Yeah, Gal, I have an alter ego to the kinder, gentler nullifidian on Drudge. More of a Mr. Hyde to nulli's Dr. Jekyll. I'd love to see a Horace/TB debate. Yessss! He wouldn't know what he was getting into. LOL. Hahaha. Yeah, Gal, I have an alter ego to the kinder, gentler nullifidian on Drudge. More of a Mr. Hyde to nulli’s Dr. Jekyll.

I'll take this Horace character on! I just need to finish an article on a US base &amp; detention camp in the Indian Ocean. This here blog thing hasn't been updated for what, two weeks? In the meantime, I am waiting for my image host to come back up. Typical -- when friends come by, the house is a mess! ;-) OK, OK you guys. I’ll take this Horace character on!

There I was posting about how much I missed you on drudge, and you were there all along. LOL Yeah, a TB/Horace debate would be great. I'd like a front row seat. Hey, Nulli, you rascal!

There's one character in particular, who imagines himself a philosophy genius and is always challenging people to debate philosophy and religion. I think you would make mincemeat of him. Look for Horace. LOL. Well we could certainly use your help in battleing the troglodytes over there, Sirocco.

Actually I lurked at Drudge just today and was baffled to see how many old-timers are still around, ranging from great folks like yourself, Boyd, Danni etc. to the notorious Tom A. Dowe. I was even tempted to dig out the old password to splash in myself, and may indeed do so soon. The way things have turned out in Iraq and in general, rebuffing the mostly semi-literate mouthbreathing bushbots of those parts should be easier than ever! :-) Gal, what a pleasure to see you again after all this time — it’s been ages in internet years!

A few weeks ago I posted an old drudge thread in which you had posted and waxed sentimentaly about missing your presence on that board. I was glad to hear about your blog, and I forwarded the link to Mr. Peanut as well. (The two of you were instrumental in my not failing into total despair after Bush won in 2004.) The times they are a changin' on Drudge. RCade no longer wants it to be the cruel.com of political blogs. We shall see. In the meantime, it's good to know you are still fighting the good fight.

Nice web site you've put together. And your comments on America are right on the money. Our disinterest and ignorance in the rest of the world is going to bite us in the ass. Greetings, Sirocco.
