We’re pleased to announce the launch of our newest feature at Hot Air, the Green Room! We’ve created space for some of our most respected commenters to blog themselves right here at Hot Air and lead their own discussions. For this launch, we’ve begun with the following members of the Hot Air community:
- Andy Levy
- Tanya
- Jim Treacher
- Slublog
- Karl
- CK McLeod
- Kid from Brooklyn
- Patrick Ishmael
- Madison Conservative
- SDillard
- Keemo

We’ll gradually broaden this as time goes on, and the Green Room builds a following. Allahpundit and I will crosspost some of the most popular topics on occasion, too. You may have already noticed the feature link at the top of the page — be sure to check this out, as our Green Room bloggers have already begun. Add the RSS link to your feedreaders, too, to stay current with the fast-moving conversations!

I’ll be at the one in Virginia Beach, with my three kids in tow. It’ll be fun!

Please tell me you forgot the sarc notice!
jwp1964 on April 13, 2009 at 7:06 PM
It’s a free country. Post what you want to say if you believe in it. Thoughtful comments don’t have to be a page long policy dissertation!
Kevin in Southern Illinois on April 13, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Lox, come back. I am not ever sure what you are talking about. If you called me a troll.. big deal… not like it hasn’t happened before.
upinak on April 13, 2009 at 7:07 PM
Ye’ve made me wench weep, ye bloody sassafrass, wccawa! Ye’ll be ridin’ me claymore te glory!
You won’t. I’ll be the one in sandals, and a t-shirt with a reference from the book “American Psycho”. Better to blend in with the enemy. I might be able to root out some “citizen journalists”. What do you think of a sign that says “Somali privateers: No blood for oil!”?
Shocker.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:11 PM
MC,
I think you’d do yourself justice, as well as others, just admitting you’re a clueless doofus, but willing to learn.
TTheoLogan on April 13, 2009 at 7:13 PM
We, in our benevolence, are willing to teach you.
TTheoLogan on April 13, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Mad and if Allah actually goes with a Troll Hole… oh man, I don’t think HA will ever be the same.
upinak on April 13, 2009 at 7:14 PM
There are always more. Look at the poster above you, and have faith.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:15 PM
NO DOCTORZERO, NO PEACE.
(I’m trying to get a chant started here.)
capitalist piglet on April 13, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Dude, you hate MC like he was from the old neighboorhood, eh?
Geez. When did this thread turn so black?
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Enjoy the stalking.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Look Meghan,
Calling people names isn’t a way to solve your problems.
TTheoLogan on April 13, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Apparently this tool bag didn’t like me refusing to differentiate between Syrian neo-nazis and jihadi loons. Sort of like daring to lump White Nationalists and KKK members in the same bag. I was so pwned.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:17 PM
No, I didn’t like you being proud of your ignorance in spite of the easily available truth.
TTheoLogan on April 13, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Do you need an Aussie perspective? Then how about me? Or am I not respected? Sniff :(
maggieo on April 13, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Your grudge is telling. Keep on keepin’ on.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:21 PM
Twain comes to mind…
“I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.”
But kumbaya, y’all! We’re all Syrian neo-nazi/jihadi loons here. Group hug??
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 7:21 PM
I’m sorry, I just missed the blaring stupidity of one of the comments here.
He just lumped in Arabs with Adryan Neo-Nazis. Yeah, all the pro-Aryan people are all about the islamization of Europe.
TTheoLogan on April 13, 2009 at 7:22 PM
Aryan.
TTheoLogan on April 13, 2009 at 7:22 PM
Silly Meghan, what grudge?
TTheoLogan on April 13, 2009 at 7:22 PM
I’m going.
Cindy Munford on April 13, 2009 at 7:24 PM
This idea simply reeks of delusions of adequacy!
benny shakar on April 13, 2009 at 7:26 PM
Follow me into this alleyway, mi compadre! Have I shown you my new katana?
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:26 PM
This Green Room thing should make for some interesting conversations…
Send_Me on April 13, 2009 at 7:28 PM
No, but did you finally get that rad Penis Pump you’d been saving up for?
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 7:28 PM
upinak, you should add MB4.
Weight of Glory on April 13, 2009 at 7:29 PM
What’s going on here?
peacenprosperity on April 13, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Oh wait you got him already. Missed him the first time through.
Weight of Glory on April 13, 2009 at 7:30 PM
Late to this party!
The rate things are going, you’ll need “Hot Air II.”
Donald Douglas on April 13, 2009 at 7:30 PM
Count me in. I spent the afternoon making many, many signs with a bunch of other tax-weary friends.
onlineanalyst on April 13, 2009 at 7:31 PM
Hey! I get a top-of-the-line insult off to MC and it gets moderated?
NO FAIR, AP!!!!
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 7:32 PM
I spent my teen years there. Kempsville grad.
jgapinoy on April 13, 2009 at 7:32 PM
What about a chat room idea? It’d be a way for those of us that like to converse about all manner of things to do so without hijacking threads all the time.
Or, maybe, pretty please, a few more open threads every now and again?
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Oh wonderful, another great site that stands at the precipice and stares into the gaping jaws of masturbatory self linking tedium.
Here’s a suggestion — put the authors and their most recent posts on the sidebar above the Hot Links and avoid putting them in the headlines — Headlines are for headlines — without the HA identifier.
If it is a really good post put them in the main page!
David
LifeTrek on April 13, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Me, too!
TeeDee on April 13, 2009 at 7:34 PM
We live in Kempsville. Small world, eh?
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 7:35 PM
I say add benny shakar to the Green Room so can write his two sentence long posts insulting Sarah Palin. RED MEAT!

terryannonline on April 13, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Another vote for Doctor Zero!
Kensington on April 13, 2009 at 7:36 PM
On a serious note someone mentioned baldilocks. I think she should get invited to the Green Room, she has great insights.
terryannonline on April 13, 2009 at 7:37 PM
Man, just about every long-time commenter is on upinak’s list but me. I guess I’ve been absent too much lately! LOL!
aero on April 13, 2009 at 7:38 PM
We have all disagreed with one another, move on. You look foolish.
Cindy Munford on April 13, 2009 at 7:38 PM
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Cindy Munford on April 13, 2009 at 7:39 PM
I did, but they didn’t have any big enough to fit the monster which ravaged you, your gunsel, and your dog.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:39 PM
I understand. Things have changed, even in the short time that we’ve lived here. I won’t be looking back, if we ever sell our house.
It’s a shame, because VB was a nice place when I was little. Although, my memory has been pretty bad lately, so take that with the obligatory grain of salt.
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 7:42 PM
I cant believe nobody suggested me… I think I’m hurt… ;(
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 7:44 PM
My 80 year old mother, myself and my daughter are going to the Tea Party here in Denver. I know of quite a few others that are going too.
reshas1 on April 13, 2009 at 7:45 PM
That would certainly explain your recent vacation in my neck o’the woods to Enumclaw.
You’re such a, ummm… stud.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Me.
peacenprosperity on April 13, 2009 at 7:45 PM
You missed INC.
jgapinoy on April 13, 2009 at 7:46 PM
I swear you’ve been missing for a while. I mean, I see your name every now and again, but I think only recently. You can have my place on the list. : )
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 7:46 PM
We meet again, Mr. Hands.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:47 PM
As I posted earlier, be of good cheer!
We get to feast on their flesh once the sun goes down.
Doncha feel better now?
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 7:48 PM
I also think that MadCon and wccawa need their own permaflame thread. Comedy gold!
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 7:49 PM
MB4 was so amazingly Anti-McCain that he even exceeded me.
Those halcyon days of yore….
TexasJew on April 13, 2009 at 7:49 PM
What the…?
I thought you were Grizzly Man!
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:50 PM
I hear “MadCon gets me so flaming hot, but I think that wccawa feller is a flaming queen.”
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:51 PM
That you Gutfeld?
;/
soundingboard on April 13, 2009 at 7:51 PM
Oh I’ve been around… I was just sulking lurking and licking my wounds after Fred Thompson dropped out…
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Flaming idiots comes to mind.
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Wait a second. About a hundred comments ago, weren’t you Mr. Sticky Hands or something?
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Some good posters missing from the list –
FloatingRock, Justfinethanks, Hicsuget, CountToTen, CindyMunford, Aengus, Terryannonline, Spiritof1776 (something like that), WeightOfGlory. All posters I make a point of reading carefully, agree or disagree.
RightOFLeft on April 13, 2009 at 7:53 PM
I feel your pain.
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Cindy Mumford, what’s makes you think you wouldn’t have some wonderful ideas for some threads and be able to guide the comments? I think if you were ever offered you should try.
hawkdriver on April 13, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Forgot OldEnglish.
RightOFLeft on April 13, 2009 at 7:54 PM
SlippyFist! Get it right or you stay in the box for a week this time!
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:54 PM
ROTFLMAO…. Me…. na, just some old former rock star with an 1984 Corvette… ;P
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 7:55 PM
I hear “Your masculine vigor and virility knock me into a stupor!”
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Well, I certainly have heard that you are great at sex.
All you need now is a partner.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Oh thanks. I mostly follow the media. I like to write about media bias. I haven’t been able to keep up my personal blog because I just got a new job.
terryannonline on April 13, 2009 at 7:55 PM
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:54 PM
This thread is turning into a SaintOlaf bitchfight.
TexasJew on April 13, 2009 at 7:56 PM
I’d like to see Maverick Muse.
Maquis on April 13, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Awww…list keeps getting longer, but yet…
If I don’t make the list, does that mean I can snatch Allah’s “King of the Beta Males” crown?
soundingboard on April 13, 2009 at 7:56 PM
And how is your mother?
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 7:57 PM
My serious nominees:
jpapinoy
Hornet Sting
Jianxi Dad
Kini
hillbillyjim
Terrye
and someone named sven…
I’m sure there are a lot I missed.
Further, in the name of diversity, I say we at least let one troll in (this is not serious…)
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Only if you paid $900.00 for a iPhone two days before the price dropped to a hundred bucks… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 7:59 PM
I beg to differ. I think this catfight is OT, profane, boring, & a waste of space.
jgapinoy on April 13, 2009 at 7:59 PM
I would probably have a pretty tough time if they did that. It would be tantamount to the Fairness Doctrine in my book. Let them go to DU or HuffPo and suck eggs.
hawkdriver on April 13, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Funny you should ask that. She just called me and said she was so thankful I able to get all the oxygen I needed at birth, unlike a certain

In other words a blog version of American Idol…. ;)
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Forgot Ynot, too. Ok, that’s seriously everybody now.
RightOFLeft on April 13, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Redskins suck.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:01 PM
I’m humbled & honored. Whether or not I end up in this GR, I’ll try to live up to your expectations.
jgapinoy on April 13, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Shhhhh… it’s THERAPY.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Pot, meet kettle.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:01 PM
De Nada, and congrats on the new job. This is a really good community of posters, in general. AP must have had his work cut out for him.

Not to mention a very large stash of Newcastle’s…. ;)

Quick… Put some corned-beef and cabbage in the kettle…. ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Ahh, thanks, upstater85. You have to add yourself too. We should have a separate smartaleck room for people like us. Kingjester too!
HornetSting on April 13, 2009 at 8:05 PM
You son of a…
…can I get some Guinness with that? And a green-eyed redhead?
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:06 PM
Thanks. I do hope to become a professional blogger some day. David Frum and Meghan McCain are my blogging inspiration :)
terryannonline on April 13, 2009 at 8:06 PM
Madison, are you having an Irish feast at your house and didn’t invite me? I’ll bring the Irish whiskey and soda bread…..
HornetSting on April 13, 2009 at 8:07 PM
So Obama supports the phone surveillance security measures now, as well as state secrets privilege.
Bush apparently was right all along, think Obama will ever say this? I wonder if Jake Tapper will hammer Gibbs over this. It was one of Obama’s main campaign battlecries.
Daemonocracy on April 13, 2009 at 8:08 PM
Guinness, not a problem…. The green-eyed redhead might be, er… ummmm shall we say…. Slightly used…. ;)
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:08 PM
More like your overpowering manly stench knocked me into a stupor. Water isn’t just for wet t-shirt contests, you know.
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 8:09 PM
We need somr Ron Paulers in the Green Room.
Nelsen on April 13, 2009 at 8:09 PM
Ironically enough, I was reminded of my blood this weekend at my aunt’s house. She brought home Dublin.
