Are there any other places besides just Tapped and THfTNR?
Also: will you publish the pipe, and link to it, when you've created it?
That's the idea. But I've already run into a problem as Iraq Slogger doesn't seem to have an author field in their feed.
Unfoged doesn't have an author field either (so says Great News).
Ackerman is being paid by TAP and The Nation I think. I've been keeping an eye on the latter but haven't seen anything, so he might only be doing print pieces for them.
Oh, I do think this is a great idea. I worry that I missed something of his.
Self-correction (with whip):
Unfoged doesn't have an author field either
I meant the comments. The posts do of course.
Unfogged has an author field, and it shows up in my Great News. It's "creator" in the raw RSS code.
Unfogged doesn't have author field in Shrook. At this point, I take a perverse pleasure just trying to guess who wrote the post.
Spencer writes about Iraq & internet porn in MY's comments. Some, like this one, will be very hard to get via feeds. Would a wiki work as a supplement?
7: My titles have punctuation marks at the end.
Don't worry Apo, yours are easy to pick out. It ain't the punctuation marks.
Anyone going by the punctuation rule would have mistaken, in recent days, both LB and Becks for the dissimilar Apostropher.
Brzezinski on The Daily Show, just referred to Bush's world-view as "Manichaean paranoia."
Wouldn't that have been funnier if they hadn't changed anything?
Every time I hear Brzezinski speak, I think he hits it out of the park - we should just adopt him as our foreign policy. A shame he had to play Kissinger to Vance's Clarke back in the day.
Although I may be in the tank for him - I had a (disappointingly non-secual) dream about Brzezinski in grad school.
Wouldn't that have been funnier if they hadn't changed anything?
Did you watch the whole thing?
12: I was all set to be kind of pissed off about that, until they had Bush speaking in his normal voice. That was a nice twist. Still a bit nonplussed at the too-easy "strong rural accent = idiot" motif though. Jane Galt and David Brooks, for example, versus Molly Ivins and Ralph Yarborough, if you see what I mean.
Also, off-topic, but isn't it nice to finally be seeing some, however minor, consequences for fucking up in DC? One of the most crazy-making things about the last six years has been seeing all the incredible malfeasance with no repercussions. Now in just the past week we've got at least three heads rolled over the heckuva job Bush and Co. have been doing for wounded soldiers, and Alberto's Chief of staff gone and maybe Alberto himself soon too, and hopefully Rove subpoenaed to testify under oath. What a difference some checks and balances make! If this keeps up I might even start to feel that sanity is possible again!!
"strong rural accent = idiot"
Those aren't rural accents.
Did you watch the whole thing?
I did not. Fine.
Whaddaya mean, 'Po? They're idiotic right? and therefore rural by virtue of the identity M/lls pointed out in 16.
I did not.
You missed the punchline.
Yeah, I went back and watched it again. Fine!
Those aren't rural accents.
Um, how would you characterize them, then?
Maybe an RSS feed/Yahoo Pipe is overkill, since he's only going to be there a month (right?).
What someone needs to do, perhaps, is to just collect links to all his different posts in one particular place. Update it regularly.
Or maybe just do that once the embed is over?
Also: the problem indicated in 2 suggests that a machine learning solution is in order.
Um, how would you characterize them, then?
Cartoonish caricatures of rural accents, you defensive hick.
machine learning
Is there something you want to tell us?
Um, how would you characterize them, then?
Maybe if you were rural and severely brain damaged, I guess.
Those aren't rural accents.
Maybe if you were rural and severely brain damaged, I guess.
Um, so they are rural accents?
Cartoonish caricatures of rural accents, you defensive hick.
Yeah, probably over-defensive. And I laughed at the clip too. It's just that some of my best friends are hicks (not that I'd ever talk like that).
But anyway, doesn't anyone else feel the niceness I described in the second paragraph of 16?

I certainly do. Listening to NPR this week I just keep thinking "Wait a minute! You mean congressmen can actually demand that the administration release papers that will prove they committed astonishing unethical acts, and the administration won't just ignore them? Wow!"
Probably regional, non-elite accents is what Apo meant, as opposed to rural. I didn't hear the clip.
Some time ago one of Sausagely's commenters very grudgingly admitted that he sorta liked Ivins' writing, but could barely stand her populist Texan routine. Elite Eastern liberalism is real.
I was all set to be misty-eyed about Ivins' death when my wife reminded me that I had often expressed annoyance at her schtick, and that therefore claiming to have liked her now showed amnesia at least, or hypocracy and bad grace.
But I was honestly bewildered; what had I found so annoying? I didn't see much wrong with the retrospective pieces, or the taped interviews, so I must have had a change of heart or mind in just the last few years. Maybe we're all Texas liberals now, or feel like it.
I think Spencer is too quick to track. TPM is the latest.
