Sorry Tom, just had to say this; “My boy Pompey in the doorway….”
Would have to figure any “TMWSLV” fan was also a FRED! man.
Alamo on June 25, 2007 at 1:27 PM
Gee Limerick, I’m gonna have to let you down. I support Mitt!
Mitt! unlike Fred? has actually:
Declared.
Been in debates.
Offered more than prepared statements and softball interviews from the likes of Leno and Hannity.
So soon as these 3 things happen, I will consider changing from Mitt! to Fred.
Until then, he is a paper tiger offering false hope for loads of conservatives, and most certainly does not deserve an “!” after his name. He has done nothing to deserve it.

Welcome everyone, now sit down and ….oh, nevermind.
It’s gonna be a loooong week.
shooter on June 25, 2007 at 1:34 PM
I just called Senator Nelson (D-Nebraska), and spoke with the staff.
They are telling people that “Senator Nelson will vote YES on cloture, but he will vote NO on amnesty legislation because the Senator does not believe in rewarding law-breakers with USA citizenship.”
Folks, we need to get on the phone lines NOW.
ColtsFan on June 25, 2007 at 1:34 PM
Thank you. I’m tired of screaming at my computer monitor. Maybe I won’t have a stroke after all. At least till Hillary gets elected.

Yes, thank you for the chance to finally get in on this thing!!

This is great. Thanks.
BowHuntingTexas on June 25, 2007 at 1:46 PM
How many new registrations are we up to, please?
RushBaby on June 25, 2007 at 1:49 PM
Thank you! Now I no longer have to be satisfied with muttering aloud to my computer screen and can mutter digitally instead. It’s a good day!
Lori_Z on June 25, 2007 at 1:55 PM
This is great! Thanks! I can finally continue lurking, all the while knowing that I can post if I want. We’ll see…..
nottakingsides on June 25, 2007 at 1:57 PM
Nice to see someone picked up on the reference. Excellent…
(I see someone else grabbed Rooster Cogburn’s handle as well.)
Tom Doniphon on June 25, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Joy! I no longer have to have one sided conversations with my monitor when visiting HotAir!
I hope all the new registrations don’t break the blog.

The anti-war crowd will only change when they need our troops to protect them on our own soil.

Did you remind all the newbies that they have to chip in for your iPhone?
Mallard T. Drake on June 25, 2007 at 2:05 PM
Agreed then! Dawn, water cannon, 50 paces :)
Welcome aboard! I am a Fred! fan but not yet a Fred! groupie as our resident FDS csdeven would have you believe.
Limerick on June 25, 2007 at 2:10 PM
Woohoo! Thank you! The addiction is complete! Although I question the timing. ;P
synycalwon on June 25, 2007 at 2:11 PM
I enjoy this site very much, I’m a long time reader, thanks for letting me join, it’s an honor, and thanks to KC for the tip.
lookhearsee on June 25, 2007 at 2:11 PM
Well… Well… Well… it’s about time :) (no really just kidding!)
RINO_Hunter on June 25, 2007 at 2:15 PM
You forgot the bucket of prop-wash. There’s many more what those come from, but they get a bit more esoteric and tech-centric.
Freelancer on June 25, 2007 at 2:17 PM
Put the Fence back up !! I don’t like open borders even for one day !!
moc23 on June 25, 2007 at 11:19 AM
We’re legal. We registered before we stormed the gate. Now I just need to settle in and learn the language. I don’t want to be pwnededed or what ever. Ignore the dem after my screen name. It makes me nervous too.
captivated_dem on June 25, 2007 at 2:17 PM
Thanks for opening registration.
Back to lurking. Ciao.

ricelchew on June 25, 2007 at 9:32 AM
“site”, that is, but it still is a great sight!
ricelchew on June 25, 2007 at 2:31 PM

Vaporman87 on June 25, 2007 at 2:38 PM
Great site, been lurking forever. Promise to keep my comments clean and to the point. Well, maybe not. Depends of the subject and how ticked I am about it. Thanks again for opening registration!
24K lady on June 25, 2007 at 2:38 PM
Last comment, I have been haunting this thread enough. Just wanted to say Welcome again to everyone. Please click on the advertisements on the site from time to time - sponsors help our community to thrive and grow!

Hi, Everybody! Like many people who have signed up, I have been lurking forever, so it is good to let out my “hot air” now. :P

I’m really happy to be here at last…
Thanks again!

I wonder how many banned have re-entered? It is going to be fun weeding them out.
Get the tazer out AP, charge it up.

thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!
I have awaited this day for so long.
*sniff, sniff*
It´s so hard to believe that all my long hours of crying over posts that I can´t add my $0.02 to are over.
Of course, now that I am actually registered, I´ll probably never come up with another comment again, but at least I can if I want to! (=
mica_ar on June 25, 2007 at 3:43 PM
YAY! I’m in, I can finally point out csdeven’s unnatural fascination will all things Fred!

Must see BBC video at YouTube. American soldiers save the life of an Afghan woman and her unborn baby. She was shot though the stomach by a relative trying to kill her and the baby.
US troops in dramatic rescue

HEY.. Ms. Malkin listened to us!! MM for President!!!!
Paul the American on June 25, 2007 at 4:02 PM
Why they’d let a monkey like me in here is beyond my banana-tree comprehension. I’ll try not to break anything…
Lance on June 25, 2007 at 4:12 PM
Thanks! Now I can vent with everyone else.
FL Mom on June 25, 2007 at 4:14 PM
Yes! I had given up hope that I’d ever be able to comment here.
pifactorial on June 25, 2007 at 4:19 PM
I got a good chuckle out of that one…
JetBoy on June 25, 2007 at 4:20 PM
Good gravy my day has finally come.
magnum78 on June 25, 2007 at 4:27 PM
A BIG THANK YOU to the Hot Air Staff. I hope I can, along with my fellow new members, offer comments that will live up to the quality of the Hot Air blogs.
Ghostbuster on June 25, 2007 at 4:32 PM
Seconded! It is a friendly barfight. A tad bit loud at times but friendly just the same.
Limerick on June 25, 2007 at 4:43 PM
At last, I have a means in which to post my petty comments! Thank you, Michelle!
kjboughton on June 25, 2007 at 4:43 PM

I’ll be good. Promise ;-)
infidelpride on June 25, 2007 at 5:07 PM
Bear with me, but how long does it normally take for a post to appear?
infidelpride on June 25, 2007 at 5:08 PM
WOO HOO!
Nihaody on June 25, 2007 at 5:12 PM

Thanks Allah for the open registration. Kudos to you, and to Charles over at Little Green Footballs, where there was also an open registration today. I surmising the army for fighting the “fairness” doctrine is being amassed. Count me in as a soldier.
Thrilled to be registered here - this means I’m OFFICIALLY full of hot air, though assuredly not among the moonbat heavy-breathers!
Looking forward to getting to know you all -
GGMac on June 25, 2007 at 5:25 PM
Thank you for all the good work you do. Laughter, especially at the expense of a liberal, truly is the best medicine.

This is an answer to prayer! Glad to finally be a hotair member.

Yes, Finally. Now I can do my own venting.
I feel like a l’il kid on Christmas morn.
Greetings to all journeyman HAers. And my fellow rookies.
soundingboard on June 25, 2007 at 6:18 PM
Yippee! I’m finally able to post comments on the best blog on the net. Hope I don’t make a big fool out of myself. Ha! Many thanks to Allah, Brian and Michelle for opening registration today. Now back to more reading on this site.
Thanks again Hot Air team.

AP will do anything for a 500 comment thread! Thanks AP and MM. I sure hope to do you proud.
On-my-soap-box on June 25, 2007 at 6:45 PM
Just received a reply from my senator (Kyle, we know how he is going to vote). He wrote thst he voted against ending the debate the last time and the usual BS about it is not the bill he would write if he had to do it on his own.
I wrote back that a vote for cloture will gaurantee he does not get my vote next time around.
SIJ6141 on June 25, 2007 at 6:52 PM
Wow, that description of the story wasn’t far off from the real headline:
Liberalism, you just can’t make this stuff up!!
SSG Fuzzy on June 25, 2007 at 7:19 PM
Welcome, new commenters. Here is the standard I have set for you. Exceed it, meet it, or just feel the pathos of distance.

Hey! I’m glad to finally be able to post here on Hot Air! I’ll do my best to not incur the wrath of the moderators and I can’t wait until I quote someone and mess it up by not closing the quote or something like that!
I see there still isn’t a preview button… Hehehe :)
