Folks. I love you all. I think I have the most intelligent commenters of any political blog on the web. From George Wallace to Wallace Stevens. from Peter Parker to Parker Posey, you guys have got it.
But please don't threadjack. If you see a story you want to bring to my attention, send it via e-mail. I try to respond to virtually all e-mail I receive. It's not there for decoration. If it would help, I'd gladly have an open thread everyday. Not enough? Still frustrated? Then man up, grab your sword and start a blog.

I wish there was a way for me to threadjack this thread about threadjacking.
Sorry, sir. I'll leave now.
Man. And I just opened this thread to make exactly the same comment Stacy did.
Have any of you seen the new numbers coming out of ID-01 -- the third-most conservative district in the country? Did anyone notice that a Democrat was winning there?
Awesome. Just awesome.

P.S. to T-NC: More flattery, please.
hahaha.
May I have permission to threadjack this thread? If so, I was saddened to learn that not only are blacks playing an instrumental role in passing the California anti-gay marriage proposition, the California NAACP, the Black American Political League, and the Sacramento Urban League have come out against a California animal cruelty proposition that would give caged hens a little more room to breathe in their cages, because they think it might raise the price of eggs. Even though all that would really happen is that Californians who are too cheap/poor to buy eggs from hens that haven't been brutally tortured would buy eggs from out of state.

PLEASE start a thread about this Drudge-driven bullshit about the McCain fan who claims she was mugged by a 6'4" black man who carved a backwards B on her face after he saw her McCain bumper sticker.
If she's not a fraud I'm a banshee.
Can you man up if you're a woman?
We are fabulous. (Hiphop reference? No, I'll definitely screw that up. Geekness: you have rolled a +18 on commentary with your keyboard of smiting.)
The occasional open thread would be a great idea, though. I could share the tale of my kid collecting a bunch of random kitchen utensils--cherry pitter, corkscrew, potato masher, etc--and enacting some sort of gunfire-intensive story while I made dinner.
And I'll threadjack with something Wonkette pointed out: the average-of-polls graph on Prop 8 makes a Jesus fish! Jesus wants Prop 8 defeated, the poll outcome which will finish drawing the fish.
I think it's vital that we continue threadjacking all previous efforts at threadjacking.
I have a sort-of-blog, but there's only me and one other person who talk politics. Everyone else gets bored and talks about ponies.
Open thread would be confusing with no "reply to." But I would like to know if the child was playing on both sides of the kitchen table shooting at himself, or just mortaring invisible opponents with the potato masher.
I don't like the direction the previous threadjack was going and wish to threadjack in this direction instead!
Can you man up if you're a woman?
Yeah, it's called childbirth.
Tessa will be here all night, folks. Try the veal.
I believe it was more of a 7-way ninja conflict, cherry pitter v potato masher v whisk v tea diffuser. When your guns don't have bullets, it's just like tv and all the utensils can shoot each other for 15 minutes with no injuries.
all the utensils can shoot each other for 15 minutes with no injuries.
15 minutes and you didn't end up with a cherry pit in your shin, or a tea diffuser under foot? Good defense girl...
When Matt Cassell throws for three touchdowns against you, and a guy with four names averages 6 yards per carry, you're not going to win a superbowl.
I'd like advise on increasing readership on a blog. Advertise? Or is there a web site for this?
Ragamuffin, to paraphrase Phil Foglio, rule number one is:
Don't suck.
A surprising number of people ignore this rule.
