Some months ago, I started a discussion at Salon Table talk after I noticed letters to the editor here in South Dakota so goofy they read like satire. Unintended satire now has something in the neighborhood of 2000 egregious examples.

Salon Table Talki..Letters Unintentional Satire

Sometimes the seriousness of the actual problems is obscurred by the flood of idiocy…which also amplifies the seriousness ironically.

The Stratfor Group is right here in River City, er, Austin, TX.

Mr. LittleDog has been going there for the best info for a long time.

FWIW, he used to read that Israeli insider outfit, Debca?, but they couldn’t have been more wrong about Saddam, the WMD and the beginnings of the Iraq invasion, so he doesn’t put much stock in them.

I have no reason to think so, but I’ve always wondered if Adm. Bobby Inman has something to do with Strafor. He’s here, too, and he seems (still) real connected with the intelligence community.

I am so, so, so sorry to hear about your losing the pup, and the jeopardy the other one is in.

We’ve lost some little ones, too, and it just seems like such a . . . such a damn waste.

I’m really really sorry.

FWIW, I like the formula that’s canned milk, yogurt and egg. They seem to do well on it, and yours has already gotten the colostrum it needed, I expect.

hey, is firedolake becoming like eschaton west coast?

anyway, i’ll end my blathering with…

BISCUITS!

it’s our country, divided tho it is, we should have a say in how it’s run. and not to sound like one of the rightwhiners, but considering what i’ve seen from their side i am not entirely opposed to the idea of revolution.

i mean what choice is there when you’re confronted with the definition of bi-partisanship as being “daterape”. diplomacy, compromise, liberal, all good words.

one last thing via the ‘fallacy’ discusion the other night. i probably wouldn’t care, but “we” are losing the so called “war on terror”, and worse, being changed fundamentally as a nation. that’s why it makes a difference.

ok, i lied, BISCUITS!

op99,

I think the reviewer is slavic, and probably doesn’t recognize “Condoleeza” as any sort of traditional name.

Which I guess it isn’t.

Then we would need some staff to inform us when to use which knife to cut through which piece when and so on

oh, siun, (186) that is just disheartening.

John in Sacramento — that is beyond my ability to process. “I have no response to that.” And how many people will literally die because they can’t afford medical care!

Things like that make me wish for a nanosecond there was a hell for people like that guy and the board that voted him the $$.
