Whee! On [slashdot.org], one of the many lame aspects of the programming that has recently come to my attention, is that yo-yos can moderate comments even when follow-ups comments can not be posted.
Who the hell programmed that?
Still, even the lamest programming has the Tao in it.

Hello! You've got points! [ancient greeting, origin unknown]
I have a tremendous amount of respect for the vast majority of veterans. I salute you! My father, rest his soul, was a veteran and a long-time user of veterans benefits for panic attacks and injuries he sustained as a pilot in the second world war.
G. Bush the senior was a pilot, and served his country admirably, and I salute him.
But let's also talk about cowards, and veterans, and draft-dodgers.
Dick Cheney- a war-mongering coward. "other priorities" past vice to a commander-in-chief. moral relativist. torture advocate. calls himself an american
The scrub- defender of the South, not South Vietnam. Pilot, drunk, and cocaine user. Former commander-in-chief and Puppet Dictator. Coward, and not too bright to boot. amateur attorney, interpreting the Geneva Conventions on War.
Want to fight about it?
Happy Veteran's Day, America. Things are looking up.
Whew, that felt good. I'll have to do that again.
Perhaps you are familiar with some koans of buddhism:
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
How can a mountain take 3 steps?
But have you ever heard the koan:
When is a counter-terrorist a terrorist?

Looks like there is an opening: the perfect position for corruption fighters who relish a challenging assignment.
Beat this, Dithering Dick Cheney.

Hey, I see a "Write in Journal" link. So easy to find! Wow.
Here is a little experiment, for those who like to live in fear, if only a moment. Got balls? This is a screen capture I found amusing.

Don't forget to write in your journals! It let's your friends know what you are thinking.
http://slashdot.org/journal.pl
is your friend, because pudge is not.
My recent highlights:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1415399&cid=29871439
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1416351&cid=29871597
Enjoy while you can; slashdot is getting more and more unmanageable.
Well, in reverse order of importance:
(1) chocolate! I like chocolate. I do not like nuts. ~pudge, I epecially do not like your nuts, they smell rancid. I will not eat your nuts, pudge.
(2) Don't feed the trolls. If you can make them gag, all the better.
(3) Glenn Beck! near pudge! What could be better?
Glenn Beck is coming! Gee, sounds messy, but whatever.
http://soundpolitics.com/archives/013291.html
I hope I can get there and see pudge and glenn. I might even see pudge_confirmer . I read that he can sometimes attend events around there.
http://slashdot.org/~pudge_confirmer/journal/232605
If you attend, I would be happy to show you my firearms. Like pudge_confirmer, I "open carry" because I do not have a "concealed permit".
Don't forget to offer to buy pudge an alcoholic beverage. I confirm he most likely would refuse to match you shot for shot, but it is worth a try. I remember one of his postings where he admired gun-alcohol porn, so he may even carry and tie one on. But I also hear in the past, he has refused alcohol, likely due to concerns about its mind-altering effects. Hey, if I were him, I would worry too. Hell, I am me, and I worry.
Anyway, if I miss it, let me know how it all goes. Being Glenn Beck and pudge and all, it should be quite a bang.
Sorry I missed the ACORN rally. My heart goes out to them. For all their faults, they have good hearts. And I like a person with a good heart, even if they do some misguided things. pudge is a person I have long admired from afar.
pudge? are you still reading?
Did you go to the ACORN gathering?
Did you carry?
Was it a bang?
http://soundpolitics.com/archives/013274.html
(oh, cancelled? wonder why? maybe cause ACORN was censored by NUTS- wing nuts, or gun nuts, maybe
Oh, the irony.
'That, friends, is true "political terrorism."'

The War on Drugs, the War on Terrorism, the War on Journalism. I should propose a war on pudgilism, but that would be too ironic. He keeps getting better and better!
Freedom of Whine
In other words: I can whine about it, but you don't have to journal about it -
or in the case of
allow
me
to
post
to
it.
But,
in
the case of this whine, you CAN post a response in a thread in my journal.
Except I said you will, and
I
am
the
boss
of
you.
Censorship, censorship, censorship! I do it all the time. I sux.
D'uh. Mah. As.
Well, I think my trolling of railgunner worked! My heart soars like a hawk.
And then some AC took the time to imply RG is a subtle wit. Wow! What a bonus. Not only does AC not get it at all, she took the time to check the box to post anonymously. Sweet.
Life is good.
Now if only RG and/or cgn and/or r4m will post here. Anonymously, of course. That would wrap it up with a bow on top!
(Wait for it...)
Oh, and if the programmers like cgn would change the perl on "slash code" specifying time limits on using resources, instead of working to make the slashdot user experience better, my faith in the reality of libertarians would be bolstered.
Just saying.
But I must admit, my faith in humanity was improved by this post:

Credit where credit is due, I always say.
Hey, did you all miss me? I'm back.
