Could you count all the posts you've made about Iraq and Bush for me? I was going to count them myself, but after the first fifty, I realized that might take more time than I've got.

Oh wow... It's like a bunch of information about Hussein, Iraq and the US, but it's presented in an incongruous way, so it's way more clever. My favourite parts are the bias and the poor context of the facts!

I thought the best part was when they couldn't pick a verb tense.

Well, you're admitting that they are indeed facts which is better than most right-wingers can manage. So you get a cookie and a pat on the head.

Come on, Postroad. I'm on your side and even I say that you can do better than this.

My favorite part was when I got blindsided into opening a webpage at work that was full of pictures of naked and tortured detainees. Not that I don't mind looking at people getting tortured. I just like to do it in the privacy of my own home, if you catch my drift.

I especially enjoyed the c. 1996 animated gifs all around the page.

'Stead of a cookie, can I get some source citations?

While I agree with the spirit of the slideshow, don't dispute the facts, and love Der Bingle, it could easily have been far more powerful.

Glib choir-preaching propaganda at best, a trite monument to its creator's over-estimated cleverness at worst.

While I know much of it is true or mostly true, the last time this was posted I asked for citations as well. I don't think I ever saw any.

Not that it matters much. Soon this thread will hit the bitbucket like so many pork bones in a coke bottle.
