Bridge to Now-That-You _ Are-Not-Here

"After more than 40 years as the Bridge to Nowhere, it is brilliant news that this infamous landmark has finally been completed..."
"... and will serve as a vital link in Glasgow's network of walking and cycling routes."

"And yet, as a metaphor, it is no longer useful."
 
Says Althouse at a new post this morning
 
And yet, as a metaphor with regards to her dynamiting, road side bombing her blog, it is totally useful. Its useful because I'm here on the other side, w/o a direct connection, which she had built and tended to for years and decided to cut off with a seemingly careless haste.

Ann seems big on metaphors Lem.

Ann suggests this story is a metaphor. She is right, Ann and Meade are the tigers (well more neutered Wisconsin house cats than tigers), spinning around the tree until they turn into butter. As for the valuable heartwood that the woodcutters were seeking, that is what the commentators used to create. Until she drove them away.

Good luck on your blog! I will add it to my blogroll.

Althouse says she tried to warn us via a policy of good faith commenting. But it seems to me that she failed to live up to her own policy of "good faith" by punishing people who had done nothing wrong, people who's only crime was to come to her defense many times when she was attacked and maligned.

I hope she comes back from the self imposed exile.

We don't even treat the illegals the way Althouse has treated us.

Good morning Lem--have be a long time reader of what I believe are the remails of the althouse blog--I have enjoyed your comments and look forward to participating on your blog--I generally comment about military/national security stuff and also public health issues--those are a function of my experience and education. I try to stay out of other issues because they can be toxic.

Well you are not fair Lem. I mean the Notorious Evil Blogger Lady
treats her husband like an illegal. He has to do the gardening and the laundry and the cooking. I mean does he even have a Green Jeans Card? Just sayn'

Don't start trouble trooper.

Just saying.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Thanks for coming Roger and keep coming back.

This blog will be here as long as I'm here, wherever that is.

Trooper York said...

Ok Lem. Your place your rules.

Trooper York said...

I will only stick to noncontroversial comments.

Boston sucks.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

that's not controversial, that's just a major league lie.
