I am a leftie. I do not wish to hide this. I am too old to care what others think. If I am vilified, so be it.
But we had a new blogger approach us as a newbie and he decided he would just play with science, on what he felt was a political blog.
I said Hey Dog, Its all ok. We do so much here than just the political
Oh but we are all lefties.
Well read my friend, Justice, read my friend LisB. Read my
friend Miguel recently. Read Missy. Read
Auntie Sam.
Hey, it can all be TRANSLATED INTO SOME POLITICAL issue. All history is really political.
But take a look at the STANDINGS, as it were. We have TheraP who leads us all as bloggers here. Quite an accomplishment. Wow. My TheraP. I would not be here without her. She comes and greets newbies, without preformed ideas, without bias. Hi, I am TheraP and I really like your blog or comment. Yeah she says it all the time. But not without reading it. Not without comprehending the message.Hi, howareya? TheraP or LisB or Quinn the Eskimo as I call him. They say, hi how are ya?
I still have not reached the point of all this. Ha
I am listing the top bloggers. TheraP with no qualification is the leader.
Q and LisB are really two and three on the list.
I mean Josh, the founder is really not a blogger. I mean he does not post and then ask for comments.
Secretary Reisch is not a blogger in the sense that he would respond to a comment. Hell, he is nationally known and renowned.
I read all the big journalists and experts at TPM. Hell they
are cited on cable
TV. All the time. In
person or just by cite.
But read our top commenters and bloggers sometime. And then read the rest. It is fun.
What is the point of this Blog? To just pat ourselves on the back
No!!!
Quinn recently commented on some religious channel here. The blog had something to do with why we should despise all gay people because it is against God's Law.
Q links the guy to Queen. And he does it with aplomb.
Somebody told me, hey dd, you are funny. Hell, Q has this talent of being
inappropriate, appropriate, discourteous and courteous at the same time. I mean
I have been an aficionado of National Lampoon, Mad Magazine, Monty Python, SC
TV and SNL for many decades. But really,
if you read his comments, I doubt anything really equals Q's comments while
taking into consideration the context of those comments. Oh Q can be political.
No doubt. But he surpasses the normal boundaries. He takes everything a bit
farther as it were.For example:
Why thank you, Dick. I'll be expecting my complimentary Shamwow Anti-Flu Facial Mask in the post.
And now.... a tribute to the man who started this whole thread. Come on, sing along with Georgie & Queen. It's for Freddie.
I went nuts when I read the Queen comment. This was so hilarious. So much fun. I thought about it for more than an entire day. I sent everyone I know over to the blog just to read Q.
Miguel of course, my friend, showed up and made me laugh even more.
But Q said he was sick of politics for a minute. LET US TRY SOMETHING ELSE. Let us try a contest of sorts. So, I thought, why not.
Q wanted a blog about NOTHING. Total irrelevancy. And he wished that I would simply 'hand out' topics of discussion.
Now, I really wish to have recs and comments here.
But we wish that you take a topic and GO WITH IT. I mention look at Miguel because he just did that in his Sunday Facts column. Ha. Miguel is so damn funny.

Well Folks, these are just a few of the questions I have had after almost years. Anything you have that is not on point, is welcome here. Forget my old rules about relevancy, they are erased.
As I will be after my 24 hours.
But remember, you are really erased after thirty minutes at Salon.
