If KFC is a sign of success, then look at the one in Beijing that is a city block long.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Looks like my access to the readers blog is now disabled, so I will post this here.

…It was the job of intelligence officer Maj. Eric Egland to find out why.

…With American lives at stake, Egland couldn’t imagine how a company like MZM got such a crucial contract. His next assignment took him to a place where he could find the answer: The Pentagon.

There, Egland did some digging and found MZM had gotten millions in Defense contracts - courtesy of Rep. Duke Cunningham, R-Calif., in the form of earmarks, grants of money without the normal public review.

As member of the House Intelligence Committee, Cunningham was able to keep the earmarks even more secret than most by making them “classified.”

“It was not a merit-based process. It was based on sneaking a large contract to a company that had given millions of dollars in bribes and hundreds of thousands of dollars in political contributions to powerful members of Congress,” Egland said.

… The pieces came together when Cunningham and Wade were prosecuted in a wide-ranging bribery scandal. Egland is convinced that the classified earmarks didn’t just waste your tax dollars - they cost American lives.

People died because of this program being done the way it was?” Attkisson asked.

“I really believe so. Absolutely,” Egland said. “I mean the troops wanted to target these networks. But without this critical capability, that was given to unqualified people, they weren’t able to.”

Poor baby!  Maybe it’s due to your prolific lying.

What about the scum gop earmarking millions to a gop front organization and by that, denying our troops armor?

There are only two disabled reader blogs, both of them were spammers.

All of your posts are still up (you can see them here) and when I log in under your account I can access the reader blogs just fine.

It’s a glitch on your end.

Given that I’ve never once censored anything you’ve written here, Boob (and you damn well know it), I’d appreciate the courtesy of an email next time you’re having problems before you go and accuse me of censoring you publicly in the comments section.

realitybasedbob: Telling the truth has consequences.

Right, Nunez.  After years of letting you liberals say whatever you want here I suddenly decided to disable reader blog access to one of the most prolific liberal commentators on the blog...but still give him access to the comments section so he can complain about it.

Next time you guys should try thinking for a moment before you all crawl up on crosses and nail yourselves to them.

So, if he ever starts, there’s a possibility of consequences?

The more traffic on the site, the more it slows down. Don’t flatter yourself that you’re important enough to take notice of!

But, if it gives you a tingle up your leg to think there’s a “get rbb” conspiracy...well, that would make as much sense as anything else you’ve written!

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

.Like there aren’t earmark scum on both sides....

Nevermind

An apology would be nice.

By the way, I’m working on the hosting issues.  We’ve outgrown the current server, and it looks like I’m going to have to invest some money in a change.

Which isn’t great because, thanks to just having moved and had a new baby, I don’t actually have a lot of spare change rolling around right now.

But we’ll figure out something.  We always do.  Until then, please be patient.

Do you need to have explained to you?

I just posted in the readers blog using a work around I found.

The readers post section is still unavailable directly at my end.

rbb is such a victim! He’s never responsible for the consequences of his actions, in his mind.  It’s always someone else’s fault when he doesn’t get what he wants.

Rob - There are only two disabled reader blogs, both of them were spammers.

I’ve zapped a few. The most recent one was embarrassingly in the reader’s section for three or four days.

You hoo ... 108....hellooo....108

Oh yes.
Your 8:15 post where you deflected a bit.
However, your 8:03 post,
“Looks like my access to the readers blog is now disabled, so I will post this here.” , didn’t mention a glitch.

I mentioned a glitch, you idiot, after two commenters insinuated that I had be deliberately cut off…

Nutters crack me up.

Maybe you did after you insinuated otherwise & others caught on to your intent.
BTW....Maybe you should get a new filter for the respirator?
Maybe the fumes are what cause these outbursts?

I enjoy that my comment sparked the reactive natures of many posters here, reflecting their inner hostility and contempt which permeates their lives.

Rob: Calm down, I respect you for allowing different opinions on a ‘neo-conservative’ blog and I have never said a malicious word about you. Bob was ambiguous in his statement and I jokingly replied with my statement which is very ambiguous and does not say that he was banned by you.

So, Rbb, you act like a recalcitrant child and throw your post on another post. Grow up. Oh, and check in to DiFi and her hubby if you want to talk about gross abuse of taxpayer money and stinking contracts.

And Nunez, I like the fact that those on the left love to throw around terms in which they have no understanding. So, without jumping to Wiki, tell us what a “neo-con” is, and what makes Rob one......and don’t worry, we’re just used to folks on the left reflexively playing the victim or being portrayed as a victim, I’m sure you were completely serious. No biggie.

After deliberately insinuating that you’d been cut off and that you had to post irrelevant info in an unrelated topic.

Jackass.

You could just be a man and apologize. You know, since Rob pays money for us all to spout off on his site?

Obama/Biden is not change. It’s more of the same.

So, Rbb, you act like a recalcitrant child and throw your post on another post. Grow up

Yeah, he’ll become adult when pigs fly.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Yeah. Kosher pigs!

Kenny read carefully now....

I wrote something…

Two other commenters mistook what I wrote…

I immediately defended our host by writing:

It could be an internets glitch, I’m not making any claims, just that my access is disabled.

Wipe yourself Kenny, you’re embarrassing yourself.

Sounds like sarcasm. (Why would we expect sarcasm from you, bob?)

Two other commenters mistook what I wrote…

Goes to the quality of your writing, I would think!

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

Wipe yourself Kenny, you’re embarrassing yourself.

So, everyone universally thinks you made a claim that you had been “disabled” because...say it with me....you said your access had been “disabled”.

It’s obviously not partisan as our resident leftists understood you the same way the right wingers did. You claimed you’d been blocked and decided to post your garbage in the comments to others posts. And your “clarification” did state that it could be a glitch...but then immediately went back to the disabled nonsense.

Nobody would be giving you crap for it anymore if you simply said “Sorry Rob. I didn’t mean to say that I’d been disabled, and ACT like it.” It’s not that much to ask…

But Proof nailed it I think:
“Goes to the quality of your writing, I would think!”

Obama/Biden is not change. It’s more of the same.

Kenny, Kenny, Kenny...you rightwingnutbushnuzzling fool you. Please post where I wrote I was ‘blocked’. Ahhhh! You can’t because I didn’t. I did write “my access to the readers blog is now disabled”.

I found another way to access the readers blog. Some people call it a work around. When I found a work around, I commented: never mind.

Kenny, this might be tough for a feller such as yersef, but can you think…ok…can you think of more than one way for an internets connection to become disabled?

If you try real hard like, I’ll bet you can.

Will you try Kenny? Will ya? There ya go, good boy…Kenny’s a good boy…yeah…

When our two other friends chimed in with conspiracy theories, Kenny, what was my response?

Kenny? It’s ok to go back and look, I know how delicate your memory can be.

BTW, were you able to identify the people hinted at in you avatar yet or do you need just a little bit more time?

Do you understand why I posted your avatar and your words with the other picture?  Oh…Never mind, that is something you are avoiding in another post.
