Some good info on CL: http://www.traces.org/charleslindbergh.html 1: McDermott was never a national hero. 2: McDermott never tempered beliefs or his mouth for the sake of our efforts in Iraq.

Shouldn't be a problem:

Some stuff I agree with--and much that I don't. A bit too cynical and a bit too much unattributed. At least it's well-thought out--unlike Matt's relentless and mindless Bush-hate. If you're going to write such long essays, I would suggest brushing up on the MLA formatting of your text and, of course, including a works cited page. This may help with your next post:

...simply not true:

What he really wants is for daddy to make him a pneumatic potato cannon. He will be the coolest kid on the block.

What a shallow, shallow thing to say.

Ahhhhhh yes...I can still remember when the lure of titties first cast their enchanting spell upon my pre-adolescent pshyche...

Forget the rings! These titties could easily be used to suffocate the pilot.

Hey, I've come to snuff the rooster.

Cant we just all relax and discuss titties like mature adults?

Don't forget to put out your cigar!

Oceania.

Um, Glassgow dishes out more name calling than I could ever give. He's an hysterical tool, and the fact that you are willing to support his "incorrect" claims with nothing more than a weak-knee suggestion to 'Google it' based solely on your hatred of Bush says a lot. Next time you make or wish to support a claim, try giving it some teeth with a fact-based link...and a reality check.

That's not surprising.

I could make the outrageous claim that "Obama is a Muslim jihadist"...but to then tell readers to "just Google it...you'll see!" would be ridiculous. You, sir, are in a box without holes.

No Bush connection other than "Texas". Cheney was a businessman in 1997. The Taliban had only recently taken power. 9/11 was still 5 years away. Sounds to me like we were trying to work with them in a productive manner. Glassgow's statement remains a bald-faced lie, and Matt's suggestion was both lame and lazy.

Goddamnit! I posted an objective response that established that one of the premises (Taliban leaders visited Texas) is true, the other not true (Bush hosted them...although a conservative blog I searched indicated he "gave approval for the visit"); I passed no judgment otherwise! The fact that is was in 1998--pre 9/11 and pre GWB as prez--is also relevant, don't you think?

Actually, the quote you attribute to me was in response to Kevbone's claim that Bush has 'shredded the constitution, and ground the economy to a halt'. When someone like GGK posts an outrageous claim the onus falls upon he or his defenders to pony up. Matt's suggestion that I "just google it" was dumb and lazy.

So MattP's semantics are defendable, but GLassgowkiss' statement is allowed to stand? It simply isn't true.

Entertain me.

We can drill horizontally north into Canada and suck all the oil outta their shale too.

I've always been partial to horizontal drilling.

Pump North Dakota dry!

It's the sudden drop in blood pressure too. What's the one about skydiving? "It's not the fall that kills you--it's the sudden stop."

I am speechless…….you would vote for the guy who brought the US economy to a standstill? And ripped up the constitution? Wow! I know there are crazy insane people out there……but FW…….jeez…… Because neither of the two things you assert are true.
