Most awful hack job, but my kid likes it

OK! I can hold it no longer! The OP's asinine opening with an insipid pix of some brat holding a potentially dangerous device was merely a tool used to hone his trolling ability. Apparently, many RCM subscribers were "trolled up" by this expert. No matter that the basic premise gravitated to other subjects, as RCM posts nearly always tend to do, many otherwise intelligent posters went for this particular bit of troll bait. Further supporting my contention is the greatest "troll master" of them all, the ubiquitous "Cliff", was notably absent from the generated thread.

I read in sci.electronics.design that Winfield Hill wrote (in ) about 'Most awful hack job, but my kid likes it', on Sun, 6 Nov 2005:

Can any such person be postulated, though? (;-)

Regarding Bush, calling him a liar is simply stating the facts. (and yes, I think that Clinton was a liar too, just stating the obvious).

I also suspect quite strongly that Bush resumes drinking again.

"Flying leap", was a strong remark??? Gads man...are you new to Usenet? Btw...did you notice the ?

Yeah, like those. We all know how accurate the NYT is, don't we. Yellow Journalism, alive and well in 2005 America.

Well, I watch Fox news and CNN, both of which tend to editorialize the news. I just try to filter out the noise by doing a little research on their 'sources'.

Written, none of the rags impress me. I get the AP News Wire in raw format. Sure, the stories are by people and still tend to be editorialized with either a Right or Left slant, dependent upon the originating reporter/news organiation, however, the raw stories on the AP wire usually have verifiable sources that you can qualify on your own.

Not giving any of them a buy here.

Tillman

So Tilly.... this begs the question... What are *your* favorite news sources?

Like Time, NewsWeek, WashPost, and the NYT? ;-)

No, acually Win is not new to the Usenet at all. He's a well respected author and engineer, but for some reason he thinks he must defend Rich, the SED drunk-n-druggie. Oh, and he's also a leftist Masshole.

Of course not. Lefties never smile.

Perhaps.

Please do find another "news" source.

Thank you.

I recall (perhaps incorrectly) that I read an article about that in either WP or Salon. It made me think about it and I think that it is more likely than not that indeed Bush resumed drinking.

Actually..those are hardly strong remarks either. Pointed, pithy and often derogotory..but..shrug

"Now if some briaindead Marxist f***ot wants to spew s*it and piss all over the net...he can kiss my rosey red rectum, and enjoy all the nuts and dingleberries he can scrape off the rim." And so forth. Those would be considered strong remarks. And of course..if one simply goes to Google Groups and enters the word Nazi+f***ot..one will find the largest number of folks using those two terms alone, are Leftwingers

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the s*it out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner

Hey, when I was a kid we had these hot-dog cookers that just put 120VAC through the hot dog. I think later models had a door with some kind of interlock on it.

And way before that I figured out that with a filament transformer and a battery that you can make some semi-impressive voltages, enough to give someone a good jolt.

Never mind the Number 6 cell hooked up to the nail file to make sparks and a good amount of RFI as you drag the wire across it :-). For some reason the FCC doesn't require Part 15 certifcation of nail files but I can guarantee you I made a lot more RFI with those than with anything else I ever made!

I would agree that Bush is again drinking....and has been for quite awhile. In my opinion, I suspect that he never stopped. Alcoholism is never cured...only controlled day by day.

Remember the choking preztel? One very bad episode where the babysitter supplied by the public almost lost a President.

Ever notice the dozens of vacations to his ranch to "clear bush"? All opportunities to drink and dry out...the signature of an alcoholic falling off the wagon and then getting back on.

Presidental staffs have a long history of hiding health problems from the public. Don't think for a moment that this administration is any different.

TMT

Jim,

The D.C. that you experience is not the one the President does.

His needs and wants are supplied by others...he never gets to experience the real world like you or I.

In a recent news story Bush revealed that he only carries a hankerchief in his pockets...he has no need for anything else since others provide it to him with your and my tax dollars.

good friend of a highly regarded (Republican if matters) politician whose name you would recognize. In public, he is "sober" and idolized. In private, he is a fall down, pee in your pants drunk.

The vast majority of alcoholics are "functional alcoholics" where the public (and many times their own families) never know the extent of the illiness. I have also had family members, who only after many years later, did I fully realize the extent of their problem.

As I said before, alcoholism is never cured...only controlled day by day.

And who-the-f*ck IS "Bob (calls a troll by any other name a troll) Swinney"?

Go away!

Plonk!

Same here... don't remember one with a door.

I discovered that with the motor that came with my erector set.

I just loved screwing up AM reception on the sly ;-)

...Jim Thompson

Nonsense. Way too many public appearances to be just drunk in between.

Ever lived in D.C.? I have. A sheer garbage hole... even worse than Boston ;-) I too would get away from that s*it as often as I could.
