I will irritatingly note, not for the first time either, that it's really quite easy to ignore people, without software assistance and without making a big public pronouncement about it. You might check for the response to any message posted by Ish to me in the past year or so, for just one example.

As for "inflammatory stuff", consumers of mass quantities of swiftvets garbage over in LindyBill land live in quite a glass house on that front. In the amusing aside department, I found some new appplicable terminology in the Sunday paper:

Belligerati: Any belligerent person or group; as a group, pro-war commentators. ( from nytimes.com )

Um. Nobody here or there would fit that particular group, would they? W's faithful have always been polite and respectful toward opposing viewpoints. Appropriately enough, just like the man himself.

Gee, the administration is finally acknowledging the deaths of thousands of Iraqis. In the debate, Cheney is claiming them as "coalition deaths", to reduce the total casualty percentage of Americans.
Amazing and absurd. Nothing like playing the "dead Iraqi card."
