Did I miss the new info in the 'revisiting' of this event?

nope, it's a cheap way of getting some column inches without having to do any actual, you know, work.

hey david, were these city officials democrats? yuck, yuck, yuck.

i'm curious why not a word here about the passing of cathy seipp.

For Cathy Seipp news, check the Corner at National Review.

|3.22.07 @ 8:12AM|#

You can also check the LA Times, Welch's personal site, Postrel's too, or anywhere else on the blogosphere really. Even the Kos folks spit some venom.

I think Seipp made fun of Weigel once, and so former contributer or not, if anyone here mentions her, Dave will call them a Bush toadie or something.

This place used to be much better, lalala. But serially, it was.

Who is/was Cathy Seipp?

Yea, but I already get called that (not by David yet) for supporting some Bush policies. Will I be elevated to some other thing besides toadie?

I'm sure there are ways of taking cheap shots at Mr. Weigel in even worse taste than using the death of Ms Seipp, but I can't for the life of me think of a single one.

Well their next court date is in a week, so probably we'll get more information (as well as a press conference about Tony Orlando) then.

I'm sure there are ways of taking cheap shots at Mr. Weigel . . .

Anybody who does risks their own safety and security . . .

Who's Weigel shilling for now? The Grim Reaper?

I suspect killer bees.

Weigal is shilling for cancer and cartoons. IN THE SAME POST!

Come to think of it, Weigal didn't say anything in this thread about Al Gore. That must mean he's shilling for Big Electric Utilities!

Weigal, if you're willing to shill for me I'll send you a list of my publications and you can pimp them constantly. Or, for that matter, just by not mentioning somebody else's publications you'll automatically be shilling for mine! :)

(Just kidding, Mr. Weigel.)

hey, i got banned by cavanaugh so i'm tryin' for the hat trick.

|3.22.07 @ 10:01AM|#

has anyone noticed the conspicuous absence of "John"?

the "weigal" joke fails without him.

thoreau|3.22.07 @ 10:03AM|#

Fair enough, Steven.

Mr. Steven Crane and Thoreau -

didn't you guys see - they needed a newer, tougher, hotter Meletary Lawier (sic) - one that has the most cleftest chin of them all.

So he's here in spiwit (?). Spiwit. Bwavado.

This should be a discussion of 70's haircuts. Focus people!

VM|3.22.07 @ 10:48AM|#

I'm still waiting to hear that they've started blowing up newspaper vending machines. Those things are just made to hide something.

If one of them blew up during a 'peaceful protest' while some slimey little 'Anarchist' was about to throw it through a window I think I would giggle.
