TNR disses me and bonddad, proves it can't use Google
After using Google myself, and seeing a post by Kos today, I have come to the conclusion that these attacks they have been making against Kossaks are a cry for help.
TNR, DLC and NRO are going broke! I mean, they cant even afford to use real words, just letters!
From Todays DKos FP, from Kos:
I was reminded of that when reading this email:

Subject: The New Republic Digital Compliments of the DLC
Dear Friend of the DLC,
We want you to know about an exciting new partnership we've formed with The New Republic. As a result, we're able to offer you a free one-year subscription to The New Republic Digital.
In our years of providing our friends with political analysis and policy prescriptions, we've never offered outside products or promotions, but this deal seemed like a reasonable way to share the intellectual landscape with one of our favorite magazines.
Hilarious. Deseprate to give its product away for free, TNR may have found one of the few organizations in worse shape than they are.
And then I found this on Wiki:
As with almost all American up-market magazines of opinion, National Review has never turned a profit in all its years of existence. The magazine stays afloat by donations from subscribers and black-tie fundraisers around the country. The magazine also sponsors cruises with National Review editors and contributors as lecturers.
So, after some very deep thought...(about 1 minute, Im easily distracted) I decided that we should REACH out, and help those on the other side. In the interests of Humanity and peace. How can we idly sit by and watch them slowly wither away in front of their PC'S?
A Virtual silent Auction? Donations? What would be the best way to help here?
I will start with two highly prized items I will donate to this cause.
Up for bids:
One case of Rice a Roni! That San Franscisco treat!
(slightly weevil infested) Chicken flavoured, especially yummy for chickenhawks.
This Lovely Object d'art. (its not a urinal! its a loverly porcelain flower holder!.)
Comon Kossaks, Give till it hurts!! (laughing?) Let those on the right and the fake left know that we are good sports and that we are willing to let bygones, be bygones.
Anyone interested in recording a song to help the wingnuts....errrr.... suffering Online publishers? Im thinking of rewriting the classic "tears are not enough"
or "do they know its christmas"
Maybe we can get Celine Dion in on this one?
