Brian:

There you go again. Not content to simply summarize what your link actually says, you feel compelled to misrepresent and embellish. Where do you see that it's the "Democrat rumor mill" that is being cited (sounds more like paranoid Republicans to me), and what indicates said rumor is "running wild" (as opposed to simply being one of Deacon's wet dreams)?

Hey, we're also "hearing talk" of McCain choosing Ron Paul as his running mate. The Republican rumor mill is running wild with that one! Your read it here, so feel free to include it in next week's roundup!

My job is to round up links and provide fodder for discussion. If you can't do anything besides find something wrong with the way I do things, there's the door. I believe you know the rest of the schpiel.

Thanks for reminding us of the last time you invented a definitive conclusion that was not supported by the attempts of author you linked to. It demonstates a pattern.

My job is to round up links and provide fodder for discussion.

Then represent them accurately. Otherwise the discussion is just about how you add facts that don't exist in your sources.

I've been playing nice, humoring you, no more.

I didn't make any conclusion regarding Mark's article in the NRO. I used his exact words lifted from directly under the title of his piece. It wasn't my conclusion, but his, obviously you can't stand to be proven wrong and won't admit when you are. Nice of you to admit you really don't care about getting your own facts/accusations straight.

Rumour=unconfirmed reports/story. Guess what that link refers to at Powerline? Unconfirmed story. Dumb ass.

Final invitation. If you don't like the way I do things, don't read. There's the door to my posts. Maybe the door hitting you in the ass on your way out will knock some sense into you.

OK. And where does it refer to the "Democratic" rumor mill "runing wild"? You cite a single Republican spreading a single rumor. One can't help but wonder where you found the little embelishments that you added to your summary.
