Since Disqus has brought us a bunch of new commenters (Hi! Welcome To The Monkeyhouse! Play nice! ), we'd just like to 'splain why we moderate comments in the first place, instead of allowing unfettered Free Speach: It's because we are big believers in the First Amendment, which gives us the right to run our little mommyblog/recipe hub/Pony appreciation society however the hell we want to. It's our parlor, and if we choose not to invite someone in because they're intent on muddying up the carpet and shitting on the credenza, or even if we don't like their Gadsden Flag t-shirt, that's our business. Don't like it? Do some Free Enterprise and offer the Editrix an obscene amount of money to buy the site so you can change how things work. (We hear she'll only sell if the staff get some pretty impressive golden parachutes.)
Wouldn't a libertarian steed just buck him off into the nearest ditch? Libertarianism only works if your horse/mom/neighbors/fellow-citizens are NOT Libertarian.
Ha, shows how much you know. Truth is, NASA has been secretly funded solely from velcro royalties since it was invented by Apollo astronauts in the 1950s.
10% may have thought he was a Muslim, but it didn't specify whether or not they had a problem with that. It'so a safe bet that 135% of the Republicans did.
Wonkette is new to me also. I was banished from the local television web site here in our state capital and found the website of a nearby station even more slanted to the right. I guess my problem was a result of calling people id_iots (they screened for certain words) when some people responded to article similar to the recent banishment by the UNC Board of Governors of the center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity at UNC Chapel Hill. This program was totally funded by an outside grant and Republicans were criticized in some comments. Then, some id_iot responded he did not see any connection with the GOP. Well, except that the Board is appointed by the Governor and the General Assembly. Both being controlled by the Republican party. So it is nice to see a site where you can call an id_iot an idiot.
Which part of the "We" in "WE, The People" do libertarians not understand?
Say, are you related to this Nigerian prince that's been trying to give me munnies?
There's a long audition process involving every single staff writer having an in-depth interview with you.
Bring lube.
I miss my big p-ness

To paraphrase Oliver Wendell Holmes:
Taxes? I love paying taxes, with it I buy civilization.
Do you like pony's?
Preach.
To them, "we" is a collection of selfish "me"s
And someday, if we ever start allowing comments, you can be one with us!

BigFurHat is just jealous because WE have all the parasites, and HE needs a bleeding because he objects to Obummercare.

Disqus is the great P-Ness equalizer.
I'm bilingual as far as numbers go. I can read both Arabic and Roman numerals (as long as I'm allowed to use all my fingers and toes).

Whose tax dollars pay his sheriff's salary? Do they get a choice?
