* Car-b-q podcasting from Silent Running, featuring an interview with French blogger Carine.

* One year out from next year’s US elections, Scott Elliott commences Election Projection 2006.

1. Four corners accedentally emphasises that multiculuralism in gaol doesn’t work-and how aborigines have been so successfully alienated from other Australians by the Labor party that they demand to be incarcerated with arab prisoners.

1. That’s “PIMF”, as in “Preview is my fiend”.

   Tell him to try again. I think I fixed the problem.

1. Andrea, try the word “fake” in

   * Meet a blogger who’s black, gay, working class … and wildly anti-Semitic. And most likely fake.

   Worked for me.

1. Yep, I have seen the message reported by Chrenkoff several times in the past few months when trying to visit this site from behind a government firewall/proxy.

   I just assumed that Andrea had banned someone in the past who would have shown up from the same IP address.  Somehow calling a prospective visitor to the site “loser” didn’t seem like departmental IT-speak!

1. MoDo’s not even the most dangerous columnist in Manhatten, let alone in America.

1. This is probably unrelated to the “loser” remark, but similar enough. When I try to visit your site from the library of the New York County Lawyer’s Association, it’s blocked by the porn filters.

1. dazed: it worked for you because Tim fixed it.

   byrd: nah, I just have it set up to block all lawyer associations from blue states.

1. Mixy, that’s “preview be my friend”—get with the program.

   And reading MoDo is, too, dangerous.  It can cause moderate to severe brain damage reading her crap.  Just listen to any regular readers of hers and tell me I’m wrong.

   Nope, the link was there and working as of the time of my first comment up at #1.

1. Well, all that means is Tim has the ability to change time. Toldja not to mess with Tim.

1. Seriously, I am beginning to think something is wacky with my computer at home. Remember how I could not even get my browsers—none of them, I have three or four—to admit this website even existed? Now I am at work and it opens fine. And at home I swear all I saw when I put the mouse cursor over this link was the timblair.net website. Hm, time for a new computer?

1. Tim used to be banned by a large organisation with lots of guns and ships and planes when he was over at blogger. He’s allowed to influence the security professionals of Oz now, however.

1. Arthur Chrenkoff deserves a Patriot Medal for being an honourable and outstanding Iraq Anti-Loser.
   It’s the losers who didn’t read him.

1. Tim is a Time Lord?

1. from “Sean M”s blog:

   I’ve started attending weekly prayers at a local Mosque near my home and it’s been going great.
   I’m hoping to find some meaning beyond the shallow ignorant redneck existence i’ve been exposed to – something beyond the dumbasses with their ‘McMansions and their wide-screen TVs. Those that voted for hoWARd at the last election out of ignorance, fear and self interest/greed.
   Wish me luck!

   Okay.  I wish you the very bad luck of having your new mosquey buddies figure out what you’re about, and applying the traditional shariasanction that their lovely religion applies to fellows of your sexual identity.
