for two days to unplonk the "noways"... but it seems neither has learned
to communicate yet, so back you both go.

I think it's cute how dick uses the same email as harry, I guess they
kind of "protect" each other that way:) Later...

The phrase "no way, Jose," is a product of the 1960s, when Richard and I
both were young men and probably both heard the expression in connection
with saying something that was never going to happen...and in this case,
using our actual, real email addresses in usenet. It's an expression
I'll always remember from 50 or so years ago, and perhaps that's why
Richard remembers it, too.

If you want to read more into it than that, I'm sure you'll find a
rationale for doing so on your favorite Fox News channels, but I doubt
Richard or I will give it that much thought.

This is rich. The fact that two people independently create the same
fake email address (using a very common term) for discussions in a
newsgroup conjures up ideas of some sort of "conspiracy" in your mind
cracks me up. I've used that fake address for years and I can assure
you that Harry and I aren't "protecting" each other. From what or
whom? You?

I get tired of hearing people repeat the same biased party line
responses and commentary that they get from either Fox News or by any
of the left leaning news networks like MSNBC. Now, added to your
source of news, opinions or whatever you want to call it, you cite a
stupid Facebook page? No wonder this country is going down the
tubes. Nobody thinks anymore. They recite or quote what they've
"heard" and believe it as being gospel.

I've rarely seen Fox News. But out of curiosity (and some degree of
frustration with some of the MSNBC personalities) I've tuned in to
Fox a few times this past week to see how they present the "facts".
I watched Hannity's show a couple of times and also flipped back and
forth between CNN, MSNBC and Fox News for their early morning shows.
I found Hannity and the early news show on Fox (Friends or something?)
to be almost comical. No, not "almost". They *were* comical. Big,
happy, ultra right wing family show.

CNN is pretty good I think. MSNBC provokes thought because
fundamentally I don't agree with much of what is promoted. But Fox
News is nothing but a Happy Hour for right wing zealots who can't
think for themselves. Facebook? Give me a break.

I had forgotten where I got that phrase in my head, but you're right.
It's an oldie.

Maybe the fact that we are using the same, fake "reply to" email
address presents a challenge for Scott. It may be that he filters his
"plonks" by the email address, therefore if he plonks me, he plonks
you. Ha! If that's the case, I'll be happy to modify my fake
address. No point in creating more frustration for him than
necessary.

Back in the good old days of local DC television, Steve Doocey, one of
the stars of the Fox Friends show, was hired by a station to compete
with the NBC affiliate's arts and entertainment and on screen funny guy,
Arch Campbell. This was in the 1970's-1980's. Arch was and is a genuine
character, a bright guy not pretty enough to be the evening news anchor,
but with all kinds of zany talent.

Doocey tried to be the other channel's Campbell, but he mostly succeeded
in getting himself called "Little Stevie Douchebag" by many views
because he didn't seem to know much and every time he tried to make a
point, the strain was obvious.

It's appropriate that Stevie ended up at Fox, on one of its pseudo news
shows.

I'm a cooperative guy. I'll be delighted to change my fake email address to:

Try sometime watching the 'news' on FOX news - instead of the comedians like Hannity. Hannity is
simply FOX's answer to Mathews.

To base an opinion of FOX on Hannity is like basing an opinion of NBC on Gregory.
