From the Bloggingheads Vault...

I feel bad that no one is commenting on your post.

So here is a comment.

I used to give the ugly strippers a dollar.

That's just the way I roll.

Don't ask about my motive.

We have a friend who is a big dog lover. She is a retired attorney, and very even tempered. This woman runs a no kill shelter. She would maybe shoot Michael Vick if she had the chance. No shit.

deborah said...

Aw, Troop, I knew you cared.

Nick, there are some dog lovers who think no-kill shelters can be cruel in their own way. If the dogs are just being warehoused, with little human interaction, it's not good. Sometimes it's more humane to put them out of their misery.

I saw a little of it at TOP.

We went through this battle once and it wasn't fun then.

Nothing against you, deborah, but this was a running fight for, what?, 5 days and I think the fact her loyal commentariat stood its ground and refused to buckle (unlike the RINOs in Congress) made the final break inevitable.

So, no, ma'am, it's not that old and it's not at all good.

But the part that gets me is that we're supposed to feel all guilty over how we "oppressed" homosexuals (by doing what, not letting them have Pride parades?).

deborah said...

Ed, I'm confused. I'm referring to the Bloggingheads clip I linked about Michael Vick, and what the two sports guys were saying.

Did we fight for five days over the Vick thing?

Aridog said...

In the spirit Trooper evidenced...I want to post something, but I despise Blogging Heads. Can watch only a few minutes tops. BTW, which one of the videos did you intend we watch, the dog related one from 2008 (the oldie), or the Althouse & Loury one from day before yesterday (the goodie)?

Not sure what you're trying calli attention to here, deborah.

Michael Vick?

edutcher said...

Ooops, I thought you meant that item in the sidebar with the proprietress of TOP and Loury about same sex marriage.

I think everybody else did, too.

deborah said...

Okay, one of my faults is brevity. I'm a BH fan,and have an assortment of clips from over the years. I thought I might occasionally put one up.

Ari, the clip is only about 20 seconds long.

Ari, the clip is only about 20 seconds long.

I know...I survived, too :-] Now having Me comment on anything to do with Vick or dog fighting is tempting me to be at my vulgar worst. I hate anyone and everyone involved in any way, even just commenting favorably, with dog fighting. It is a major issue where I live. Not very crazy about the dismissiveness regarding *if he had beat his wife* blah blah, either.

I do better next time. Just your bad luck the TH sidebar had TOP featured ...that one I didn't watch.

It's a valiant effort on the part of Deborah.
A quick review, off the top of my head, if I remember correctly.

There were almost no redeemable "good" characters in that story. To try to plum just one little aspect of it w/o doing a lot of work isolating that little morsel is tantamount to a near impossibility.

In other words, I attempted that often myself.

It is a comment thought. Don't get me wrong.

deborah said...

Nothing valiant, Lem. Just trying to throw up an interesting link. The old guy saying something non-PC plus his 'fuggedaboudit.' Kinda cute, kinda old school, hits the nail on the head. But then again player abuse of dogs is much rarer than player abuse of women.

Phil 314 said...

They told me there would be no Bloggingheads on this blog.

Unknown said...

Should I be upset that he owned dogs with the intent to fight or happy that he wasn't beating his woman/ any woman? Either case is a sorry state of affairs.... I respect neither.

rcocean said...

BHTV does a sports DV and who do they get? 100 year-old LAMO Bob Lip-style.
Who gives us the standard NYT liberal establishment viewpoint we can hear 24/7 on NPR/PBS/CBS/NBC/ABC/ESPN etc. etc.

I guess Keith Olbermann was unavailable that day. A perfect example of what's wrong with BHTV.

Michael Haz said...

We need some Lem Heads vlogging with each other. How does that thingie work?

deborah said...

rc, I thought it was cool just to see the old school guy, I see your mileage varies :)

Okay, Haz, you're first up...who are you going to invite to talk with you? There's some technology now where you can talk using a Google(?) social network interface. You and however many people you are talking with show up on the screen.

Trooper York said...

That might be pretty good Haz.

If the technical details could be worked out.

Trooper York said...

I would be happy to do one with Crack or Ritmo.

That would be pretty funny.
