Half the time the whole REASON site is down. Refresh at your own peril.

[Mike]

The site was down for approx 30 minutes today because of disk space problems. Our apologies.

[NO STAR UPDATE THREAD JACK]

As many of you know, No Star, was involved in a serious motorcycle accident on Sunday which claimed the life of his twelve year old daughter.

A memorial fund has been established at the library where she was a fixture. It is a small community and the entire town is grieving over the loss of Jessie.

For those of you who would like to contribute to Jessie's library fund, checks should be made out to North Central Regional Library and mailed to:

Moses Lake Library
Attention Connie Kuhlmann
418 East 5th Avenue
Moses Lake, WA, 98837-1797

A short letter should accompany the the check explaining that it is for memorial books for Jessica Kalles. If you want to know the titles of the books that have been purchased, please include a note to that effect and your return address. A small memorial sticker will be placed in each book.

Thank you so much.

"As many of you know, No Star, was involved in a serious motorcycle accident on Sunday which claimed the life of his twelve year old daughter."

Was she wearing a helmet?

[Episiarch]

Hey Lefiti, why don't you go jump off a bridge, or better yet, go fuck yourself?

[Jesse Walker]

For the record, she was.

[ChrisO]

Really sad to hear that about NoStar. Tough to find words to put that in perspective.

[Jozef]

Maybe I'm reading this instead of the convention coverage blog because I'm not all that excited about political circle jerks.

[Lefiti]

"For the record, she was [wearing a helmet]."

Well, that's good. I would hate to think that somebody paid such a terrible price for living out a loony ideology.

[alan]

As opposed to adhering to a ideology that turns you into a big, ugly pimple on the human race, Lefiti?

[joe]

Bad taste, Lefiti.

[R C Dean]

Since when is not wearing a helmet "living out a loony ideology." Libertarians are opposed to laws punishing people who don't wear helmets, not opposed to wearing helmets. Of course, the distinction eludes the slower-witted among us.

[Abdul]

Lefiti, are you wearing a helmet? Or do they only make you put it on when you ride the big yellow bus on community day?

Have fun at the zoo on your next communtiy day!

[Seitz]

How about putting an RSS feed on the convention blog. Or whatever the hell that little thing is in Firefox that allows me use Live Bookmark?

[TWC]

I just got word a moment ago that NoStar is definitely going home today.

He's pretty happy about it, too.

[Brandybuck]

Hey Lefiti, why don't you go jump off a bridge, or better yet, go fuck yourself?

Or combine the two, and fucking jump off the bridge.

[pistoffnick]

You can't make me care about either convention circle jerk.

[LibertyMark]

Since I could give a rat's ass about what those silly Democrats are doing, please tell me that the convention coverage is devoted exclusively to ridicule, derision, and babe-scoping, then I might take a peek.

The same applies to the Republicans, with the interesting angle that you could compare and contrast the babe-scoping efforts.

[Lefiti]

Yeah, why do the media focus on the boring Democrats and Republicans when they could be covering hairlip Bob Barr and his porno-star running mate? I think the media are afraid of libertarians and don't want the message to get out: cheese made from mother's milk is really good once you get past the choking part.

[Pro Libertate]

The lies, theft, corruption, stupidity, lack of principles, etc. of the Democrats and the GOP makes them better than the crazy Libertarians in what way?

[R C Dean]

Since I could give a rat's ass about what those silly Democrats are doing, please tell me that the convention coverage is devoted exclusively to ridicule, derision, and babe-scoping, then I might take a peek.

It pretty much has, yes. The babe-scoping highlight has been Anne Hathaway, BTW. Pretty high bar; I doubt the Repubs can match it.

[the world wonders]

Lefiti = ? = Edweirdo

or at least one of that ilk?

[Pro Libertate]

The GOP might get Angelina Jolie this time around.

[Bingo]

Can we get videos of drunk Weigel putting his mack on the ladies?
