Conveyor belt to the shredder.

Now that the gestapo has decided who is worthy and who must disappear for the good of the fatherland, I have two words, seig heil.

Whoever it is never listened to Lakoff talk about the father party, because they somehow got themselves in the wrong one.

The other guys are the top down authoritarians.

Howard Dean is first.  The current staff responsible for the blog is last, bull headed, unable to communicate or compromise, and totally unfamiliar with the concept of democracy.

These were peeps who were struggling with Tara three years ago.  Tara's gone, her *blog* is gone, and three of the 20 who cared enough to struggle are still here.

Edwin thought Tara was a paid agent. Wonder what he'd think about this crew?

In fairness, in his work for the John Anderson campaign, he did actually have to deal with agents from both the Reagan campaign and the Carter campaign, who did a lot of damage, as he saw it. I don't think he was, in general, especially paranoid.

When I started.  Some time in Sleepless Summer, or right after.

I came in Sleepless Summer too.  

About the time things got unbearable around here yesterday, things looked up - Danny created an open music thread, then we got Gerry's open thread, and now after DAYS, Phil's 'shredder' memo finally made the rec list.  Thanks to whoever in HQ who seems to be having a melting of heart.  Maybe they just don't give a s on the weekends.  I'm happy this morning b/c I found JudyforDean and Monica too.  Where are you Seashell?  Do we have to be on topic on this thread?  I guess I'll find out eventually :~).

Dec '03 for me, but I didn't actually blog til Jan '04, can't recall what name at first, it was Feb or Mar when I came up with T2T4D.

anni - have been scanning thru threads and saw sea post  - I think it was on Gerry's.  Not sure what conversation with Tim Denise is referring to, he was on a thread for a bit yesterday, but I'm quite encouraged by the open thread yesterday.
