Not writing psuedonymously may have cost Mike a job, and he is thinking of shutting down DWA because of it. My advice: you can’t close the barn door after the horses got out. And we would miss the liveblogs. But perhaps now Mike understands the use of pseudonyms. So start a new site with a psuedonym. And to really really really piss DV off, perhaps we can invite an 11th commenter over here. Hahahahaha, I know, I know. The Republican Party will become respectable and sane again before that happens.

A comment rescue from the News Journal that actually makes sense.
And you sir, I see, have the memory of a squirrel as well.
Is that good or bad?
Thanks for linking to the Newark post, DD.
here’s something from Naomi Klein via Rachel Maddow’s web site:
Naomi’s lexicon:
Political scientist Sam Gindin wrote recently that the labor movement can do more than protect the status quo. It can demand, for instance, that shuttered auto plants be converted into green-future factories, capable of producing mass-transit vehicles and technology for a renewable energy system. “Being realistic means taking hope out of speeches,” he wrote, “and putting it in the hands of workers.” Which brings me to the final entry in the lexicon. Hoperoots. Sample sentence: “It’s time to stop waiting for hope to be handed down, and start pushing it up, from the hoperoots.”
DD asked Is that good or bad?
I don’t know, you tell me. 😉
Personally I can tell you that if one does have the mind of a squirrel, one spends a lot of time chasing nuts…
Today, the Republcan party IS nuts, so if you spend a lot of effort analysing their insanity, then, the nomenclature offered by nemski, ….might fit…
lol.
“Wow. I thought Libertarians were all about the rule of law.”
Wow. Then you don’t know much about libertarians. You do know we’re against the drug war, for example? And against eminent domain seizures? Both of those are “legal”. There’s a list a mile long, and “rule of law” has nothing to do with it.
I think you’re confusing us with conservatives. Slightly understandable, given the number of conservatives that claim to be libertarian.
