Is it true that Mel is making a documentary about the Holocaust? Ten bucks says that the "directors cut" has a disclaimer at the end. (You know: "The foregoing is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real events or people is merely a result of the creative process, due largely to the Worldwide Jewish Conspiracy forcing the myth of the Holocaust upon us.") |

In a "Most Helpful like Hank" sort of way I thought that comment you edited out was actually a bit of a de-escalation of the rhetoric in the last couple of sentences that you left in. FWIW. |

By the way, apparently Gibson has been complaining about his wild and crazy neighbors, Britney and Kevin. On second thought, let's let the Israelis take care of this one. |

I didn't actually suggest occupying Lebanon. I suggested occupying Israel. I believe that in the long run, it will save far more lives than it will cost. If it takes 100 years, so be it. I don't believe that anything less will work. I think what I disagree with is summed up pretty well in this quote from a post of yours on July 17: Quote:
It never ends. Maybe my posts have not been as concisely and clearly laid out as I would like. For that I apologize. In my defense, I will note that when someone repeatedly keeps telling me to fuck myself, my first reaction tends to be "Fuck me? Fuck YOU!!!!" But that is not productive, so I try to squelch it with some modicum of success. Of course that is my personal weakness, not any fault of yours. In any event, it is apparent that this conversation is going nowhere but down fast. For that, I bear as much of the blame as anyone. I'm done. Declare yourself the winner. Oh, and, fuck me? Fuck you. |

CT: It's not just for bloggers anymore
I've been watching the whole Lieberman/Lamont thing with some degree of amusement, largely because (a) I'm not from CT, (b) I don't really care too much about Lieberman personally, though I do find him mildly annoying when I do think about him, and (c) I presumed that the whole primary thing couldn't really be profoundly affected by Kos or some other bloggers typing angrily onto their keyboards, no matter how pissed they really are. In the end, I thought, it's a local campaign and the locals will decide what they want.
I was surprised, though, to come across the NYT editorial in which the Gray Lady endorsed ... Lamont. It is NOT a typical, mealy-mouthed endorsement. Nor does it spend more than a paragraph or so praising Lamont. No, much of it is dedicated to the dicing and filleting of Joe Liberman. To what I imagine will be Slave's, Penske's, bilmore's, spanky's, and club's delight, the NYT doesn't even pretend to sit above the fray and spend time complimenting both candidates. Instead it kicks Joe in the butt, stomps on his testicles, and leaves him for dead. I don't know but presume that CT voters tend to read this paper, and would imagine that a typical voter there would place some importance on the NYT's endorsement, certainly more than that of an Atrios. I wonder how this will play out. Gattigap |

For the record -- I think that destroying the military capability of Hezbollah will save more live than it will cost, in the long run. In other words, I don't hate or devalue Arabs any more than you do Israelis, it appears. Quote:
This is a legitimate point. You can fairly accuse Israel of going too far, being too harsh. I have acknowledged in the past week that they have done so (attacking civilian convoys as they fled So. Lebanon in response to Israeli instructions). In years past, I have done the same, and far more harshly. (I think that what Sharon did at Sabra and Shatila, for example, is nothing short of a war crime.) But -- YOU CAN DISAGREE WITH ME WITHOUT CONSISTENTLY ACCUSING ME OF TREATING ARAB LIVES AS WORTHLESS, OR SUGGESTING -- SAYING -- THAT I SUPPORT GENOCIDE. It was those comments that led me to tell you to go fuck yourself. I can have a calm discussion about this, or I can have a discussion that is passionate without getting personal. Or it can be personal. But I did not bring this to a personal level. You think that I "dug up" your comment re: Iraq/Lebanon, referenced above. I didn't -- I remembered it. I found it very offensive, very personal, and very disturbing. Hence the harshness of my response. I apologize for the level it reached. |

And it's not good. Rather than stand down or soften its line in response to Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon, Hezbollah has used the intervening years to bulk up its military capacity and dig in deeper. This means that the war may well get worse. It also means that Hezbollah represents a serious threat to Israel, and the more time goes on the more serious the threat gets. This is especially true given that Hezbollah is not alone in the region, but rather is closely allied to Syria, which has a significant military of its own. |

Because I love you, platonically, like an internet friend, whom I broke up with but then reconciled with, I must say you could have invested the time and energy you put in here, which ended in a big FU, into your blog, which is more of an exercise in making friends and influencing people. FWIW, no knock on Sidd, whom I understand is very handsome virile chap, platonically, PLF (the other PLF) and/or the Comic's spouse are much more comely friends who would be prone to positive responses to your considerable bloggging talents. |

Nutmeggers from the NY side of CT read the NYTimes. Also transplanted nutmeggers. Cip, moi. I sort of like Lieberman, for a dem. I like Lieberman more now that I know the NYTImes doesn't like him. |

I think the NYTimes is offensively partisan, but I don't think it's a joke. For better or worse, it's probably the best national NEWSpaper out there. The WSJ is a business/financial paper. And it's Op-Ed page rocks. |
