1 Well, I respected him more than most.  He will be missed.

2 Great story, Russ! I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Breitbart, did not know him personally, but for some reason the news of his death has really affected me. Especially after reading all of the vitriol and hate spewed out by the left about him. I hope his family knows that for every hateful and spiteful thing said about him by the left, there were 100 good things and remembrances said about him by his friends and fans.

3 First! Not sure what this post is about I just wanted to get a comment in.

4 "Godspeed, Mr. Breitbart" hear! hear! He will be missed. Let us take up his sword.

5 So it was a joke???

6 I commented last night that Ace should put that pic of Breitbart pointing at the comment field of AoSHQ up top as a permanent tribute to him.  I think a lot of would agree. 

I read the story of his last hour: drinking at a bar, talking with strangers, having a good time.  He went out like a true Moron.

7

I'm speechless.  Couldn't even comment yesterday.

 

Michael Savage broached the subject last night of a government hit.  Not sure if that was rash or brave?  The thought has crossed my mind.

8  I love that picture of him with the comments section on his Ipad

9 I really like the idea someone came up with yesterday. 


Every first comment should read, "Hi Andrew!".   And this pic should be anchored somewhere on the home page forever.

10 Even with all the blood-letting going on lately, I've honestly enjoyed the ~9 years I've been following this blog. Ever since the Old Days of Allahpundit. Now put some f'in knowledge in me.

11 I stopped reading all political sites yesterday after I heard. Shit I needed a break only so much bad news you can take.

12 I love that picture of him with the comments section on his Ipad

I can tell you, as could a lot of Morons here, the EXACT post that pic was taken from.

Which one?  I didn't recognize it.

Once more, with feeling: Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

14 I was there when it happened. It was right before a CNN appearance.

He fucked up his website link like everyone does until they figure out how to work it lol

The whole no one reads the blog, just the comments meme cracks me up

15 yeah, but did he have 28 twitter followers?

16

Very cool Russ.

 

Here's that pic, I think.

18 Hah, I love that story, Russ. I can just see him saying it.

What a day that was. What a day yesterday was. Time to pick up the pieces, and move along, now.

19 Which one? I didn't recognize it.

It's the one where some Occu-tards were talking about crashing an event and lighting into Breitbart saying that although Romney has Secret Service protection, he wouldn't.  It was a thinly veiled threat against Breitbart's safety and he apparently loved it.

20

We are at least high brow scum and villianu.

We may be vulgarians, but we are high class, highly educated vulgarians.

 

If you get the Morning Jolt, Geraghty has a fantastic piece on Andrew's death and his response to the Left's reaction thereto.  Honestly, I think that some people need to be reminded viscerally as to why you at least pretend to have common courtesy.   The world would be a much better place if my one free beat down a month rule was implemented.

26 A guy at work was trying to joke about someone else (a lefty) going to Andrew's funeral.

I looked him in the eye and said calmly: "You ever speak ill of that man again in my presence, and we are going to the floor." He got real quiet, and moved on.

27 Avec, mais naturellement!

That means "with," right?

Your multi-linguality scares and confuses me.

Thank you for sharing, Russ.  He was such a great man.  Even having never met him, I could just tell he was an incredible guy from what I saw of him on TV, heard on the radio, and read online.  He will be missed more than most, and for a very long time. 

 

God bless, AB. 

29 Avec, mais naturellement!


D'accord!

I don't know what this says about me, but that story just gave me a Chrissy Matthews tingle up my leg.

AVENGE!!!

35 Still so sad.  I'm glad to see people still writing about Andrew today.  I feared the blogosphere would just go back to normal after a mere one day of rememberences.  I remember when Ronald Reagan died, I cried a lot.  The sorrow I felt on that day, for a man who meant so much and truly effected change for generations, was deep.  He loved us unconditionally.  I feel the same way about Andrew.

36 @35: Whoever edited Taibbi's Wikipedia page to a picture of a giant piece of shit after that is a hero.  (I assume it's been changed back now, but Weasel Zippers has screengrabs).

Somebody elsewhere posted a picture of that dorky turd yesterday.  No wonder he writes such jealous garbage.

40 Woke up this morning - the world had a hole in it.   But I'm planning a BigDay,  as it seems the best way to put some Breitbart back in it.

41

I was never lucky enough to meet Andrew Breitbart, but his death has hit me harder than anything outside a family loss or 9/11.  I spent yesterday intermittently excusing myself from my desk so I could go sob in the company restroom.

 

His death has me searching for a new, more effective path.  As it stands, I've made a life of either letting libtards spew and just walking away because they're just not worth the effort OR leaving them on the floor bleeding if they cross the line.  Engaging them in any way even remotely close to what AB would do just never seemed like something I could do.  I resolve to do better.  For Andrew.

42 I'd like to make a t-shirt modelled after the stupid leftist Che t-shirts, but with a line drawing of AB instead of the      Argentinian    psychopath       .  And on the back it would say, "Ours was a REAL     freedom     fighter, and he didn't need a body count    to do it."

43 >> I commented last night that Ace should put that pic of Breitbart pointing at the comment field of AoSHQ up top as a permanent tribute to him. I think a lot of would agree. I'm pretty confident there will be a permanent memorial on the site. I think we should refer to the comments "Breitbarts" from now on. Still hard to believe he's gone.

44 Andrew Breitbart was pretty much living the AoSHQ lifestyle.  Smart, funny, caustic and with constant contempt for the media and leftist hustlers.  He reveled that he could make a leftist troll squeal in three words or less.

I'm probably most saddened that there isn't anyone else currently doing what he had been doing in a public and high profile way.  Because we need more of it.

RIP

45

morning yall. Dennis Miller whole show is about Andrew this morning. its been good so far. i found this place to listen to it for free.

Oui.

Six years of French.  I remember like ten words. 

48 And I've brushed with you, so I get some trickle-down greatness?

I'm looking for a copyright-free image (I ain't no Shepard Fairey) of Breitbart so I can make a memorial quiltlet.

Actually, I should just e-mail Ace and ask if I can use the "reading comments" photo. Except he doesn't read his e-mail. Heh.

49

Thanks for sharing that Russ.  It's nice to know there was a little connection to one of my heroes.  Somehow today seems worse than yesterday, I guess it's sinking in that it's real. 

50 I'm going to raise a glass of Valu-Rite Vodka tonight and dedicate the first hobo to Andrew.

51 Great story, Russ. He was definitely a Moron.

52 the only reason i smile today is..........IT'S THE BEGINNING OF SPRING TRAINING!!!!!!!!!

53 Man, Andrew was truly fearless. Who could possibly replace him?

54 I cried on & off all day. I don't remember feeling this way about anyone that I haven't known personally. He inspired me like no one else. I made a little plaque for my desk that said "These decadent bastards are going down  A. Breitbart, A True Patriot".

After the grief, I think the inspiration will still be there but it will never be the same. He brought so much joy & life to the endeavor.

55 I'm looking for a copyright-free image (I ain't no Shepard Fairey) of Breitbart so I can make a memorial quiltlet.


Yeah, that's the problem with making Tshirts or anything using Breitbart's picture or even his full name.  There are rules governing that sort of thing unless you have permission from the family  or the photographer who took the picture.

56 Yeah, I know. We have left the hobo's to themselves since the fall culling. Looking forward to this hunting season.

57 51 alex the chic same....i had french from preschool until 4th grade and then 3 years in high school......failed my last semester.....i do like to irritate my kids by speaking in a french accent throwing in a few of the words i remember......

58

Will respect the wishes of the family as far as the funeral goes, but my fantasy is the biggest conservative blowout you could imagine.  Kind of like a who's who of conservative bloggers, et al to give the final BIG FINGER to the left in Andrew's honor.  A national event, if you will.  Of course, the occupiers would have to be outside and everybody would take turns to yell at them with typical Breitbart gusto.

59 Been reading Tami's link to the Feb 7 thread. Thanks. Very enjoyable.
But I was stunned at how very well the formatting worked. I thought our suffering had gone on longer than that.

60 I listened to Levin last night, and along with his tribute to Andrew he played the last AB interview from last April.  At the end of the interview, Andrew mentioned that he intended to make the big catch-all website and said "that's for 2012."  If I recall correctly, that site was supposed to roll out yesterday, right?

Just freaking eerie.

61 I'm watching the Redeye tribute. It's really helping me. Kaus's article and then Jonah's almost did me in, so I was kind of dreading watching it. But i've found it helpful.

I called my father when I heard about Andrew passing. He was vaguely familiar with Andrew, so I had to fill him in a bit. I was so close to sobbing.

My father had a close brush with death not once, but twice, and I kind of wrote it off until his brother died. Then I was sitting with my cousins playing cards as they were just fighting off tears and I realized that I was *THAT* close to it being me.

I call my father almost everyday, and at least once a week I tell him that I love him, and I also tell him why. Because you never fucking know what thier last day will be. It spooked me when he started doing it to me, but I realized that I had told him that you never fucking know if some random car crash happens and all of a sudden, you realize you haven't told someone you loved them in a while, or more importantly WHY. In an instant, that opportunity is gone, and there's just that big hole in your heart. Forever.

He's 20 years older than Andrew. God bless Andrew and his Family. I hope we can set up a Fund of some kind. I'd rather give to that, than buy a stack of books.

62 Andrew Breibert was the embodiment of fearless vitality. He made my heart flutter, and I respected him all the more for his devotion to his wife and children. Ah, that I could find such a (single) man...

Kudos to whoever did that to that scumbag's wiki page

64 I think that we should have the mother of all Tea Parties in A.B.'s honor.  April 15th is coming up. 

65 You can create and exhibit art of public figures without their permission (I went to a quilt show a few years ago that was about 30% Bush-bashing quilts...gaaaaah).  But I can't draw so much as stick figures, so I need a photo to start with.

66 I also wore my old Power School Class shirt to work last night (as an undershirt, the damn thing is 15 years old now). I wore it because our Class Motto reminded me of Andrew.
 
Illegitimi Non Carborundum

67 Saw the tribute Greg Gutfiled had for him on last nights Red-Eye.  Well done.  Had some great clips of Andrew.  He will be missed.

68

I see that the Kos Kids are trying to gin up the Westboro "Baptist" lunatics to protest at AB's funeral.  Nice.   Very classy.    If they try it I can guarantee there WILL be a beatdown, and it will be bloody.

70 Heather - there are different rules that govern political officeholders versus private citizens.  But you are probably right in that you can exhibit art with his likeness.  I think you would just be limited in your ability to sell it.

71 Great story!  I sure would have liked to have met him.  I loved the guy.  Anybody who can turn libs into their real selves, sputtering, incoherent imbeciles, is #1 in my book.     

72 Predictions for his new site? Big Election? Big America? ... After seeing that first one typed out I can rule it out as it's too too close to Big Erection.

73 Apparently the wiki page of the rollingstones douche also had a pic of some guy who through a freak of nature could suck his own dick. The person who put that on the wiki is also a great mind.

On our best days, we could aspire to be like him on his worst days.

Goliad was a much better lesson.  Happy independence day Texas...wish I was back there.

86 I still can't get over how CNN pushed the false claim that AB "selectively edited" the Shirley Sherrod tape only hours after yesterdays news broke. I think they are being selectively sloppy in their reporting.

87

You know what's awful?  He won't be here to see Obama get thrown out of the White House.  The last president of his life was Obama.

 

Dear God, I hope that temporal worries are far from him where he is now.

88 AB posted the video of Sherrod admitting she's a flaming racist.  But left out the part where she said she sometimes didn't act on that racism.  To libs that's selective editing.

89 More than any citizen of his generation, Breitbart aimed to misbehave.

90 Goliad was a much better lesson. Happy independence day Texas...wish I was back there.

Well the best lesson was San Jacinto:  the point is to win, not to "fight fair."

91 90 If I remember correctly the right folded like a cheap whore over the Shirley Sherrod thing. In fact, I think ace folded. I don't remember every nuance.

92 If I remember correctly the right folded like a cheap whore over the Shirley Sherrod thing.

We (they?) did.  It made me angry, because, once again, we (collectively) bought into their premise- that the tape was about Shirley Sherrod.  What the right should have been proclaiming- long and loud- was that Sherrod's firing was both uncalled-for and irrelevant to the issue, and the issue was the rampant racism at the NAACP.

The terrible thing about the Sherrod tape was not her story- it was the crowd's reaction to it.

93 I still can't get over how CNN pushed the false claim that AB "selectively edited" the Shirley Sherrod tape only hours after yesterdays news broke. I think they are being selectively sloppy in their reporting.

Posted by: Serious Cat at March 02, 2012 10:03 AM (MnD/c)

That bugs me too- the "Sherrod Tape" was never about Sherrod- it was about the NAACP audience's RACIST REACTION to what Sherrod said.  The whole point was to contrast the demonstrable evidence of racism at the NAACP against the total lack of evidence of racism in the Tea Party.

O'Reilly got ahold of it, misunderstood it (shocker I know) and made it about Sherrod.

It was downhill from there.

94 "When Ayers asked me what I was reading right now, I told him “Moby Dick,” which actually lived up to its billing. Ayers agreed, though added, as any good academic would, “You’ve picked up the gay subtext?” Breitbart nearly choked on his tofu and quinoa. “You mean in Moby Dick?” Andrew asked. “Or at this dinner?”"

They owe me a new keyboard. Link on my name.

The best part is, the original 'doctored' tape he posted ended with Sherrod's pivot from flat out racist to the more nuanced racially tinged Marxism. The part that the libs scream he cut out was not in fact cut out.

96 96 Right. I keep meaning to keep a list of the right buying into the premise. That was a good example. The most recent one is that birth control can be "banned" by a president or that alternative forms of energy provide, you know, energy.

97 Aww, thank you for posting this, Russ

I Tweeted back to an idiot lefty yesterday who said he wished AB had waited to pass away "until    after Obama got re-elected."  I told him that this way, AB has the best seat in the house to watch the SCOAMF lose in a landslide.

99 34 By the way, Texas, NM, and Colorado Morons: Happy Texas Independence Day! Ha! As a Coloradoan I grew up with Texan jokes instead of racial jokes.

100 I love the technique that both Andrew and Jame O'Keefe use to ensnare the stupid. They will release a tidbit and wait for a response, then release some more and wait, then when the gullible left's head is in the noose, they'd fire both barrels. Like fishing for walleye. Death by a thousand cuts. Masterful. We need to practice that more often.

101 One of the best ways to honor Breitbart would be for a Right leaning news service or blogger or both to do a complete expose' of just how the Sherrod Case was a window into how SCOAMF's unconstitutional regime has used an already wasteful government agency to act as a facilitator of slavery reparations to a bunch of fake farmers with taxpayer dollars.

A lot of the real import of the hijacking of government payments was lost in the wake of the tit for tat racism dance.

This story and ACORN really are about the essence of this corrupt commie criminal enterprise, and Breitbart got that better than anybody on the Right.  

102 I feel badly for Ace, who has lost his celebrity champion. But, Ace, I assure you, although we are not famous like Andrew Breitbart, we love this site just as much. Keep up the good work, everyone, and make Andrew proud.

103 The comments at GatewayPundit are going all Prison Planet with conspiracies.

104 Did anyone post the ultimate AB smackdown when (You're useress) Arec Bardwin tweeted that AB was a boil on the anus of humanity?  Without missing a beat, AB tweeted his response:  Now, now, Alec, there's no need to talk to me like I'm your daughter. 

105

The video and story of him roller blading around an ows/seiu? protest is priceless. Sending them all to Denny's is the most moronic, hilarious thing I've heard of. I Will always remember A.B.

Just be mindful not to make a direct    carbon copy     from a copyrighted image.  The public figure might not have a claim to it, but the photographer who took it does.  That's where Fairey ran into trouble.    You could probably get by on a one-time thing    like a quilt,    but if you were planning to mass market the item in question     (like Fairey and his stupid HOPE poster)      , you'd need permissions and image releases.

117 I could get fined up to $150,000  if I tried to sell celebrity images on my stuff without permission.  That's why I don't.  Politicians fall under a different set of rules, so I can use pictures of them if they are not copyrighted by the photographer.  It gets tricky. 

118 You can also get sued by the celebrity or the celebrity's estate.  Truly not worth the risk.

119 And no one wants to mention the elephant in the room. If something similar happened in Russia, we'd all immediately think Putin had done it.

Brietbart the Braveheart...I see him as William Wallace, who said:

"Every man dies. Not every man really lives."
From everything I read about Andrew, he lived at full throttle all of the time.

While I am sure Andrew would cackle at the comparison to William Wallace, I honestly see Brietbart as a leader of our cause to defeat Obama in November. His battle cry, from the last CPAC, was to unite in battle:

"We are in the fight of our lives." Never forget.

There are a myriad of #$%^&% ing ways around that.

127

One of the best ways to honor Breitbart would be for a Right leaning news service or blogger or both to do a complete expose' of just how the Sherrod Case was a window into how SCOAMF's unconstitutional regime has used an already wasteful government agency to act as a facilitator of slavery reparations to a bunch of fake farmers with taxpayer dollars.

Didn't PJ Media do a multipart series about it?  I know someone did because there was a bit pointing out that there were victims of actual discrimination who ended up getting next to nothing because of all the fake claims.

same....i had french from preschool until 4th grade and then 3 years in high school......failed my last semester.....i do like to irritate my kids by speaking in a french accent throwing in a few of the words i remember......

Posted by: phoenixgirl, rip andrew at March 02, 2012 09:39 AM (Ho2rs)

I took 4 years of French in high school and even though it wasn't boring I didn't devote a lot of effort to it.  Then a couple decades later I went to France and was surprised how much of it came back; not so much that I could keep up with rapidfire conversations in Paris but enough to get around pretty easily and have people compliment me for being reasonably proficient.

129 @Michael Savage broached the subject last night of a government hit. Not sure if that was rash or brave? The thought hascrossed my mind. ------ The timing bothered me at first, but you know the fact is that when something like this happens our minds look for connections. It's a natural phenomenon. But Breitbart was so active irritating them all the time, that any day that he would die under any circumstances would seem suspicious. It really seems that the simplest explanation right now is that it was natural causes. I'm sure that if the family is not satisfied with the autopsy they can have a second one performed and/or hire investigators. For now I think the best way to honor Breitbart is to pray for his family and honor his memory with stories like Russ' and by continuing his fight.

130 That Labash article at the Weekly Standard had another great Breitbart comment from the Ayers dinner:   "This is the bomb, Bill."

Breitbart was a true moron, in the very best sense.

131 <<But they are illegal unless authorized by Michael Jackson's estate.
Except they're not, unless they trademarked his face.>>

Okay, I'll need to read some of those, they're probably funny.

Actually it's pretty much just remove race/add Texan.  It may have just been my dad for all I know.  He was born in Colorado, and I think my grampa was too, but raised in CA.

146 Bring it, Kos Kiddies.  I'm sure there will be enough manly conservative men there to scare them to death.

147 Andrew Breitbart's death is a tremendous loss to everyone who loves liberty, and a huge loss to the conservative movement.  He had more  moral and political courage than do the entire human contents of the U.S. Capitol Building - and I would throw in the Pentagon for good measure.  He was one of a very few who took it to the Enemy, exposing them for what they are.  And none of this phoney Liberal-supervised civility, either. 

May he rest in peace.

From a commentor at flopping aces:

*

A friend of Andrew called him and said that ACORN was protesting at a local bank. Andrew told his friend “Meet me there.” Andrew parked his car and went to the back of it, lifting the trunk lid. He took out a pair of roller blades, and put them on. When he friend asked what he was doing, Andrew said “Going into the crowd.” Andrew, on roller blades, video camera in hand, went among the ACORN protesters, filming them as he asked them why they were there. No one seemed to know. They just knew that ACORN HQs had called them and told them to protest the bank. They also did not seem to know who he was.

Andrew did not like that the ACORN protesters were preventing a bank from doing business so, in true Breitbart style, he started telling the protesters that the protest was over and they were all supposed to meet up at a local DennyÂ’s just a few blocks away. Andrew skated among the protesters, telling one by one, to meet up at DennyÂ’s.

Andrew was laughing as only he could do. He told me that within 20 minutes, the protesters had dispersed and had descended on the local DennyÂ’sÂ…Â…Â…Â…..so he went home. One man, on roller blades, ended a protest against a national bank.

158 What the fuck is that new guy Ted yammering on about? :-) Welcome Ted.

159 Alright, I'm out for at least the rest of the morning (Yay Friday meetings!), and possibly for the day.

If so, let me take this chance to say having the HQ the last couple of days has been incredibly helpful to me.  For all you're imaginary midgets who live in my computer, I've come to view you as friends.

Also: Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

And I'll be on Vacation in the Caribbean next week, so someone will need to take up my slack on posting that in every thread.  It needs to be said.

Jebus, Ted. What the fuck is wrong witcha? Cursing is so......so........liberating! I fucking curse a lot. Have you ever comtemplated the versitility of the standard boilerplate cuss words of "fuck" and "shit"? Amazing! I learn so much here at AoSHQ. I got my primary blackgart training in the oil patch, but here at AoSHQ I'm working on my Ph.D. My time spent here is so worthwhile as I am constantly striving to improve myself. The instructors here are awesome!

Seriously, I would have loved to have met Breitbart in person and as many events as he came to, I figured to have a pretty good chance. Regretably, he did not live long enough. The world is significantly darker with his passing.

170 I cannot wait to see the College Barky tapes Breitbart was putting together. They're to come out in about ten days.

172

Just wanted to pass along my latest blog post - I went extra heavy on the snark, just like Mr. Breitbart would have wanted it:

Pay to Play (or, No, I Don't Want to Subsidize Your Sex Life) http://wp.me/p1ipEz-1kp

You want to be able to have consequence-free sex, and you want ME to pay for it with higher insurance rates? OK, fine – I’ll make you a deal:

IÂ’ll pay for your drunken weekends with whichever guy straps on the beer goggles at last call, but in return I expect you to keep your piehole shut when you have to pay higher insurance rates for MY lifestyle choices.
And boy, howdy, am I going to stick it to you BUT GOOD.

You just THINK youÂ’ve been screwed by all of those Frat Boys, but it is nothing compared to the rogering you are going to get from me.

I am going to start living a life of indulgent luxury – I’m going to plop my fat ass on my couch and watch television all day long – no exercise for me. I’m going to eat the fattiest, greasiest foods that I can find – there isn’t going to be a vegetable in sight. I don’t drink, smoke, or use drugs, but I am thinking about taking them up – just so I can run up your insurance premiums.

You see Ms. Fluke, you have as much as admitted that no one has to take personal responsibility for their actions. No, you sat in front of a national audience and said that each of us has to pay for whatever other people in the rest of the country decide they want to do.

And if you donÂ’t want them telling you what you can or cannot do with YOUR body, then you sure as heck donÂ’t get to tell them what they can or cannot do with theirs.

There's more (with pictures!) - I hope you enjoy it!

173 I ordered Andrew's book from the Amazon link on this site yesterday. 

It was the one thing I could do to honor him.

I did too, for Kindle - and got Levin's Ameritopia for good measure. I read the first chapter of Andrew's book last night and it near brought me to tears.

187 AB came here to read the comments

If Christina Hendricks pics are posted, would he watch us, you know ...

188 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama warned that he is not bluffing about attacking Iran if it builds a nuclear weapon, but in an interview published Friday, Obama also warned U.S. ally Israel that a premature attack on Iran would do more harm than good.

His comments appeared aimed more at Israel and its supporters in the United States than at Iran.

"I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don't bluff," he said in the interview. "




Who needs enemies when this prick is in the White House. If I were Israel or Iran, I'd say (publicly) fuck you pussy, what are you going to do about it and watch Barry (wetting his pants) run to the UN and tell on them

189 I guarantee that whatever's on the Obama Gone Wild tapes,

1) Us Morons probably already have guessed it
2) The MFM will dutifully shield the voting public from them and/or explain that they show conservatives to be raaaaacist (and/or homophobic, if they show Barky blowing a football team)

193 I could never break bread with the Ayers. I have no doubt that she murdered that police officer in SF and Bill helped her. They both belong in jail. But cop killing in SF seems to be not a big deal.

194 I met him very briefly in 2009 when he visited the bay area. His speech here motivated me to get involved to fight. I think I've lost sight of that over the past few months thanks to this primary. I remember now, I'm ready to fight for whatever chance we have.

Pete had an unnaturally small heart which went undiagnosed because he was afraid of doctors all his life; everybody around him was shocked by it.  Some outfit did a documentary on him that CBS showed a few times around final four weekend; although strangely enough on the local CBS outlet it was the first thing aired after 9/11 when they finally went back to regular programming.

Nice tribute.

 

I had never really thought of myself as part of a "treacherous hive of scum and villainy" before, but when I think about it, the phrase does have a certain "Je ne sais quoi." Do moron commenters now get a daily ration of grog?

 

Proud to be a part of the hive, even if a very minor one.

199 And this stupid racist cunt Sherrod is still pushing to take his family's money. Nothing is too low for a leftist when $$$ is at stake.
