I must admit I immediately thought of this whole thing the first time I saw a post by Josh Marshall trying to do talking points (small T & small P) for the administration on the healthcare.gov problems. I definitely thought: well, he certainly has experience with trying to manage and make excuses for shitty software rollouts.

LOL...

The truth is, AA, it wasn't you. The TPM site software has all been nationalized and is being forced into use on the Obamacare web-site. They need to get the Obamacare site up and running perfectly by the end of this month, y'know, and they are now so desperate, they have contacted Josh Marshall to help get healthcare.gov up to snuff ... so to speak.

Unfortunately, that means that they have replaced the TPM site with the programming from the original healthcare.gov roll-out. Please be patient and expect long delays and spotty prevarications until this matter is ironed out. P.S. Did they tell you that you can't keep your internet connection past Dec. 31st? ;-)

Just saw now.

Shall I wasting in despair

Die because a maiden's fair?

Or make pale my cheeks with care

Because another's rosy are?

......................................................

Be she meeker , milder than

Turtle dove or pelican

If she be , not for me

What care I for whom she be?

...............................................

Quit, quit. For shame,

You shall not win , you shall not take her.

If of herself she will not care

Nothing will make her.

The devil take her!

Maybe, its just hard for me

Maybe, its just hard for me to separate out the playful interaction from the topic. I can't help thinking, "My god, give the poor guy a break. It has been three years, you know."

Maybe I'm wrong but I got the impression that Richard just enjoyed the playful interaction between commenters on this thread. It's not the topic of TPM per se, but the social side of it, a group of people who interacted somewhere else now interacting en masse again. Like revisiting photos of a school reunion...

Could just be age. Most

Could just be age. Most people tend to masturbate less as they get older. I'm just a bit curious why you want to discuss the frequency of your masturbation here. If this is another one of your very important issues there's lots of good therapists and discussing that with one of them would probably be more productive.

I guess I'm just inconsistent. I have trouble holding a grudge over what I saw as some bad behavior by some web site owner over three years ago. But cling to it if you need to or give some good explanation why you think its relevant now or what ever. It just seems petty and silly to me.

I dunno!

But I did just re-read some Freud lately.

I thought it illuminating.

And it has curbed my masturbatory habits of late.

Why reread this blog again?

In reply to I'm sorry but the only reason

Why reread this blog again? Really, why?

Yeah it was a good discussion back then. And yes, Josh fucked up and treated a lot of loyal readers, bloggers, and commenters poorly. Many of us are here because we felt we were treated badly.

But what is the value in bringing it up over and over and rehashing it? I've kinda gotten over it and moved on. What is the particular relevance for you in rereading it now?
