Not to be an ass-kiss, but I think your Evacuation Day post is one of the funniest things I've read on this site in a while. Well done!

I would just like to say that you have been on FIRE lately! That ACORN piece is a thing of frigging beauty.

omg the message below mine is so crazy never forget!!!

Well done.

It is vitally important that you shut down and shut up anyone who puts forth troublesome facts about 9/11. The "official story" should never be challenged by details or history or evidence--and those who would dare should immediately be linked to Holocaust deniers, because to point out troublesome, insufficiently investigated facts is, for our purposes, just like saying the Holocaust never happened.

Works like a charm.

Never get drawn into the quagmire of facts or circumstances when you can just slander the questioners, just preemptively blast away the very notion of questioning. Even if they don't have a wild theory for what happened, paint them as if they do--skepticism equals outrageous fantasies.

For the "official story" is sacred. It was Muslims who hate our freedoms. Period. How they did it--not important. They just did it.

Don't ever, ever let people dwell on anything that distracts from that basic brand proposition. Protect big lies by keeping away from little ones. You know... documents forged to link hijackers to training in Iraq or link Iraq to uranium from Niger. So what? Let Seymour Hersh jerk off for a handful of egghead nerds on the Upper West Side. It's just a few little lies that slipped out.

So long as the big lies remain sacred and protected, fuck it.

People are watching. You haven't let them down.

Keep up the good work.

You'll surely be tested again.

hey there, pardner. don't know if you've been following the provocative exchange that has continued in regard to the Olbermann post from yesterday afternoon, but I highly recommend checking in! cheers!

Your articles just get better and better. I loved the Obama Attack Ad post.

I don't know if I have you to thank for the reappearance of my star and/or for having it in the first place, but at any rate, thank you! It's funny how something like a little star can make a grown adults day. I appreciate it and appreciate all your brilliant writing.

Hi Alex, I just wanted to ask if there was anything behind the scenes that I wasn't aware of. Did I do anything wrong? Length? That is definitely a problem in my commenting. Sorry! Will try harder to distill things to their essence. I was just wondering because I noticed to my delight that I had a star today. But, now, it's gone. I don't know why I had it for a moment, but it was lovely. Just wanted to make sure I'm cool with everyone and if no, then what I should do better. Thanks! Sorry, no email at the moment. I'm between accounts. -Caryn

Suppressing unpopular speech is always trivial if you're the one doing the suppressing.

*Ahem* I don't know if anyone important has noticed your 5 figures of viewing madness, but -- Go Pareene! with your Diggity self.
