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
If you spend some time with the wild version [as I do since they control a large part of my property] you will find that they are different. They strut and bluff; still they back it up. A month ago I saw them gang up on a fox and send him howling. The pup gives them a wide berth, because he knows better than to bother them.
You have another storm coming your way. Good luck.
Best Wishes,,,,,

"cheeky", humph! Z, my hopelessly self absorbed friend, your stuff is entertaining but never suspect it's more than that. You're not bad when you can leave the you out but one gets tired searching for pearls in the swamp.
Z, you chase turkeys and gobble?
I have a whole new picture of you in my mind. [img]eek.gif[/img]
