But I appreciate your position.

Cheers!

All other reactions on your part flow from there. You might want to stop and internalize that.

Not sure what you mean, but I’ll take a stab at it.

I have no credibility because I am anti-fred? and am vocal about it?

I appreciate your mature reasoned comments. Thanks.

Dear csdeven, from your mostly “mature” and “reasoned” friend over here – please note that you’ve lost reasonability in your quest to “kill” the Fred! drive. All other reactions on your part flow from there. You might want to stop and internalize that. Other than that you’d be fine, in whatever you like or not. Also posting opposition/favorability once would suffice, versus jacking threads, while really not saying anything we already know from the first time you expressed it.

On a friendly, very friendly note, lighten up a little.

OT – the exhibit looks Picassean – inspires brain matter from a very unlikely source…

You’re misunderstanding my comments. I don’t mind the “other” stuff, but those 20 other stories are down the list and are not getting comments. That leaves these 6 “she who will not be named” threads getting all the attention. I’d like to see an open thread that stays at the top as an alternative to 6 recent “she who will not be named” threads. The gay-bomb headline has lots of potential and I dare say that if the “she who will not be named” threads were allowed to move down the list, those alternate threads would get some traffic.

The reason I come here is because of MM. I’d dare say that if you were being seen on TV, we’d be inundating your site too. People like to go where there are lots of other people because the range of opinions is quite enlightening at times.

The biggest problem I see in most blogs are the personal attacks. The minute a personal attack happens, the learning ends. I’d much rather have someone press for an explanation and ultimately disagree than call someone a troll or tell them to go away because they don’t fall into lockstep with the prevailing wisdom.

And this is why we get lots of “she who will not be named”, Rosie, and fred? threads.

Might I suggest Politico? I hear the only discuss political news there, and it’s boring as hell. My blog only discusses politics. That’s probably why I’d have a heart attack if I even had a fraction of the readership Allah does.

Seriously, 20 of the 26 front page stories on Hotair, are directly political. Another one is about an MSNBC commercial on Fox, discussing why. One of the Hilton posts discusses the scandal abrew about Hilton’s grandfather giving $1,000 to the sheriff who released Hilton.

This is what happens when you discuss nothing but politics. And this.
And this.

Do you mention raving lunatics to segue back to “she who will not be named”? :-)

Oh no – maybe I did it subconsciously. In that case it’s too much pizza and politics.

Too much politics turns you into a raving lunatic

So, what’s wrong with an open thread? Or doesn’t that fit into your paradigm?

A headline open thread would be cool though. Bush’s European tour is screaming for some comments.

And might I remind those who don’t like such posts or even this one, when Al Gore invented the internet he was prescient enough to equip all computers with a Scroll Key. No need to read that which doesn’t interest you. Worry not – what appears in this post will not be on the test.

Where does it say HA is a “political Blog”, cs?
I’ve always viewed it as a place to go discuss current events.
Some events are political, some aren’t.
BacaDog on June 10, 2007 at 12:26 AM

It doesn’t, but it’s clear that MM is not a part of the “Entertainment Tonight” crowd. With all the great political news out there and we have 5 threads on Paris and no open thread, it’s almost like HA is headed the way “Inside Edition” did. It’s disappointing that when I criticize it, I am basically told “too bad”. I mean really, NO OPEN THREAD AT ALL?

But I do realize that isn’t entirely AP’s fault as people are heavily responding to the Paris and Rosie threads.

It wouldn’t say anything if there was an open thread for those who are tired of certain stories, or there was no scolding when we take threads off topic. These Paris threads could be easily skewed into other events that are apropos to other news events.

I appreciate your mature reasoned comments. Thanks.

There are plenty of other political blogs out there if this one’s not political enough for you. Enjoy them!

Allahpundit on June 10, 2007 at 12:20 AM

My comment on how boring this has become is as much part of the discussion as piling on Paris is. Isn’t it? Or does everyone have to like every thread now?

AP needs a date.

To contract herpes?

I wonder how long she will hold out before using the prison toilet?

How ’bout you start your own friggin blog and quit whining like a little b*tch? You can post what you want and see if anybody actually wants to read it.

This was supposed to be attached to my last post. As in: a li’l bit touchy!!?
