Some of you aren’t as nice to ABL as you should be, given that you’re not all that bad a group as human beings go. On this last Sunday of lent, why not atone for your sins by giving her some money (EDIT: her annual fundraiser, not a random bleg, people)?
Who but ABL would put this awesome video on her blog (I can’t find when she put it on but I remembered the video and found it)?
We Are Douchebags – watch more funny videos

Could have been worse I guess. DougJ could have asked for money for his sick grandma, father, sister, dog, cat which has become comically common on the orange satan.
Kos should rename the site dailypanhandlers.com

Done.
Terrorist fist jab to ABL.

We love you too, Doug.

I don’t believe in sin. If it feels good, do it. That’s what I say.

Why should we be nice to her? If you haven’t noticed, she’s blah.

Will do, since we are sharing videos’ here’s a lil Bruce Springsteen – American Skin. Springsteen added it to his concert performance for the first time in Tampa last week and then posted the video on youtube. Friday at a concert in Philadelphia he went public with why: “This is for Trayvon.”

Wow. Just wow. Just when I thought ABL couldn’t hate white people any more.
Let me ask all of you – have you ever met a black douchebag? No? My point could not be made more clearly.

@Martin:
I hope this a joke. If so, it’s pretty funny.
David Koch
@Martin:
but that’s only because they don’t let blah people in gated communities and country clubs.

I skip most of her posts, while I agree with her on more than I disagree she’s just not a very good blogger, long on wind short on wit.
While I am the subject I wish that BJ was just Cole, it’s not that the other front pagers are bad it’s just they’re not as good. So the not-Johns, as I call them, often feel like filler.
Martin
@David Koch: Well, they do let them in… once. And only once.

Or you could donate money to an actual good blogger of your choice.

@Martin: you mean Steele and Cain aren’t?
Martin
@piratedan: No, they’re just run of the mill self-promoting assholes.
Martin
@DougJ, Head of Infidelity: Clearly my hatred of ABL has burned so brightly that you’ve never before been able to look directly at it.

@lamh35:
Still as powerful and relevant as in 2000. I remember that the NYPD commissioner then called Springsteen a dirtbag for writing American Skin, and the NYPD cops’ union urged its members to boycott his show. The song was also denounced from the right, as was Bruce himself, as anti-cop.
There may also have been some of the same reaction this time around, but I haven’t really looked.

Shouldn’t we be donating money to Funny or Die for posting that video?

@salvage: I guess you are one who prefers naked kitchen mopping blogging.
Duly noted.

@salvage: The first half of this is accurate.

@salvage: I know, right?
ABL
@Martin: Nice one! I laughed OL.
And thanks, Doug!
ABL
@Martin: even funnier.
@not motorik: i must admit, this comment had me laughing for a good minute or so the other day. you should probably have stopped with that one. your material has hit its peak, methinks.
thanks to those who donated! i have a fancy newsletter which you will receive shortly, and from which you will likely unsubscribe once you do!

@Clime Acts: You are probably a volunteer, right?

Sorry, but you guys convinced me not to support the professional Left.

@Bruce S: another pro-ditch Rosie blogger.
That’s nice.

@Martin: They just don’t let them _back_ in, on account of how suspicious those people tend to look for some reason.

clayton – Huh?
Of course, nobody cares.

@Bruce S: You are a newbie and nobody cares about your blogwhoring.
Or at least most don’t.
Enjoy your hits.

Kudos for the Lucinda Williams reference.
And ABL is teh shit.

@clayton: You know, Mona never supported ABL either. When you were playing on those 1000+ comment threads at UT did you ever stop to think about how Mona felt about ABL?
Who were you at UT? And why didn’t you help Mona when she needed help?
Mona asks me about that all the time. She wonders, “Why does clayton stick up for ABL all the time when he never did anything for me on those 1000+ threads at UT he used to play on? Am I so insignificant in clayton’s eyes?”
Honestly, I don’t know what to tell Mona anymore. Maybe you have some answer for your casual disregard of Mona when she needed you. But I don’t.

I don’t really come to this site anymore. I liked it best when it was just John. I still liked it a lot with DougJ and Tim. But now there are just too many voices.

I actually like Mike Steele. Sure you might disagree on policy, but he seems to be much more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_and_Sheepdog Ralph than Wile. Think Warner brother cartoons where the dog and wolf clock out and hang out, while smashing the hell out of each other while clocked in.
People like Santorum seem much more like Wile E. No matter how many times things backfire, and they get smeared with their own actions, they press on.
