It takes time to process them at first. They’ll be there eventually.
Michelle will be in and around Denver this week, Ed will be live on the scene in Minneapolis starting next Monday, and I’ll be posting only the choicest robot-related viral videos, so there should be plenty to comment on. Enjoy, and welcome!

A word of caution to the newbees. Don’t rattle AP’s cage. He’s a hard working but uber-sensitive guy. ;-)
Christine on August 25, 2008 at 10:30 AM
I want to register againt.
No reason. I just ain’t got nothing better to do today.
madmonkphotog on August 25, 2008 at 10:35 AM
I forgot to say: Welcome to the blast of Hotair.
Michelle has created one of the best blog/vlogs on the net, God bless her!
Christine on August 25, 2008 at 10:36 AM
Hey hey, I finally got registered! Hello everyone. I love this site, it’s my favorite news source, and the comments are the best!

Can you see any similarities?

Fresh meat! New boots! Let’s the hazing begin! haha :-)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard HorAirLines! It’s a full flight today, please put your smaller bags under the seat in front of you, raise your seatbacks and tray tables to their full upright and locked position and fasten your seatbelts, you’re in for one helluva ride!
Tony737 on August 25, 2008 at 10:39 AM
Yes finally!
I have been reading HotAir for a couple of months now and can finally be a part of the funniest comments on the net!
Kudos to all posters here.
TheHat on August 25, 2008 at 10:39 AM
This should be fun.
Are you the One we’ve been waiting for?
Right_of_Attila on August 25, 2008 at 10:39 AM
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Thank you.
PALIN!!!
texette on August 25, 2008 at 10:40 AM
I am going to Denver tonight to feel the healing power of the One. I hope to arrive in time to simply make eye contact with Him; I know that after that, my life will have been transformed. He is the One to cure my afflictions;He is the One that gives meaning to all of this. My life before Him has been meaningless. Tonight, with a mere glance toward me, my life’s purpose will be fulfilled.
ChristianFarley on August 25, 2008 at 10:40 AM
Go Palin!

From a wannabe to a newbie! Thanks for letting me in.
Now if I could just think of something clever to say…
Mini14 on August 25, 2008 at 10:43 AM
If that’s what you want. Sounds like a good idea
entagor on August 25, 2008 at 10:44 AM
Welcome new trolls! Now please be nice little Marxist loons and kindly identify yourselves so that our canine high priest can anoint all of you with a special HotAir blessing.

Saitama75 on August 25, 2008 at 10:53 AM
Woo Hoo! At long last (and after missing a plethora of registration posts) I get to post.
Now, the question I’ve been waiting to ask…Do I get a fee coffee mug for registering?
batter on August 25, 2008 at 10:53 AM
Hey everybody, welcome. Please feel free to mix it up. It’s not like we know where you live or anything. . . or do we.
ThackerAgency on August 25, 2008 at 10:55 AM
In addition to Open Registraion, HA should also have Open Banning registration, where we vote to Ostracize our prize trolls.
pseudonominus on August 25, 2008 at 10:56 AM
Yay for open registration! Thank You!
bethany on August 25, 2008 at 10:58 AM
Fresh meat for the grinder.
Welcome to the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Zombie Reagan sends his regards. Your Illuminati decoder rings will arrive in the mail in 4 to 6 weeks.

I’ll add to the chorus:
Long time HA reader here. Missed open regs the last time.

Some other Valerie on August 25, 2008 at 11:01 AM
are you calling me a troll pseudo, or are you worried that you might be voted off as a prize troll?
ThackerAgency on August 25, 2008 at 11:02 AM
Thank you Hot Air! Michelle, I wish I could meet you here in Denver! Is there a safe meeting place for conservatives here?
skibabe on August 25, 2008 at 11:03 AM
Hot Air is my favorite news blog. I really enjoy the comments section. Thanks for opening registration. It is hard being a Marin County Conservative. Hot Air helps a a lot.
surfer girl on August 25, 2008 at 11:03 AM
WOOHOO!! Just in time for the silly season.
Elizabetty on August 25, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Great. We can look forward to more alphies and more “free”villages. Now we can all discuss the Georgia situation like proper comrades.
MadisonConservative on August 25, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Tap Tap Tap, is this thing on?
Elizabetty on August 25, 2008 at 11:04 AM
newbies. sniff/sniff…hmm…we do have a distinct fragrance about us, don’t we? :) scorched leather & hair from running thru the wall of fire of registration is what I’m smelling.. just sayin’..
Maybe the scent of freshly popped popcorn will banish that while I prepare to watch the fun in Denver on TV..
grasshopper68 on August 25, 2008 at 11:05 AM

Take that moniker to Denver and make good use of it.
ambuldog on August 25, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Thankyou, just signed up.
I’m a Briton here trying to live vicariously through your political scene, which at least has some real conservatives unlike ours!

I was just wondering the same thing. I suspect she’ll get that question a lot.
Tanya on August 25, 2008 at 11:16 AM
Welcome, newbies! Anybody get banned yet, Pundit?
Rick on August 25, 2008 at 11:16 AM
For you Newbies:
The New York Post said that the convention has warned the delegates 3 times to watch their alcohol intake because of the higher altitude. Your initiation ritual is to go buy a ton of booze and hand out free drinks in Denver. Now get going!
(oh yeah.. and welcome!)
GoodBoy on August 25, 2008 at 11:16 AM
I’M IN!!!!!!!!!
BuckNutty on August 25, 2008 at 11:18 AM
Somewhere around here, preaching that we should disband our military and only keep our nukes.
Rick on August 25, 2008 at 11:18 AM
Hey All!, It’s an honor to be one of the Chosen Few :)
Thanks *HotAir*

Finally! Been waiting for this day for months. Thanks for opening the flood gates AP.
smfoushee on August 25, 2008 at 11:23 AM
The proper procedure should be…one for you, one for me, 2 of you, 1 for me, 3 for you, 1 for me….
Then sit back and enjoy the Entertainment! :)
Oh and welcome newbies. I look forward to some fine reading.

This is the time that I again implore our illustrious admins to give those of us here since day 1 a little tag or icon or something.
Vincenzo on August 25, 2008 at 11:25 AM
I wanted a Cap’N Crunch decoder ring!!!!! What’s more right wing then a smurf in a little blue hat with a “C” on it?
TheHat on August 25, 2008 at 11:30 AM
Any bathtub or shower.

Vincenzo on August 25, 2008 at 11:25 AM
AP, Ed and Michelle don’t get that privilege. Why should anyone else? Just pointing that out, I’m not trying to slam you.
JohnnyD on August 25, 2008 at 11:35 AM
What do you think of the treatment of Fox News reporter ,Griff Jenkins, when he tried to talk with Ward Churchill?
ranger on August 25, 2008 at 11:36 AM
Just remember to keep things down to a dull roar.
Weebork on August 25, 2008 at 11:41 AM

/but what if i want to weigh in on a “Dude” headline?

Buckaroo on August 25, 2008 at 11:48 AM
While it’s true that we’re destined to get a few more trollish people, we’ll still get plenty o’ peeps who would bring wit, humor, and good points to the comment sections.
I welcome all the new people to Hot Air.
Be a patriot: Punch a hippy.
Weebork on August 25, 2008 at 11:49 AM
dude,
Rush is going to be on in a few. He’s going to have a blast for the next couple of weeks thanks to Sen Biden. I will too. See you at the EMS.
Weebork on August 25, 2008 at 11:50 AM
Well, that explains why Teddy won’t miss the convention !!
stenwin77 on August 25, 2008 at 11:50 AM
“What do you think of the treatment of Fox News reporter ,Griff Jenkins, when he tried to talk with Ward Churchill?”
anyone who willingly approaches chutch gets what they deserve …
/ok, that was cold, but still, it’s not ike he shoudl be SURPRISED that chutch would act all obstinate, esp. on his somewhat “home turf” — i doubt anything concrete wil actually come out of the incident tho
Buckaroo on August 25, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Now all these Noobs have something in common with Obama..

This is a test from Thresher.
I am a conservative against McCain!
Thresher on August 25, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Connie,
wha? is calling ward “chutch” not allowed?
Buckaroo on August 25, 2008 at 12:01 PM
Haven’t posted since Ed left CQ..
2 extreme libs..
McGovern style ass-whipping?
Partisan on August 25, 2008 at 12:01 PM
MY very first post! I’m so excited to be a part of Hot Air–I always seemed to miss the registration windows. This has been my little place of sanity for the past year, thanks!
Buckeyes on August 25, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Wow! You like me–you really like me!
I’m embarrassed at how excited I am to talk to complete strangers. I call all online posters my imaginary friends.
petunia on August 25, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Forgot crr6 and Dave Rywall.
Rick on August 25, 2008 at 12:04 PM
hello…
can you hear me now?
Scouter on August 25, 2008 at 12:04 PM
“McGovern style ass-whipping?”
sadly, no — the country has changed [and prolly not for the better overall!] since ‘72 …
a solid electoral win [over 300EVs] for JSM presuming he stays on the straight and narrow? much more likely …
Buckaroo on August 25, 2008 at 12:04 PM
morning all from AZ. home of the RINO guy. long time reader and newbie poster. enjoy the info and humor from you all, especially cyber cipher’s talking/keyboard pounding collie.

Not to mention that his diet consists of raw meat laced with ground-up bits of razor blades.

CyberCipher on August 25, 2008 at 12:06 PM
Alright, so glad I didn’t miss this as I have been away for a couple of days. Man, HA and MM both within a couple of weeks. What have I done to deserve such an honor and a privilege? Hope I can be as good a contributor as so many that I have been reading here for the last couple of years.
