ctv101103 @ctv101103 (859) • Philippines 24 May 07

For bloggers here in mylot, how often do you update your blog? daily? weekly? monthly? Since I'm keeping a blog (http://cez.wifespeaks.com) to update relatives/friends/family of the goings on in our family, I update it with our...

andypolitical I keep a political blog, so I try to update it is often as I can. However, because I have a job and a family, that turns out not to be as often as I want. I make a commitment to myself to update my blog two or three times a week. Anything extra and I...

Charlie really is dead guys.. the sad news here!!

misheleen73 @misheleen73 (6037) • United States 25 May 07

I just read an article which I will link to below, and it sounds as if that's the final curtain call for Charlie. I really like dhis character, and I think he's grown quite a bit. But at least he got to go out a hero right? And...

andypolitical I am going to take the unpopular view, I am glad he is gone. I felt his character got pretty whinny as the season went on and am glad he is gone. I thought they did a good job wrapping up his character in the next to last episode. Here's to Charlie, long...

Jimmy Carter "the grader" does not make him "the greater"

eclecticsteve @eclecticsteve (253) • United States 20 May 07

To be upfront, I do not like many of the policies and actions that the current President Bush has taken during his 6 plus years in office. But for Jimmy Carter to call this President the worst in history? Talk about nerve. And...

The Worst President Ever!

Chiang_Mai_boy @Chiang_Mai_boy (3882) • Thailand 20 May 07

Jimmy Carter has made a statement that is unprecedented in history. Never before has an ex-president stated that a serving president is heading the worst presidential administration in history but that is just what he has...

andypolitical I think Carter needs to remember the old adage, "Those in glass houses...." A very strong argument could be made that Carter was the worst President of the 20th century, and perhaps of all time. I think he definitely qualifies as a top ten worst all time....

Why Won't the Pelosi/Reid Congress Do Things They CAN Do?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 21 May 07

For years we have heard the Democrats in the House and the Senate talk about what they would have done if they were in power. They said they would run audits on the war funds and Hurricane Katrina. There are a lot of things...

andypolitical I think one of the biggest reasons is that the DNC knows most people don't want Congress to spend all of its times launching this investigation and that investigation. On the flip side of the coin, Pelosi and Reid can't seem to get any funding passed, or agree...

andypolitical I guess it is time for a Bush supporter, and a supporter of the Iraq war to chime in. There is very little doubt that Carter is one of the worst President's since WWII. I won't relist everything from above, but just look at the feeling in the country when...

How long does your KoL addiction last?

SirMattias @SirMattias (106) • United States 7 Apr 07

I've gone through my share of game addictions, mostly with the online MMORPG's and html based webgames, Kingdom of Loathing having been my most recent one. I'd say i went for about a month straight playing fairly religiously...

andypolitical I played for about two months pretty seriously. Did a hardcore ascension, ascended again, and got tired of it. I felt like it was the same thing over and over again. --Andy

andypolitical Sorry, I am going to cast my vote for the "kill Charlie" side. I have really not liked his character for the majority of this season. If he is gone, they could spend some more time developing Namoi. --Andy

Did Ben go back to using his cane after shooting Locke?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 17 May 07

I was just positive Ben was not using his cane last week before he shot Locke, but last night (05/16/07) when he walked into the camp he was using a cane again. Is it just me or am I remembering wrong? I think Ben is really...

4 responses

andypolitical I don't think he was using the cane when he and Locke visited Jacob. He was definitely back on the cane when he sends the raiding party to the Lost-ies. I think his healing isn't going so well because he betrayed Locke and the Island. --Andy

Swtrose @Swtrose (3385) • Canada 15 May 07

Peer pressure plays a big role in determining how children and teens acts. Society needs to address that and quit blaming 'parents' for the actions of their children. When do we as a society start holding children accountable? As...

Who get's the Goalie job next year?

andypolitical @andypolitical (72) • United States 16 May 07

I saw an article where the Wild are pursuing Backstrom for next season. Because of the salary cap, there is some speculation that it might be a good idea for the Wild to dump Fernandez. Of Backstrom, Fernandez, and Harding, what...
