Zed!

Aloha, Laura!

OT, but I just had to do it! Hahahahaha! Keith has the epitome of names listed underlining qualifications of our esteemed GOP candidate: John McPaid!

You can Digg this post HERE!

Now, Kirk, you know that Zed is dead…

What! When did Zed die? If Zed is dead, what is the new Zed?!! So?!!

snif

say it ain’t so!

Zed, Just to say…I hope you got an email.

I really like Laura Flanders. FDL has been my introduction to your voice, Laura.

Thanks!

Firepup Freedom Fighters:

Din’tcha get the memo: “Zed is dead…long live Zed and the Republican National Committee.”

Laura ranks up there with Rachel in my book…! ;-)

Phooey, not when I can snag it, it ain’t dead…!

The zed is dead. There is no zed.

Wordpress used to label the first comment on a thread as comment “0,” but that would flash only for an instant, and then become comment “1.”

Somebody around here got the idea that “zed” meant “zero,” and started calling the first comment in a thread the zed.

Actually, “zed” means “z.” And the current architecture of FDL no longer produces “zero” comments. So it never made sense to call it the “zed,” and now it makes even less sense.

The zed is dead. There is no zed. There never was.
—————————————————–

I prefer to think of the first comment as “the first comment.”

And to make the first comment something witty but pithy that is relevant to the subject of the new post.

But that’s just me. Your opinion may vary.

Yes [I like Laura Flanders too]. However my local AA station replaced Stephanie Miller with Lionel; I HATE him!!! I have to tune to the local “all talk” station, which also carries Bill O’Reilly, to catch Stephanie.

Just watched the NBC interview of Chimpy.

He sure does have a wide stance…

zed is the soul of pith…..

I don’t often have cause to criticise Keith Olbermann, but he just said, multiple times, “cement” when he meant “concrete.”

Every thinking person should know the difference.

Was it Chimpy with Richard Engels? Or another?

…but relevant to nothing. (is that a pun?)

I’m not sure who it was with, but it apparently was played in an edited version this morning, the white house complained about the editing being misleading, so Keith showed the entire interview unedited, to demonstrate that it makes Chimp look worse than the edited version did.

I am thinking it was probably Engel. He called him out on Iraq success and the “beehive” of Iran. W sounded like (because he is) a complete and out of it idiot.

I guess I should have paid more attention to who the interviewer was.

In any event, boosh looked awful.

Help some of us thinkers out!

It was Engel.

Air America has left San Diego…

And they did talk about “success” in Iraq. Boosh talked about his version of “success” and Keith dissected it with counterpoint about what is actually going on in Iraq.

It’s posted at M&C, if yer interested, LS! ;-)

Great. I’ll go read it!!

Cement is a powder used in the production of concrete. Concrete is a material made of cement, sand, gravel, water and air.

I used to work with highway engineers and they would not allow these two terms to be confused.

The AP Stylebook gets it right.

It is a very common error.

KO does a special comment tonight!

I guess I saw the edited part. But what is so good about Engel is that he has been in country almost the whole time, so he knows what is going on there….not like he has not been on the ground and seen the whole thing develop. How nice the 2nd version did not help.

He’s rawking…! ;-)

Excellent!! A must read!

I thought they’ve always said there’s only about 2,000 AQ in Iraq….propaganda, propaganda, propaganda…they just lock up and/or kill any Iraqi that doesn’t agree with Bushco.

Heh, “Why do you hate the troops?”

Thanks, CT.. You are the go to guy for the latest Iraqi info in one place!

Cement is the binding agent that bonds the other components together to make the stuff that many houses are built upon, a slab.

New post

Mahalo, ES and LS! *g*

Zed, being the fundament of all, is an appropriate anchor for any comment string.

(not to mention so pithy it has to wear a helmet).

What was his topic?

Hi – I’m a producer on GRITtv. I want you to know that the All That And More refers to the latest bit from AgitPop “Don’t Bomb Iran” and two new pieces from Robert Greenwald’s Brave New Films.

Here’s the linky goodness from today’s videos:

Now I have to go have dinner . . . thx for watching the show!

Maliki’s recent ’surge’ in Mosul and the wide spread arrests he’s conducted there…!

1,847 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen neurophius:

“Zed is dead. There is no zed. There never was.”

Is there an echo in here…the zed has been dead since the first comment on “Wordpress”…but like the “zed” in the White House, the thing jest won’t go away.

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, THE BASTARDS WON’T GO AWAY BY THEMSELVES!!!

Before Zed, it was Fitz! We finally got beyond Fitz, long after Scoots was pardon and free as a bird, so Zed got adopted. More recently, several of us have taken to mimicking Cheney’s comment to the American people regarding their conclusion that the Iraq war has not been worth it. It is our tribute to ridiculing Cheney. It is irony; it is sarcasm; it is parody; it is pithy. Any questions?

Citizen Ann in AZ:

“It is irony,it is sarcasm, it is pithy. Any questions?”

Yeah, where do we spit the “piths”?

KEEP THE FAITH AND DON’T EVER TAKE YERSELF SERIOUSLY!!

RevBev, if you sent me an email, I fear it was buried in the daily spam avalanche. If you could re-send, I’d be most grateful.

LisaG – have a good dinner and thanks for your work!

Where’s the bathroom?

Another two great episodes. Thanks Laura, Lisa G, and the web guy whose name I can’t remember.

I will do that….the message line says New Orleans. B
