THE LONG, SLOW GOODBYE
|
Friends, partisans and old pals of every stripe, I beg your forgiveness for my extended absence, and for the lack of any substantial explanation thereof. At this point, it probably won't come as much of a shock to you that, after seven years and five months of bringing you the Dirt as I've seen it on a daily basis, the party's over.
In many ways, and for many reasons, this is one of the most difficult editorials I've ever had to write. Maybe that's why it's taken me the better part of three months to do so. One of the complicating factors is that the Dirt hasn't exactly been cancelled yet, so I can't even whip up a proper farewell. This pseudo-demise has left the Dirt, and me, in a peculiar kind of suspended animation. Editorial limbo, if you will.
Here are the hard, cold facts. Because of an ongoing decline in ad revenue and a steady decrease in readership over the years, my employers have decided that my time and talents (such as they are) would be better spent on other projects. Once again, the bottom line turns out to be the bottom line.
The reasons for the Dirt's decline are legion. The arrival of easy-to-use blogging technology a few years ago -- and the subsequent explosion in high quality blogs -- has essentially rendered the Dirt obsolete. Then there's the matter of the increased use of so-called "spam-blockers" that do a real good job of preventing us from delivering announcements to our double-opted-in subscribers, while simultaneously allowing upwards of 90% of actual, unwanted spam to slip through.
Of course, there's also the fact that the Dirt hasn't been much fun of late. When I first took over writing duties on this newsletter, my beat included the slutty shenanigans of third-rate starlets and the gory crimes committed by whatever freak-of-the-week caught my attention. Eventually, a massive terrorist attack, a monstrously conceived war and a string of stolen elections knocked the funny right out of me, like a boot to the stomach. I followed my heart, and lost a lot of readers in the process. Such is life.
Over the years, I have often felt unworthy of my readership, and I am frankly mystified at the generosity, the intelligence and the loyalty many of you have shown. Most of you are far too astute to have put up with my pet obsessions, my grasping meditations and my often obscenely purple prose for as long as you have. And yet, you did. You indulged my years-long transformation from Jester to Cassandra and tolerated my interminable loggorhea. To you, the hard core, the few thousands who have stuck with me and contributed to the Dirt from the beginning, I am eternally grateful.
I am also grateful to the following individuals: Pig McBaker, my predecessor on the Daily Dirt, who took an intermittently-published e-rag and applied some writerly discipline to it, thus multiplying the subscription base tenfold. My former assistant Lori, who put up with a lot of crap for a couple years before being downsized. My l'il buddy Jover, who provided three of the Dirt's five design overhauls before moving on to greener pastures. Mel Rosedale, a true visionary in adult entertainment, for rescuing me from computer peripherals wholesale. There are others to whom I am grateful, but they probably wouldn't want to be mentioned in this space, so they shall remain nameless. They know who they are.
So… is this goodbye? No, it isn't. I will continue to update the Daily Dirt on a weekly basis from this point on -- perhaps on an accelerated schedule to start with, to make up for all those missed weeks -- for as long as I can. I will also send out e-mail notices every time we update, for the scant few who are capable of receiving them. In the meantime, here are a few sites for y'all to bookmark so you have something worth visiting on a daily basis...
TOP-TEN FOSTER WEBSITES FOR JERKY'S ORPHANS
11. DAILYROTTEN.COM - Your one-stop shop for all your bizarre news needs.
10. BRADBLOG.COM - Brad Friedman is Quincy to America's defunct election system, and his pug-ugly website serves as its ongoing autopsy. He's all over this inexplicably ignored tragedy, like white on Condi Rice.
9. BARTCOP.COM - Yer old pal Jerky first became addicted to Bartcop's website well over a decade ago, when it was called "Rush Limba - Lying Nazi Whore". Today, Bart is still serving up daily helpings of rage-fueled satire and commentary on that familiar orange website of his. An old pal, indeed!
8. ANTIWAR.COM - The best anti-war news, viewpoints and activities from a Libertarian and traditional conservative point of view. Online home of must-read columnist Justin Raimondo.
7. PRISONPLANET.COM - One of the most comprehensive and frequently updated parapolitical news blogs out there. Just set your bullshit meters to "high" and you should be safe.
6. BUZZFLASH.COM - A great roundup of unabashedly liberal-biased news items, commentary, analysis and editorials.
5. MEDIAMATTERS.ORG - Quite possibly the Right's most hated site, because it's one of the most devastating. And yet, all Media Matters does is provide verbatim, in-context quotes and videos documenting the rising tide of conservative lies, bias and bile in the mainstream media.
4. CROOKSANDLIARS.COM - Similar to Media Matters, only less formal and politically correct. Media Matters presents the facts and leaves it at that. CrooksAndLiars presents the facts, then follows it up with a smack upside the head. Unlike Media Matters, they don't concentrate exclusively on the negative. Daily Show clips and Olbermann commentaries are regular staples, for instance.
3. TRUTHOUT.ORG - Be sure to sign up for their regular e-mail updates, and set up a special folder in your e-mail client reserved just for their multiple daily news update mailings.
2. ALTERNET.COM - Excellent, comprehensive coverage and analysis of current events from an intelligent and progressive perspective.
1. RAWSTORY.COM - Alternet's rambunctious little brother. It's kind of like The Drudge Report, only without the closeted homosexual, borderline retarded, egomaniacal namesake.

JOKES!

Today's first joke was sent in by Trembly Dale!
A man goes to a dentist to have a tooth pulled. The dentist pulls out a needle.
"No way! No needles! I hate needles!" the patient said.
The dentist starts to hook up the laughing gas and the man again objects.
"I can't do the gas thing - the thought of having the gas mask on is suffocating to me!"
The dentist then asks if the man has any objection to taking a pill.
"No objection", the patient says, "I am fine with pills".
The dentist left for a moment and when he returned, says "Here is a Viagra tablet."
The patient says, "Wow - I didn't know the V-Pill worked as a pain killer!"
"It doesn't," said the dentist, "but it will give you something to hold onto when I pull out your tooth."
*** *** ***
Thanks to our old pal Naveed for sending in today's second joke.
An Italian, a Frenchman and a Mexican are drinking at a bar discussing what they had done the previous evening.
The Italian says: "Last night I massaged my wife all over her body with the finest olive oil then we made passionate love and I made her scream nonstop for five minutes."
The Frenchman says: "Last night I massaged my wife all over her body with a special aphrodisiac oil then we made passionate love. I made her scream for fifteen minutes straight."
The Mexican says: "That's nothing. Last night I massaged my wife all over her body with a special butter. I caressed her entire body with the butter then made love and I made her scream for two consecutive hours "
The Italian and Frenchman, astonished, ask, "Two hours, phenomenal! How did you do it to make her scream for two hours?"
"I wiped my hands on the curtains."

WORST JOKE OF THE DAY
|
Today's groaner was sent in by Dave on Dope...
Once, a gay man went to heaven. At the Great Gate Saint Peter was waiting for him. After reviewing his records Saint Peter decided to let him in. "Follow me." he said, opening the gate and walking in.
After some walk, Saint Peter's keys accidentally fell on the ground. Unaware, he bent over to pick up the keys. That was something the gay man just couldn't resist, so he jumped on him and did his thing.
Saint Peter was furious. "If you do that again, you'll go straight to hell! Follow me, we're almost there."
After some more Peter dropped his keys again, and again, the gay man jumped on him. Saint Peter was even more furious than before, but decided to give the gay guy one last chance.
Again they walk and for the third time Peter drops his keys, so he bends over and picks them up. The gay guy, having no self control jumps on him. Peter is now fed up and sends the gay guy straight to hell.
A few weeks later, Saint Peter goes down to hell for his routine inspection, but this time something is wrong, it is freezing, no fire, no lava and in one corner, he finds the devil lying under a stack of blankets freezing his ass off.
"Why is it so god damn cold down here?" Peter asks.
"Well, you just try bending down for firewood!!" The devil replied.

THEY SAID IT!

"I hurt more than anyone could imagine and without my faith your constant cruelty would destroy me. ... Each time you print it hurts my family and now I have lost them along with everything I have worked for during my 64 years of life. I am human not an animal to keep whipping."
- Disgraced Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham's self-pitying prison letters are an absolute riot. Reading the full versions must be like chicken-soup for the Republican-hater's soul.
*** **** ***
"Secrecy is the freedom zealots dream of: no watchmen to check the door, no accountant to check the books, no judge to check the law. This secret government has no constitution. The rules it follows are the rules it makes up."
- Oddly enough, this Bill Moyers quote is from 1990. The more things change, the more they stay "teh suck".
*** **** ***
"And finally, new rule in two parts: (A) You can't call yourself a think tank if all your ideas are stupid; and (B) If you're someone from one of these think tanks that dreamed up the Iraq War and who predicted that we'd be greeted as liberators, and that we wouldn't need a lot of troops, and that Iraqi oil would pay for the war, that the WMD's would be found, that the looting wasn't problematic, that the mission was accomplished, that the insurgency was in its last throes, that things would get better after the people voted, after the government was formed, after we got Saddam, after we got his kids, after we got Zarqawi, and that whole bloody mess wouldn't turn into a civil war, you have to stop making predictions."
- Bill Maher, making the kind of sense that got him fired from his cushy network gig.

FIRST AMENDMENT ZONE / ASK JERKY!
|
Hey Jerky, While trying to get over a shitty breakup these past couple of days, I realized one thing about people. There's no way you can get them to see things, right things, LOGICAL things, if they don't wanna see it. Like how much you care, or how stupid Dubya is. When broken up with, I was rendered ungrateful and irresponsible, perhaps like a "damn liberal". When asked by others why he broke up with me, the answer given was as inconsistent as not accepting stem cell research because Korea has nukes. So I realized that I shouldn't blame myself if he thinks I'm irresponsible and whatnot (which I'm not), and if I haven't made a difference in many people's minds about the American situation. Cause if the person in front of you is self-centered, stubborn, or just plain fucking stupid, they're not gonna get it. As many times as you bang your head on the wall. I guess my ex would have made a great Republican. Vicky D

Jerky; If you can, watch the PBS program about Jack Abramoff. It will probably be on again, but there is a lot of really good information about how our government really runs. The program is Moyers on America: The case of lobbyist Jack Abramoff. And the discussion after the program is really worthwhile too. David Andrews

Hey Jerky; Very interesting how this happened after a meeting with the church leaders last week by Bush. C Holt

Hey Jerky; The Path to 9/11 was very troubling because it sent the message that the Constitution supposedly got in the way of preventing the attacks on 9/11. Specifically, this “docudrama” reportedly portrays Clinton administration officials reining in CIA operatives ready to strike Osama bin Laden because those officials are hog-tied by legal restraints. That is entirely fabricated by the author and its implication is that 9/11 was made possible by weak people following outmoded laws. The corollary is an endorsement of the Bush administration’s legislative and PR effort to scare the nation and Congress into rewriting and severely restricting our freedoms and legal standards. If weakening the Constitution is your idea of helping America, then this program will be right up your alley. D Andrews
[And yet, it aired. Go figure. - Jerky]

MOPJ, Damn it feels good to write to you once again. In todays news we read of the new Defense budget of $448 Billion dollars for the fiscal year 2007. In it, the Democrats made sure there was a provision against establishing permanent military bases in Iraq. I almost laughed out loud. I knew some information about the permanency of our military in Iraq, but I had just read this a couple of days ago and just went, "WTF?" YOP, Bob

Jerky, The law that Florida, and several other states, has passed allowing the decent gun owners to shoot criminals is one of the best laws ever passed in modern times. Whoever wrote that shitball editorial about it being bad is in dire need of a frontal lobotomy or they truly belong to the Nazi party. Explain to the asshole anti-gunners that some of the politicians are waking up to the needs of the real world. In FL if you get caught shooting a gun during a crime it is automatic 20 yrs in the slammer. That is a good law also. And while I am at why did you not publish my letter about giving President Bush a little credit. I did not say he was perfect, but you gotta admit there have been no more terrorist attacks in the United States since 9/11. Get real for a change. YOP Rembrandt
[I didn't publish your previous letter because it was as stupid as this one, only longer. - Jerky]

Dear Jerky, I watched Keith Olbermann deliver this comment on MSNBC night before last and was enraged to tears... Habeas Corpus has been stripped from the Bill of Rights my friends. I hope you are as outraged as I am and now it is time to spread this depressing news to your friends, family, and co-workers... Regards, Jimmy
[Should we hold a funeral? - Jerky]

Hey Jerky; I uploaded this clip to YouTube recently and I thought you might be interested: This clip has been in several montages about the collapse of the WTC, but this time it's from the terminally flawed Inside the Twin Towers 'docu-drama' that ran on the Discovery Channel for the 5th Anniversary of the event. The special attempts to shore up several of the false claims made by the 9-11 Commission regarding the WTC, namely that the towers were 'hollow steel shafts', which anyone who's done even the least amount of research can discover is false. The special intersplices real 9-11 footage with dramatizations of what is supposedly occurring inside the buildings. Somehow, this clip managed to get into the program with it's audio intact. Not only can you see the explosions racing down the side of the building, but you can hear them now, too. Possibly the best video suggesting WTC controlled demolition that I've ever seen. Jack Frost
[I can't personally vouch for the authenticity of that clip, and I've seen other versions of it with a different soundtrack, so viewer beware... as always. - Jerky]

Dear Jerky; The talking heads of conservative propaganda want you to believe that liberals want to compromise American sovereignty, but in fact it is the Bush administration that is opening up the Mexico/Canada highway corridor to facilitate unlimited access between the three countries as if they were just one country. At the end of March 2005, U.S. President George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin committed their governments to a simple path of cooperation and joint action. The plan is so Simple. Erase the borders. The plan is contained in a "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" agreement that was little noticed when President Bush and President Fox created it in March 2005. Here is a little bit more at this site. David

From original anon : Just yours Six, mine is still there. Yours disappeared a while ago, and made me wonder if you had said a little much with your "old pal" comment for his comfort. Interesting, eh? But with a new Dirt, doesn't matter now--he's BACK!
|
From ambien : Great site!!! Very Cool. Keep up the good work. Very sweet person to chat with. ) Luv, ME
|
From Chuck U Farley : Six, I already admitted that Major Asshole was my own brain-child. I don't know about the others.
|
From Six : Hey Original Anon- our potential old pal deleted our comments!
|
From Six : ...or don't Comment Cop. That's OK because I respect your right to choose. I'll just tell on you to Our Old Pal Admin. He'll smite you right in the delicate starfish and squelch you up all good and frothy like.
Chuck U Farley. Please send me an e-mail to sixlegged at yahoo. Nos vemos.
|
From Comment Cop : Blah blah blah......
You just go on and on and on......
|
From Six : Comment Cop. I mean Frank. Or is it TPTB? Or Major Athho? or YOPF? Or Comment Cop's imaginary cheerleader Mary? Mmmm...androgyny. Great to hear from you again, but you are mistaken. I have never posted under a name other than Six or Sixlegged. Now exactly when did I say I was putting up a website? I must have missed something. Help me understand what you are trying to say.
|
From original anon : I should have added "unfortunately" can find out who I am...
|
From original anon : You dorks, I'm not Six. Anyone in on the RCG oopsie doopsie email fiasco can find out exactly who I am, real name and all. And go to wikispaces dot com and see if you can't set up a site in 5 seconds. I've done it for 2 different classes I am teaching. It's free--try it out.
|
From Mary : Leave it alone comment. He just thinks we're all stupid.
|
From Comment Cop : Long time no see my ass.
You guys tore down Frank claiming he was using "sock puppets" for phony names here you are Six.....using a "sock puppet" and now claiming you're putting up the website.
Mary is right about you. Your entire life is a sock puppet.
|
From Six : Whoa. Long time no see original anon. But yeah, a yahoogroup for the hangers on would be coolero. Dailydirt at yahoogroups dot com. Visonary, or, at the least, very appealing. If I didn't have a date with some nachos I'd start one up right now, but it would take more like 3 minutes rather than thirty seconds. If somebody else doesn't do it I will, and if somebody else does, I want in. Cuz I'm THAT GUY.
|
From Daffy Dolphin : You can't make a site in five seconds.
NOBODY can make a site in five seconds.
I DARE YOU to put together a site in five seconds!
We're waaaaiiiiiitttttttinnng.
|
From original anon : You wanna site to post stuff, just for a stupid Google group or Yahoo group. 5 seconds.
|
From Mary : Sofaking?
Whenever or never is fine by me, sweetie. (smooch)
|
From SofaKing : Anon- You don't hear me saying a word about getting my site up these days. It's everyone else who is asking for it. As far as why it's not up now, it's a lot of work that I'm having a tough time finding time to do. Couple that with the rude demands from d*cks like you and the whole thing hardly seems worth it. As if you're ENTITLED to a new site... hmph. If it's so easy, then why don't you make one?
|
From Anon : went to F's blog. Daddybear, he is being facetious about being published on the internet. I counted three pages of comments, not enough to draw a following. If you want to criticize him do it. keep it real like me. F you are a real "jerk".
SK where's the site? I am itching to post some copy written material on it. A site doesn't take months. Time to put up or shut up.
|
From FireFox : Don't be Bogart'n the boobies, Chuck. Share with the rest of the class.
|
From Chuck U Farley : Mary, how 'bout showing those titties off to the rest of us? (Or maybe just me?)
|
From Mary : Sofa? Call me. (giggle)
|
From daddybear : I knew that would get yousguys going! omg!! BEST LAUGH i HAD ALL WEEK ! sO sOFA WHERES THE SITE MAN HOW ABOUT AN E.T.A. ? But seriously wasn't bashing F just tripping on him. And the stuff on the RCG site isn't half bad . Just trip on the Horay for me and F@ck you Thing he's got going on while he talks to him self on site!
|
From Desperate Celibate : Dear Mary
I am willing but unable to see yout titties I cant even get to a first date never mind the second. Only old hags who want my money can I get laid by who no one wants anyway. So I get no sex
How can I see or touch your titties and can youhelp me get laid?
Desperate in Canada
|
From Six : *Crowd roars, Six places the THAT GUY crown on his head, and accepts a bouquet of roses from the judges*
|
From SofaKing : Nice...) Giggity-giggity!
|
From Mary : No, you are "that guy" Six. Let me lay it out. You haven't woke up in a good mood since 1986, you have hateful pet names like "whore bitch" for your ex-wife who you tell every woman about on the second date (if you get a second date) and you drink too much.
You need a hobby six. And you need to get laid but nobody is volunteering.
And I have great titties SofaKing. They are my best feature.
See?
|
From Six : I find myself on everybody's side regarding YOPF. Even his. A clitboy? Yeah. A guy giving us a place to dump our loads? True. A guy that coughed up something Sofaking hasn't yet? Yep. A whiny little crybaby? Uh-huh. A multiple personalitied sock puppeteer? I think so. A fartsucker with a life he's got to deal with outside dumping his load in the Dirt? You got it. A published author? Maybe. A dude with nine inches of rectum looking for ten inches of schtonk? Perhaps. I could go on.
|
From SofaKing : Show us some titty then, Mary...
|
From Mary : lol you guys gossip like a bunch of old women.
|
From SofaKing : I have not gone to his site recently, but I won't join you guys in bashing on the F. Maybe it's because he accomplished what I've failed to do so far in getting his site up and running, but he did try to make a place for us to gather outside of here. It's too bad he had his 'stick in the mud' moments and decided to take his toys and go home, but I don't think he's a bad guy. Just a little delicate and fragile, like... a pussywillow. Sorry, F- I couldn't resist, ya fag.
|
From FireFox : He must have banned my IP totally. Hahahahahahaha what a little bitch.
|
From daddybearThanks Six updateupdateCmon Everbody : Hey has anyone gone and read RCG lately??? F has a whole bunch of stuff up and NO COMMENTS WHATSOEVER!!!!! Funniest one is him boasting on being a published writer Not by Random house or Hearst Publishing Or some Real Magazine .. He got a different website to post a letter and now he thinks hes a published writer . OMG!!!Roflmao!!!!

From Daffy Dolphin : (sigh)

From spin : ironical??, is that like leadical?
|
From Daffy Dolphin : I was being ironical spin.

From spin : a circle jerk would probably be more appropriate.
prayers not much use to a confirmed athiest
|
From Chuck U Farley : Last time we had one of those, somebody spiked the Hot Cocoa & put French Ticklers on all the candles.
|
From Daffy Dolphin : How about a prayer circle?
Jerky would love that.
|
From spin : hey guys, can we have a little less of the death tribute notices and a little more positive encouragement for oopj. he said he was considering it, its not over till its over, and by my reading of the latest testemant according to jerky, its not over
|
From FireFox : You'll enjoy my advanced course even more then. I'll resend.
|
From Six : Nope. Sometimes I don't get stuff in my yahoo account for a while. However I did figure out how to do the thing with the default site deal. It's working pretty darn good so far and loads faster than IE. Thanks!
|
From FireFox : Hey Six, did you get my foolow-up e-mail about the tabs?
|
From Six : I don't know if David's been to the border lately, but a superhighway isn't a threat to our sovereignty. It seems more like a practical solution to intense traffice and congestion that could reduce commutes from 2 hours to 20 minutes. More, I-35 is already at least half that size, even bigger in metro areas. The thing pracically already exists!
|
From Matt not in Canaduhhhhhhhhh : A sad day indeed...Thanks for the memories.
|
From Dave Walters : To quote Larry King, "You're one of the good guys."
My condolences on losing the Dirt.
I'm not sure who has the greatest loss, you or us.
Frankly, I think it's probably a tie.
My favourite all-time Dirt moment will remain
'Even Nixon got two terms'.
'The corpses are piling up and the wall are only so high'
is a very close second and
'Sometimes the popcorn tastes like shit'
an equally close third.
It'll be interesting to see a Top Ten list of readers' favourite Dirt
|
From spin : ah, that's interesting. I always wondered who the face to jerky was. I know who the writer is but the official face of jerky is half the fun, and that dude is funny.
|
From spin : me too DP.
|
From Beudreaux : What part of the country are you from keith?
I haven't seen the commercial and I live on the west coast.
|
From keith : dont you guys watch tv? this new boardgame is called "scene it" and mopj gets up on a coffeetable and dances , not sure where they found such a sturdy table though
|
From DP : Cheapskates....
I would easily part with $30.00/year and might survive
with a couple issues a week.
If money IS the issue.
|
From don gusman : Well thanks, the internet has value again. I sorely missed your editorials. We need more in this doomed and confused world. Thanks for all your @blogs@
|
From ThousandDemons : And yeah, Six, you're right. He'll be back...it'll just take time is all.
Jerky'll wake up and realise that this is where he's most needed.
As Fakeswede said too, I agree, my political knowledge has risen so that I take on the best of those a$$holes and beat them with pure logic. I'd never have been able to do that without your help, Jerky. As I said previously, you rock!
|
From ThousandDemons : Jerky, it's a pity, honestly. I think you were the best, man. And everything you wrote at the start, you're too hard on yourself. Those other blogs, good though some of them are, are NOTHING compared to the dirt. I look forward to hearing from you in one of the weekly updates you spoke of. You rock, never forget that.
|
From Beudreaux : Wow Storm.....
I'm impressed. You got a website?
|
From StormRider : Dear Jerky
Sorry to hear of the latest turn of the worm. I always found great pleasure in your expression of the bottomless rage any rational human being must be feeling these days. The problem is that the more you express it, the more it consumes you. I still hold that V has the right idea kill the symbols the rats are hiding behind (without killing any person), and maybe -- just maybe -- the people will wake up and take up what they must to regain control of their government and their fates.

From Daffy Dolphin : Keith asks "is that you on the scene it commercial?"
What does that even mean?
|
From spin : come on keith, share with us. what commercial.
which jerky are we talking about. the one who writes or the one who models for the front page?
|
From keith : dear mopj, is that you on the scene it commercial? and does this mean your quiting the dirt to begin and acting carreer?
|
From Six : OK but what kind of paper?
Oh yeah I had a dream lat night. A concept named Teatius Cleat came to me again and I'm still not sure what it means or who it is. I think it has something to do with a sexy lady DJ in Dallas, but can't be sure. Anybody know?
|
From spin : six you cheap a$$, pay what you'd pay for a paper. I'd pay more than that for a dialy dirt.

From Six : I'd like to add my voice to the choir here. I'm no more politically oriented than I ever have been. As I matter of fact, I know TPTB will always be screwing me whether I know it or not, and just don't give a $#!+ one way or the other cuz it's how life's been for millenia and it ain't gonna change. But the 'Dirt's given me the lewd lexicon and power to use sexual references and metaphors in ways I never knew were possible, or even legal for that matter.
|
From fakeswede : I've also been reading this blog for seven years, prior to 911, and it worked alongside me in my susequent political awakening. I know more now because of you. I can argue with the best of 'em and beat em sometimes. As I type, Rumsfeld is being badgered by the white house press corps until he gets flustered and leaves. You helped make this happen in an infinitely small but absolutely meaningful way. Thank you for everything. keep us all posted.
|
From Six : Again, I'd pay $10 a year for a daily- not weekly Dirt subscription. And our old pal Double F is true to his namesake. He's got the sweet $#!+ tweaks for Firefox. Listen to what this gentleman has to say.
|
From original anon : "The arrival of easy-to-use blogging technology a few years ago -- and the subsequent explosion in high quality blogs -- has essentially rendered the Dirt obsolete."
Nothing could be further from the truth, MOPJ! Sure, there are some blogs that I like, but your version of the Dirt is/was something else entirely.
|
From Six : I'm drunk and ate a bunch of painkillers prescribed by my doctor for whatever pain I have. But I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say all you ath hoes are wrong. Jerky's genius came from his ability to turn nasty people into comic book villains and make them fight his Beyonder-like powers. Needless to say, they always lost, and our old pal Jerky The Beyonder taught them lessons that we miss reading about. The 'Dirt had a comic book charm that the mainstream media could never portray due to its

From spin : he's not quitting just yet beudreaux. he's just lost the taste for it a little, but he'll be back once his new daliance dumps him and he starts searching through his past for the last time he felt truly useful,..... not that I'd know anything about that, cough, hemm ummm... got to go
|
From Beudreaux : Yep.....
You were able to put a different spin on everything you wrote about. I'd be amazed to find myself disagreeing with you only to weigh your words and suddenly find myself saying "Gut damn! He's RIGHT!"
Rarely did that happen... except with you. You'll be missed.

From YOP Sherm : Jerky, I've been reading for 7 years meaning I was 12 when I started reading you. Your candid honesty mixed with humor has, in some way shaped my life and my attitudes on a lot of issues.
Shakespeare once said "All the world's a Stage." I Say "Turn it into a comedy."
Jerky, that is what you were able to do and in this world of turmoil and filth, selfishness and greed, and lying and cheating.
Thanks

From Mark : I can feel my legs. DT's are receding.
So very good to read some of your thoughts and links once again.
The Dirt's content is, without a doubt, as good or better than any of the excellent links you have listed. AND...
Here I can be pissed off and laughing and educated all at the same time.
Truth Out asks for $$ every few days.
How much will it take for you to continue informing and entertaining
your loyal following?
My money is where my mouth is.

From Me : Every timeI find a good site this is what happens.

From FireFox : You've got mail, Six....or you will in a few minutes.

From yopf : he's not banned, his ip address is

From AnonaMouse : Frank? Are you there Frankie? Don't you have something to say Frank? Oh, yeah. That's right! I almost forgot! YOU'RE BANNED!!!
Bahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!

From SK : Six, if you type the entire url into your Mozilla Firefox browser once, you should be able to hit the arrow in the address bar and select the site from the drop down menu. I know that doesn't answer your question, but it works for me. I love the Firefox browser. WAY better than IE's pop-up collector.
|
From Six : OK FireFox. Hook me up holmes. I need to make a score. Namely, how do you make Firefox-the Browser- "remember" visited websites like IE does. I wanna type in the letters "D" and "I" and have the 'Files come up in the dropdown. For convenience sake you can reach your old pal 6 at sixlegged at yahoo.
|
From FireFox : I have you taken care of Spin. You've got mail.
|
From Six : The only person who could ever approach our old pal Jerky's status as fu@cking awesome is Commander USA. He used to show Groovie Movies back in the 80s. Apparently he recently got a gig as a doorman or a butler on CSI. Just wanted to let everybody know about that.
|
From spin : I'd be up for those tweaks. have you got my email addie of that msg frank sent out with all our addresses on it.
|
From FireFox : When you get it, drop me a line and I'll give you tweaking info to make it rawk
|
From Six : Spin, the reality is I'm stuck with a PC unless I wander into a library loaded with lube to look up some porn and become a sexual offender, just like the conservatives believe will happen if you allow people to look at porn in a library. Seor Double F, you have a strong point. Perhaps I will start using the Firefox icon on my own rickety PC rather than the tiny lower case "e."
