I know I’m very late to this game, but I’ve been in the hospital for a week (it’s a long story, but I’m fine) and am just catching up. I just wanted to tell you I love your blog. I really loved it when it was Jane and Christy; as an attorney who also has been obsessed with the insanity that was and is Plamegate, I have been an avid reader of Christy’s astute analysis. Finally, I have enjoyed the changes and additions, but I have to say that the addition of TRex is just the best. I love, love, love you, TRex, you big toothy monster!</p> I’m a long-time lurker from way back in the Blogspot days, actually even the pre-Christy days, and this is my first comment (just have no time, you know?)

Anyway, it was the place to go for Plame info. I was infuriated at the Plame disclosure treason as my son (now retired after 20 yrs) is an AF veteran, and served in both those damn mid-east wars. Jane and Christy almost match my fury with their passionate furies. When Bush did his ‘Bring it on’ stupidity, I really almost lost it. Thank you so much for all your good work - you cannot know how very much I appreciate how much you do. lq</p> I started reading FDL soon after it started (Atrios link, I believe).

FDL keeps me somewhat sane in these less than sane times. Since I work crazy hours, I’m always catching TRex’s rants and enjoy them with a good LOL!

I cannot post comments at work due to corporate censorship.

Sadly enough, I work for one of the networks and can only post a message when at home.

PEACE

I didn’t get to post sooner because I am just swamped at work. I first came to FDL over a year ago because I read some very mean-spirited comments about Patrick Fitzgerald by that crabby bitch, Clarice Feldman. I needed to balance that out with some good vibes.

I have stayed because you, Christy, Jane and the regulars are just great! Very knowledgable and insightful. Thanks for letting me hang out!

Were any questions actually answered in this thread? After lurking for quite awhile I was excited about having some guidance but all that seems to have turned up here is various regulars commenting to and about other regulars. Is there a REAL introductory thread somewhere?

I’m not sure I read through the whole thing before I jumped in, but were there any questions asked? What did you want to know?

Last night between 11:00 and midnight I was channel surfing during a commercial break on either Stewart or Colbert. Clicked on Fox News and there was a banner saying that Iran had agreed to stop enriching uranium. Then they cut to commercial. Switched to CNN, nothing….switched to MSNBC, nothing. Finished watching Stewart/Colbert. This morning I expected it to be all over the news, but, alas, nothing. Did anyone else see this? Anyone Ti-Vo Fox news? Can anyone shed some light on this?</p> OT-Help me solve a mystery. Last night between 11:00 and midnight I was channel surfing during a commercial break on either Stewart or Colbert.

Marty Lederman has more.
