Trolls, indeed.
I'm somewhat disappointed to see your post, "Andy." Disappointed, but not surprised. Unfortunately, it's typical of what passes for a leftist's "intelligent contribution" to discussion.
*sigh*
Now, why in the world would
Now, why in the world would you think that Andy's post was directed at you?
So, I'm just curious. Is this a full time gig? Do they pay you to monitor more than one blog, or just this one?
Is this a full time gig? Do
The lack of a snappy response leads me to believe you may have hit a nerve.
Seriously.
I had no idea you had bad teeth, sunken yellow eyes, green warty skin and a massive protruberance where your nose should be. Had I known, I might have chosen a different picture.
My bad. I should be more sensitive to the troglodyte-Americans in the audience.

I know. You know. Isn't this the part where we ignore them?
Naw...it's fun to bait 'em,
Naw...it's fun to bait 'em, then watch 'em run off crying when they realize not all liberals are pushovers and pansies...
....checking the logs...
....on a server that I use to host various TN State House websites....guess what I find A LOT of today?
Tons (thousands) of http requests from a machine who's reverse DNS is mail.brysonforgovernor.com. Anyone else see this in their server logs (or site meters, for those who don't have access to the logs).
Pretty much my policy, Eleanor A.
As long as we don't let ourselves get too distracted from the bigger picture, it's easy to expose them for the pea brains they are. If they aren't, then let 'em by gawd stick up and fight. Only then can they escape the troll tag.
Maybe Tom will visit?
Maybe Tom Nevens will come visit. Of course under a different name....
I was telling the SKB/Nevens story last night. It got many laughs!

Ah, the good old days.
Yup
We gots some righties hereabouts, I don't agree with 'em, but I wouldn't call them trolls. Many of 'em can make arguments for their positions. I don't agree with those either, but often I can (sort of) see where they're coming from.
Now. This personal-smear stuff? I don't think many of our regulars would have much time for that, on either side of the aisle. At least partly because it's not nearly as fun to argue over...
