I’ll pay closer attention to typos hereafter though. My most common one occurs when I use contractions like doesn;t.

For “pwns” you’ll see that the o is right next to the p - just becomes a purposeful typo rather than a mistaken one.</p> Whenever you’re confused by things like “teh” or “pwns” just look at one of two things. either re-arrange the letters (for “teh”) or check the letters around the ones used in the confusing “word”.

‘Teh gay’ puzzled me for a bit till someone pointed me to the reference point. But at least I could guess at that one.

The one I’ve seen 3 or 4 times that’s puzzling me now: what the heck does ‘pwns’ mean?

Seems like I had words with this guy before the election in 06. He was running the same kind of scam on Kerry. I believe he was even using the same screen name. Said he’s been “…walking point for the past 25 years…” for MIA/POW issues. Funny, I don’t remember seeing Kiley’s name attached to official stuff from the serious MIA/POW organizations. I think this guy’s more pathetic than Jim O’Neil and his hate relationship with Kerry. I told him the same thing I did two years ago - that I didn’t appreciate him trying to smear the service of combat veterans. Kiley’s bio shows he was in the rear with the beer. Just another scumbag. He’s linked to Congressman Duncan Hunter, if that tells ya anything.</p> I’ve exchanged emails with someone who calls himself StealthActivist from the site.

These Beltway journalists have imbibed so much Kool-Aide they just can’t get away from the spin. I can’t remember when I’ve heard an honest discussion of any issue on WW. I no longer bother with Newshour.</p> I don’t know which is worse, Washington Week or Newshour. These Beltway journalists have imbibed so much Kool-Aide they just can’t get away from the spin.

O dear, a mistake; slip of the tongue. Get over it. For her to play that elite theme against him is absurd; she’s not exactly a high school drop out. Why is she demeaning her own self just in order to sing the R’s tune?</p> And I think her attacks on Obama are so irksome and bring to mind the slime of the attacks from the other side.
