The conversation continues below the fold on that “The NYT – Keeping it fair since 2001″ post.
In case anyone was curious.

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Well, I was curious and satisfied it, unfortunately. It’s always a treat to be called “pious and mealy mouthed” in public.
Ever walked into someone’s house and seen the remnants of what had to have been a rollicking, kick-ass party? Sorry I missed it, but thanks, Lex, for refreshing the post. It was an interesting read.
Kris, I totally agree with you,” pious and mealy mouthed” takes friendly vituperation to an unexceptable level… now “a gushing scold” is frendly vituperation at its’ finest, I’am sure you agree…verdad? Best
so, seriously, we’re not gonna get any stories about killin’ commies???
cuz i was up for hearing about that!
Si, Senor Snake – a “gushing scold” is muy bien compared to the other… but I “tickled” (according to Lex) in my response. Hee Hee.
Kris, Yes you did and well done! Best
PS: Now on to the Kommie Killin stories
Snake – muchas gracias.
Commie killers – don’t hold your breath for a true story on that one…
Senator Lindsey Graham, “What I’m trying to do with my time in the Senate during this whole debate we’re having is to remind the Senate that the rules we set up speak more about us than it does the enemy,” Mr. Graham said in an interview. “The enemy has no rules. They don’t give people trials, they summarily execute them and they’re brutal, inhuman creatures. But when we capture one of them, what we do is about us, not about them.
“Do they deserve, the bad ones, all the rights that are afforded? No. But are we required to do it because of what we believe? Yes.”
