Damn! I finally got in and I can’t think of one clever thing to say.
Thanks, AP.

There are over 9 million playing WoW, group raids have had larger numbers than that. Not to mention many of those characters had been made on the spot.
Anyway…what a joke.
Blacksoda on January 7, 2008 at 6:16 PM
Finally! I’ve been a reader for a long time now and am looking forward to joining in.

Well this is cool. I’ve been waiting for an open registration period for, well, ever!
First off, great blog. No. 1 for daily news/views on US politics IMHO.
Introductions – As if anyone cares about this little newbie ;-)
25, Male, England – UK. Sits somewhere on the political spectrum around a libertarian-conservative (UK usage of the C word though…) I work shifts and 4 days out of 16 I work through the night here in the UK so will be on here during the US day which should help for actually being in comment threads rather than posting while you guys are asleep.
Anyway more of that later, let the games begin!
VeniVidiVidic on January 7, 2008 at 6:18 PM
Good grief, they’ll let anybody in here.
Apparently, even me.
clancy_wiggum on January 7, 2008 at 6:21 PM
Alright! Dozens more people who can

warlocketx on January 7, 2008 at 6:25 PM
WOW!! I’m finally in. How many blogs do you know of that have openly athiest views as well as Christian? Too cool.
MM, Bryan, and Allah, you’re the best.
kyarnes on January 7, 2008 at 6:29 PM
Aw man, I registered over a year ago.

The moment I have been waiting for! Thank you!
dbj on January 7, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Welcome to all the newcomers. Just know your place, peons! You WILL worship Fred, or feel the wrath of certain posters! You will NOT worship any god other than the god of atheism!
SouthernGent on January 7, 2008 at 6:51 PM
While I don’t comment as often as I would like, I did want to take the time to say “Greetings and Welcome” to all y’all newcomers! Come on in, the water’s fine!

I’ve been lurking Hot Air for like a year now, I’m glad that I can comment. Thanks AP!
EFG2011 on January 7, 2008 at 7:09 PM
For the official record I am not a Mitt supporter. Just because I’m Mormon doesn’t mean I can’t see through his flippin’ lies and fetchin’ distortions. (that’s Mormon swearing for anyone not familiar with it – I’ll try to keep it clean from now on).
Mormon Doc on January 7, 2008 at 7:13 PM
Well, I’m here :D
I’ve been lurking a long time, I can’t say I’ll be sayin’ a whole lot, but there have been quite a few times I’ve really wanted to say something and I couldn’t. So it’s good to have that freedom
blackfish on January 7, 2008 at 7:17 PM
Oh Yeah, I can now join in. Thanks
americanjbg on January 7, 2008 at 7:20 PM
Hi, everyone! Finally, I hit HotAir on open registration. Many thanks, this is a great site, and I look forward to interacting.
P.S. I’m a FredHead, but will be voting for the R candidate next Nov.
TeeDee on January 7, 2008 at 7:26 PM
I am thrilled to join this community! I hope some of us newbies can represent ourselves as well as the existing members.
Here’s to you, Hot Air!
Signalfire_WI on January 7, 2008 at 7:31 PM
Woohoo! I made it in time this time.
Don Carne on January 7, 2008 at 7:33 PM
wow, I’ve been reading ALL those comments for 3 hours and my eyes won’t focus.
Good to be here!
tyouth on January 7, 2008 at 7:34 PM
Nice to be here,now I can share all my wisdom with you. Or at least you can laugh at my attempts to act like I know what I’m talking about.
schmuck281 on January 7, 2008 at 7:35 PM
Well you have found the right place to be, and you can count me in that description. You will discover that there are quite a few of us here…Welcome to all the newbeies…
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 7:36 PM
Wow nice to finaly catch the registation. I seem to miss it everytime.
Glad to be here as a fellow FREDHead? I was getting rather irritated with the term but have decided to take it own as an honor. Means I got what some people call brains! ; ) lol
I do not worship Fred but so far he seems to be the closet one to represent me. Still watching though!!!! One thing I do know for sure is who I am NOT voting for!
vabslady on January 7, 2008 at 7:39 PM
sorry newbie error, only meant to emphasize the last sentence..
vabslady on January 7, 2008 at 7:40 PM
I’ve been reading the comments all day LMAO, you newbie’s are bringing a lot of fun to the party
abinitioadinfinitum on January 7, 2008 at 7:43 PM
You cannot imagine how long I’ve wanted to post on this site. I’m happy to be here.
Pcoop on January 7, 2008 at 7:45 PM
Same here, but I’m into progressive rock and metal. Give me some Dream Theater, King’s X, Rush or Galactic Cowboys any day of the week!
Pcoop on January 7, 2008 at 7:47 PM
Cool. I’m in. Now where are the hot conservative babes at?
GreenBlade on January 7, 2008 at 7:51 PM
Cool. I’m in. Now where are the hot conservative babes at?

a post so nice he posted it twice.
Pcoop on January 7, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Hey now, I am the resident guitar god/weenie here and don’t you guys forget it…Er actually welcome to HotAir… ;P
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Wow, never thought it would happen. Thanks, Allah.
Brundlefly on January 7, 2008 at 7:54 PM
Am I in?….good gracious, I think I’m in!! I’ve missed every registration since Hot Air fired up a year-and-a-half ago.
There’ve been times when I was DYING to join in on a conversation but all I was able to do was pop off an email to Allah or Bryan. This is great!
That said, I’ll probably be terrible in the comment wars, I type wholly too slowly.
Hello, everyone!
Skidd on January 7, 2008 at 7:55 PM
Nothing better that being registered for both MM.com and Hot Air. My two favorite sites. Thanks for letting me play.
joeyb1955 on January 7, 2008 at 7:56 PM
Allah-luia. I’m in. Thanks.
joeyb on January 7, 2008 at 7:59 PM
…And head of HA when no one is around to mind the store.
F15Mech on January 7, 2008 at 8:01 PM
About time!!! :) I promise not to embarrass you.
Sean68 on January 7, 2008 at 8:02 PM
How YOU doin? ;)
sonnyspats1 on January 7, 2008 at 8:02 PM
Sorry. I was so honored to be let in that I poured myself a double.
GreenBlade on January 7, 2008 at 8:02 PM
Heh heh heh…If only I didnt have other places I need to be tonight, we could start that whole business up again… ;)
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:04 PM
Don’t worry. AP is the only one who can actually watch you type. The rest of us just see the end result.
RedWinged Blackbird on January 7, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Heh heh wouldn’t be the first person around here to do that…
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:05 PM
This should have been a red meat screen cap.
ronsfi on January 7, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Oh to be a fly on the wall watching AP watch us type out our comments and laugh until he falls out of his chair…
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:07 PM
I am citing you as a DP’er (double poster). the penalty for that around these parts is cruise Rosie’s site and bring back a detailer repore. Oh and beer. Otherwise no babes for you! (in my best soup nazi imitation) really welcome and have fun.
sonnyspats1 on January 7, 2008 at 8:08 PM
I saw her ankle first.
infidel on January 7, 2008 at 8:09 PM
Praise be to Allah, most merciful, for opening registration.
Buck Rogers on January 7, 2008 at 8:10 PM
Sheesh thats detailed and report. Silence!
sonnyspats1 on January 7, 2008 at 8:10 PM
Guitar Gods rule.
Pcoop on January 7, 2008 at 8:12 PM
Welcome. With a list like that, you’d probably get along with my hippie liberal-yet-old-fashioned Wiccan ex-stripper bisexual g/f. But then she puts up with me (no, I can’t explain it either), so getting along with anybody else should be a piece of cake.
ReubenJCogburn on January 7, 2008 at 8:13 PM
Maybe but I think the first post rule is in effect. Don’t forget he who hesitates masterba…..
sonnyspats1 on January 7, 2008 at 8:14 PM
I feel that I’ve been let out of my prison into the free world. I’ve read your writings and feel as if I know all of you. But have you made a mistake to open the gates, ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Thanks for allowing a Duncan Hunter supporter into the site.
GO HUNTER!
Go FRED SMITH for NC Governor.
livermush on January 7, 2008 at 8:16 PM
Please feel free to listen to my music at the link provided…(shameless self plug)… ;)

I can tell you are from across the pond, don’t know how/s
All you have to do now is pull for LSU Tigers!
Welcome to HA
abinitioadinfinitum on January 7, 2008 at 8:17 PM
From his congressional district by any chance???
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:18 PM
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:18 PM
Not from his congressional district, but the first time I met him in Catawba County I was sold. He should be running for President.

Ummm, actually I was referring to Duncan Hunter, who by the way is my congressman…
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:24 PM

knat on January 7, 2008 at 8:25 PM
Finally, I’m in! RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, I’m just kiddin’. Still, IMPEACH BUSHITLERCHENEYMCHALLIBURTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m just messin’ with ya! Anyways, for anyone what gives a crap, a lil’ aboot me: Iraq War vet (OIFII MAR ’04 to MAR ’05) classically liberal conservative with libertarian tendencies… or maybe a conservative libertarian with classically liberal tendencies … libertarian classic liberal with conservative tendencies? Also, I dig that Jesus guy, the kids love him.
LordDilly on January 7, 2008 at 8:27 PM
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
I’ve waited a long time for comment rights!!!!
Did I say thanks?
Major Nuisance on January 7, 2008 at 8:29 PM

Ummm, actually I was referring to Duncan Hunter, who by the way is my congressman…
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:24 PM
I met Hunter one county over. That’s North Carolina by the way. He had me a little worried today with his announcement, but I am still hopefull. Kinda funny, about 90% of the people I know locally support Hunter, but the media is driving them away by consistantly ignoring him and pushing the others. Of course, NC doesn’t matter. Our primary isn’t until May. What do we matter?
livermush on January 7, 2008 at 8:30 PM
I feel your pain brother, I feel your pain…
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:31 PM
Just wanted to say thanks for the invite, I have been a big fan of the site for a long time!

Spot of tea? Or an ice-cold brewski?
Something for everyone here, so sit down and..let’s hear from y’all!
inviolet on January 7, 2008 at 8:50 PM
I hope this place doesnt turn into the liberal playpen known as Digg.
Nastronomical on January 7, 2008 at 8:50 PM
Not going to happen…Allahpundit has the banhammer of justice and he’s just itching to use it… ;p
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:54 PM
Woot! Very excited to be a part of this community! Thanks HotAir!
Luckedout on January 7, 2008 at 8:54 PM
The longer that registration remains open, the less special I feel…
Akzed on January 7, 2008 at 8:55 PM
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Halllllleluuuuuujaaaaaaah!
I am somebody now!
mikkins on January 7, 2008 at 8:55 PM
Better close the registration soon. This place is so classy compared to cesspools like huffpost, daily kooks..etc. The trolls will be around soon.
therightwinger on January 7, 2008 at 8:57 PM
I’m finally in!! Super cool. All you Fred heads out there, I’m with yuh. Too bad we have to wait until March to vote in Texas.
Tango Xray Greg on January 7, 2008 at 8:58 PM
Woohooo,my bribe worked. Allah, where do I send the iPhone?
BTW anyone notice the Sen Muskie/Hellary (that’s not a typo) ‘Meltdown’ similarities? Location for one. Self pity for two. Same party, for a round robin!
Big hello and thanks to Kev for the link to Political Blog Nirvana
Boots on January 7, 2008 at 8:58 PM
It opens once a year…Feel very privileged…
doriangrey on January 7, 2008 at 8:58 PM
Yes!!!!! Finally in! Thank you Allah, Bry, & Michelle!
Son of Sam Kinison on January 7, 2008 at 8:59 PM
I think AP forgot about it. Probably trying to figure out how to use that iPhone.
RedWinged Blackbird on January 7, 2008 at 9:00 PM
I may or may not have squealed when I saw that comment registration had opened… what can I say, I’ve been waiting a long time for this.
NeoRealist on January 7, 2008 at 9:00 PM
your welcome Boots welcome to the commentators room
Kevin43 on January 7, 2008 at 9:01 PM
This is so flippin’ cool!! Michelle herself posts comments on this blog!! I have to admit I’m a little starstruck. But only a little. Here’s to the future of Hot Air!!
Lambeaux on January 7, 2008 at 9:05 PM
Does anyone know the Christian/atheist and conservative/liberal make-up of this site?
