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 ![]() |

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. |

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. |

I think it's cute how dick uses the same email as harry, I guess they kind of "protect" each other that way ![]() --------------------------------------------------- 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. |

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. |
