Sharing this blog with my lefty colleague John Kowalski was an experiment that failed. Reading the same old tripe day after day bores me, and I don’t like feeling that I have to respond to personal attacks on my own blog. So I’ve revoked his posting privileges and will delete his messages in a few days, after he’s had the time to save anything that he wants.
I like the idea of debating an honest liberal on a day-to-day basis on-line, and hope that I can do that some day.
oh come on, Richard. I really wonder who you might consider to be an ‘honest liberal’, in the face of some of the one-way opinion you post here.
You make it sound as if you want to be challenged on your views here, which I really doubt is the case, since most of the opposing points that I have posted here in the past have met with condescension flicks of the wrist, name-calling, and dismissive rebuttals mostly designed to refute, not to encourage the discussion.
I stopped reading until I came back to find your colleague given the chance to do the “he said, he said” thing with you. I was surprised to see you’d even allow someone have an opposing viewpoint. It was what brought me back to reading it.
Now I’m disappointed you’re now pulling the “cut his mike, cut his mike!” move. Maybe it’s an homage to O’Reilly, maybe not. Either way, it’ll be boring without the other side.
And like O’Reilly, it’s obvious that he simply couldn’t take honest criticism and being called on repeating right-wing talking points that were debunked many times before.
Right, I’m just like O’Reilly – Tim, not Bill.
Yeah, that “All about Oil” post was AWESOME! I’d never heard ANY of that before.
“Cut his mike”? Um…blogger.com. They’re free if you don’t mind doing the work. Wait…leftie moonbat, work…never mind.
Maybe if John had offered to share the costs of this blog, I might have felt different about running the experiment longer, but I doubt it. It was just too repetitious.
Yo, Scott, I got an error posting a comment on your blog: ‘/home/fatguy/public_html/index.html.new’ failed: Opening local file ‘/home/fatguy/public_html/index.html.new’ failed: Permission denied
Must be a move-related issue.
You mean you’re paying money to repeat stuff you can read on nationalreview.com?
OTOH, if I were to share costs, I’d want control too.
I could get my own blog- and may- but I have an actual, real life.
Yeah John, freedom’s not free and Michael
Moore doesn’t cover my costs.
But I understand that “life” part, in theory at least. If you get a blog, I’ll link you.
RB: That’s been fixed (fingers crossed.)
John, you don’t appear to have too damn much of a life considering your weekend posting patterns. At least no more of a life than any other blogger or commenter. At least no more of a life than someone who has happy to do it while somebody else was paying the freight. Typical socialist. Whine and taunt.
Go control your whole blog at blogger.com. I’ll link it, too. This could be an even better experiment than leaching off of Big Dick and the traffic he’s built up. I’m dying to see your original, creative, non-repitious, engaging work. I want more of that Little Big Horn stuff…that was fascinating, and dare I say it, illuminating.
