The term "catfight" is dispreferred, particularly when the linked post seems to have been written by a male.
So, one assumes, is "dispreferred."
Oh, please. Catherine's like the only Flophouse resident who hasn't been in a knife fight. Harmless!
Someone's not really entering in to the spirit of the competition, or the thread.
*hangs head in shame, but still loves that clip*
This focus on bots does a grave disservice to those of us who entered all of our votes for Catherine the old-fashioned way.
That is the attitude! That best defense is a good offense.
Catherine isnt cheating! Those other psychos are cheating. They probably activated Bots to make it look like Catherine was cheating.
In fact, I'm not even sure it was actually Ogged whipping people into a frenzied mob of voters. That Gans girl is probably behind it all.
If you pretend that all the other contestants were part of the Miami-Dade elections riots, you can blur the moral lines a little.
catherine could very easily solve this by splitting the sawing the crown in half and sending him one side, along with half of the prize money, to make amends.
In the meantime, I expect a round of firings amongst US Attorneys for their failure to discover this dangerous fraud.
"splitting the sawing the" s/b "sawing the," obviously. I didn't even cheat and yet I typo in shame.
DOJ's fretting about voter fraud we're overblown. At the very least, we're gonna need another trial run before 2008, 's all I'm sayin'.

The Faking Hotties scandal! With Gams as ringleader! It's so crazy... it's got to be true.
With Gams as ringleader!
Gans FUCK worst Freudian slip EVER I ban myself.
They still haven't approved my comment over there, but I pointed out that we didn't bot until the picklerbot was threatening to run away with the vote.
I thought "gams" were legs. It's ok, DS.

Why comment there at all? Either that post is a joke, in which case, you know, funny. Or it's not, in which case, crazy.
18: Yeah... I guess that's a little better, anyway...
#21. But commenting doesn't make you wet the bed. Advantage: blogosphere!
That bitch will be laughing out of the other side of her mouth when she sees the whole 20,000 of us surrounding her trailer park and chanting slogans.
Peaceful slogans, of course.
On the other hand, maybe we should throw a few thousand votes her way. She was always my favorite, party dicipline aside.
I have been looking thru my Karl Diehl, Stirner, Godwin, Maletesta for a quote with which to celebrate the liberation of the Unfoggedtariat from the chains of procedural liberalism but that damn Adobe is one fucking slow interface. And I am ignorant, and at wit's end. But I cannot describe my satisfaction at discovering my efforts and dreams were not in vain, that I have converted one small but significant corner of the world to criminal anarchism.
Today bots for hots, tomorrow...Thursday!
(Which was a great movie, and connects directly to my themes. And has a naked Thomas Jane and Paulina P and ganja and a Ferrari. And a chain saw.)
BTW, in all this hotness-related media frenzy, you've missed the truly important media story of the half-week: the closure of the world's only reliable newspaper. How will we know who the alien endorses in '08?
The smug Pharisees of this Post, Links, and some comments enraged me. Any political philosophy that has Jacob Levy and Henry Farrell genuflecting to a monument of Burke the elder doesn't need me. It really was:"Progressive, not liberal? Why do you hate peace, properity, and freedom?"
"These things you keep
You'd better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!"
Kitsch is good politics. Now that the seed has been sown in DC, perhaps we could give just a little thought to what an America with zero faith in the electoral process might look like, and what steps we could take toward that enlightened utopia?
How did last night feel? Just a little bit...free?
See, I take my instructions from McManus, and Ogged takes his instructions from me.
Tim has been shoved aside. His power over Ogged is but a faded memory.

I should have known. Ye shall know the lion by his scat, indeed.

I didn't, but then I put all the important news over at my blog..
I feel personally to blame. I was glad it was there, but I failed to support it.
It seems very unfair that Ed Anger never got his own Fox show. He's so much better than O'Reilly or Coulter, and he was there first.
35: But O'Reilly and Coulter sets a pretty low bar, so obviously something else is going on there.
The implicit Burke-the-Younger in Bob's phrasing would be "our Tim," wouldn't it?
That Linda Hirshman is turning out to be quite the character, isn't she?
I feel oddly humbled. Not by the botting, but by the contrast between my initial reaction to reading the post and what actually happened in the comments. Well done, O.
I don't think the supermarkets around El Suburb were even carrying the WWN any more, which just goes to show the utter disregard liberals have for the truth.
At least we can still read Ed Anger online.

and now you are free
God, that takes me back to my teenage years. I think I bought that album on cassette.
(house style but with end tags on each line for the sake of those reading through Bloglines and its ilk)
I think I bought that album on cassette.
I still have it on vinyl.
Cassettes, vinyl, 8 tracks....Ah, the good old days. I was trying to explain 8 tracks to my son. For the youngsters here, 8 tracks were practically the size of a VHS tape (do you even remember those??!?!) and had very little storage capacity.
Did I mentioned that I just received approx 400 gigs of high quality music? (legally).
I still have it on vinyl.
I like to imagine you in vinyl, Apo.
Did I mentioned that I just received approx 400 gigs of high quality music?
Holy crap, are you archiving for someone or is that a misplaced decimal? Even as uncompressed .wav files, that's about 800-1000 albums (depending on length).
The whole concept of 8-tracks sounds absolutely horrible. An album is split into 4 parts? And the end of one of the sides routinely happens in the middle of a song?
I guess it was better than nothing since it was the only option for playing albums in one's car.
It's just amazing how cassettes have disappeared. When I started buying music ~12 years ago the music store had every album on both CD and cassette. I bought the cassettes because they were cheaper. Now there's literally like 30 cassettes in the whole place, mostly things like Perry Como, the Gatlin Brothers and Billboard Pop Hits of 1966. There's more vinyl in even a mainstream store than cassettes now.
Cassettes are still all over the place in the third world, though.
POTENTIAL BOT ALERT UPDATE: Helena Andrews is at over 1000 votes, from something like 40 this morning.
Dana Priest over 1000.
Kerry Howley over 2000.
Her clever positioning as the "anti-Catherine candidate" has pushed Stephanie Gams up to 888.
I think tnat they're cheating and getting around the bot rule by having their friends vote for them. Talk about loopholes.
I still think that we should get Gans, Garance, and a few others past the evil Pickler.
Let's not go abroad in seek of monsters to destroy.
Dana Priest over 1000.
Dana Priest is one of the least corrupt members of the mainstream media, Emerson should be pushing hard for her. Here's a right wing web site talking about her "troubling" and "far left" political connections:
http://www.aim.org/special_report/4557_0_8_0_C/
That should make her hotter!
48: Ummm, yeah. That was from before I saw the "turn off the bots" post. My bad.
OK, turn on the Dana Priest Bot. My concession to Katherine.
Is Kriston really 1500 times better looking than Vandehei?
Absolutely. We should apologize to no one.
YATESBOT over 17000. Capps will fall.
