I’ve waited so long for registration to open that I’ve forgotten what I was going to say.
Ray Flicker on February 16, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Figured it was safe to just throw a random (non)-comment in this thread to make sure I know how this thing works. Hopefully, I’ll have something more substantive to say soon enough.
jdp629 on February 16, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Great to be here amongst many like minded folks.
cfineart on February 16, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Longtime Malkin fan, daily reader, very happy to get an account that can comment. Thanks.
epsilon on February 16, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Welcome to our newest contributors. This is a great place to share information and opinions with others of wit and depth.
Entelechy: That CFP piece gathers in one succinct article the mystery and danger of Obama. Our incurious media have not done their vetting jobs to the detriment of our nation.
onlineanalyst on February 16, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Good names, both for you and the ‘doctrine’. I’ve been trying to come up with one to characterize the Orwellian ‘Fairness Doctrine’, and the Fascist Doctrine might be it.
I followed Ed Morrissey to this site from his late, lamented Captain’s Quarters blog, and I’m glad I did, though CQ was less given to endless strings of one-liners (or paragraphs which should have been one-liners—including, arguably, this one).
With more members, these threads will take even longer to get through, which means I’ll read fewer of them (when one of you figures out how to expand Time, let me know). But welcome to one of my two favorite conservative sites on the Internet (the other being Power Line).
MrLynn on February 16, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Glad to be here!
joemarier on February 16, 2009 at 9:56 PM
My second posting…
Started reading HA right after the 08 election and was amazed at all the people actually against Obama and what danger this new administration poses to our nation.
The liberals would lead you to mis believe conservative voices are dwindling….don’t buy into that. Stand strong.
I have not watched national TV news in months.I have not believed national printed news in months either.
felix on February 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Malkin fan here, but I’m sure I’ll be spending a fair amount of time here as well.
Now what?
charliebrownat40 on February 16, 2009 at 9:59 PM
I haven’t bought into it since well before the first liberal started screaming like a child of how Bush supposedly “stole” the 2000 election. You know, right after Gore conceded.
charliebrownat40 on February 16, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Sweetness!
I was just wondering a couple of days ago if I would ever be so lucky.
Aye Chihuahua on February 16, 2009 at 10:02 PM

Are all of the comments moderated here?
Is that why my first one is not showing?

libertytreegardner on February 16, 2009 at 10:09 PM
I don’t know where else to post this, but is anyone watching Palin’s daughter on Greta right now?
Sarah is coming on now with the baby
Elisa on February 16, 2009 at 10:14 PM
WOOHOO!! Welcome to Hot Air!…from a longtime fan of the Captain
kellyjane on February 16, 2009 at 10:15 PM
They seem to be advocating abstinence and reducing teenage pregnancy.
If you missed it, watch the replay later.
It’s still on now though
Elisa on February 16, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Finally! I can join in on the fun.
talking ocean on February 16, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Woo hoo! So glad to be here, I’m a long time reader who seems to always miss open registration. Thanks Hot Air!
citrus on February 16, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Third posting………
Now I can vent and rage about the upcoming infrastructure work…having worked in road/bridge/structure construction, in engineering for 32 years, please understand this work in the stimulus will incur thousands of un-necessary bureaucrats…to administer the the spending of this money.
Those jobs (work) won’t go away, the rod busters, paving crews,hourly labor will. The Federal dole rolls on.
felix on February 16, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Wow. Nine hundred gazillion posts since this morning? I’m duly impressed. Hell of a thread…
wccawa on February 16, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Your first comment as a newbie is always moderated, Allah or Ed will approve it….after that, you’re good.

DaveKlassix on February 16, 2009 at 10:22 PM
1 post down……many more to go!
orthopod2b on February 16, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Seriously, the Palin family is the most interesting and intriguing political personalities out there. lol
Sarah is going to talk about Oboma’s stimulus package next.
For all others who are interested in her like I am, definately watch Greta’s replay later. Maybe someone can link the video here for tomorrow.
Elisa on February 16, 2009 at 10:23 PM
WooHoo! I made it! Thanks!
thedailyhypocrisy on February 16, 2009 at 10:26 PM
I can’t believe I finally caught this in time.
accidental tourist on February 16, 2009 at 10:33 PM
just saw Gov. Palin on Greta. Two word sum it up. Veto and Fairness Doctrine
Clyde5445 on February 16, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Welcome to the new members. I hope you are here in a sincere and add tot the debate way.
I just saw Palin on Greta too. I think she is incredible. She is the only person who can talk about Obama in a rational and normal way. She gets in her good points clearly and concisely.
CCRWM on February 16, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Wow…everyone must have been waiting to join with all the cool kids!
Bob's Kid on February 16, 2009 at 10:39 PM
I am sincere and a fan of Gov. Palins. To me O is a trained seal.
Clyde5445 on February 16, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Ok, do they moderate comments or did I forget to hit submit after I previewed? Arrgh (Boy, I’ll be a real asset here, won’t I?)
accidental tourist on February 16, 2009 at 10:45 PM
Another wave!
This is so funny. Like a freshman class. Are you guys pledging Alpha Lamda Ed or Beta Male Allah?
Get out the paddles, there’s plebes to smack.
hawkdriver on February 16, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Glad to be a part of the conversation.
Loved the Steeler posts Ed.
Good job keeping up the angst Allah, and keep in mind that there may be a nonfrightful existance known through God.
I don’t agree with Michelle, but enjoy reading her blogs.
And, I cashed the $600 stimulus ( socialist welfare ) check from the Bush Gubment.
Cheers
disillusioned on February 16, 2009 at 10:49 PM
I was moved too, but this is what I was talking about.
It’s pretty gutsy, I think. And what he wants is no excuses. And that’s good.
Eirenic Rebel on February 16, 2009 at 10:49 PM

NixieKnox on February 16, 2009 at 10:53 PM
I got it. It seemed pretty measured to me. Williams has always seemed fair.
hawkdriver on February 16, 2009 at 10:56 PM
I’ve really enjoyed reading Hot Air. When I first started reading, it struck me that the comments on these blogs are as informative (or entertaining) as the blog itself. Glad to be able to comment now and join the discussion!

Hurrah! Time to add my voice to conversation.

I’m thrilled that I might be able to join in the conversation. I love HotAir and couldn’t live without it! I’m on a minimum of three times a day.

If folks would come back, we might hit a thousand on teh noob thread.
hawkdriver on February 16, 2009 at 11:03 PM
er, “the” noob thread.
hawkdriver on February 16, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Well, this will be fun. I’ve posted on several conservative sites in the past, so I thought I’d try my luck at a “middle-of-the-road” conservative site.
HammerToss on February 16, 2009 at 11:04 PM
And she wasn’t ready for prime time? Please. Her head and her heart are in the right place. Our loss. On her big issue, energy, Obama will have us rubbing sticks while his administration is over-subsidizing a bunch of useless alternative fuels. (Ethanol, how’s that working out? I guess now it will be West Coast rat crap.)
Sigh.

shannonkelly on February 16, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Palin’s biggest mistake was accepting the role as RINO McCain’s running mate. She was badly bruised but WILL bounce back.
TampaBayBull on February 16, 2009 at 11:19 PM
Open reg?
Hmmm…maybe the PJM thing was more serious than I thought.
Anyway, welcome to all the non trolls.

If our country keeps going down the road it is on I think Gov. Palin may answer the CALLING. To those out there that say Gov. Palin does not know policy know JACK.
Clyde5445 on February 16, 2009 at 11:21 PM
should be do not know Jack.

Gov. Palin rocked tonight on Greta! I’ll keep my Palin bumper sticker on the back of my gas-guzzling suv until I trade it in! (I accidentally cut McCain off and threw that part in the trash – ME BAD!)

Counting down the days until we can stop saying “President Obama.”
After a couple of years of President Palin, it won’t seem quite so bad

Hi all. First time post… anywhere…ever. Been a huge fan of Michelle’s for a while now, and have really started turning to sites like this one to keep some sense of sanity and direction in these mind-numbing times.
P.S. I’m from MA, so the numb minds I’m surrounded by usually aren’t any help!
little italy on February 17, 2009 at 2:02 AM
What an HONOR!!!
We need Michelle now more than ever…
Thank You and God Bless Us All!
chestnutt on February 17, 2009 at 2:03 AM
wow. thanks for the opportunity to share pertinent comments.
I’m very interested in the polling numbers for support/oppose Obama and found a page that tracks the daily numbers.
If anyone else is interested in the daily ebb and flow of POTUS approval rating here is the link URL:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/obama_approval_index_history
He’s holding at 60% on Feb. 16 – almost 1 month after he was sworn in to the office January.
Again, thanks.

I’ve been reading this blog so long it feels like I’ve known a lot of you for awhile now. I’m sure that Allahpundit will appreciate that he has one more “Sarah-worshipper” (and I wear such a label with pride) to spar with.
Let the conservative revolution begin!
OlympicLeprechaun on February 17, 2009 at 5:40 AM
This is a very bad idea.
After they establish the fairness doctrine, BIll Ayers will be named head of Internet reeducation and he will have access to all the registration information eventually.
