Susan: Which blog?

Brad: I never saw it. I know Evans died and Novak kept the weekly report going in his honor. But the Evans Novak Political Report might finally come to a close now both of them are no longer able to write it.

Max-

You are only valued poster here on this blog, other than Adam himself. Its always great talking with you about various topics. You could be a star reporter just like Adam, and maybe follow in his footsteps.

By any chance you watched Greg Gutfeld cohost Fox and Friends this past weekend? What did you think about it? I bet you he could be a regular on the show, don’t you think?

Take Care.

Cavuto Back On-Air After Surgery: “So Many Of You Were So Concerned, You Stunned Me”

Max-

I remember the original Evans and Novak political show. It was about 10 years ago, and it was on another liberal network. It was very similar to Hannity and Colmes, with a liberal and a conservative. Back then FNC wasnt started yet.

Hey everyone-

Are any of you folks planning to watch the X-Games on ESPN at 8pm tomorrow and Sunday night. plus at 3pm on ABC? I dont usually watch any of those liberal stations, but i really like the awesome skateboarding and motocross action. Its really an adrenaline rush. Hope you all will decide to turn in.

Did any of you see that Hannitys America tonight, where they investigated all the myths about Elvis, including if he is really still among the living. I personally dont believe any of the theories, but i was wondering what you all think?

Adam you didnt fix me name… with the email addresss…. :O at 9 54 pm
——————————————————————

Don’t worry Avi, I’ve sent your e-mail address to a friend of mine who specializes in PC security so as to block any access to your computer via your e-mail account. In order to do that, however, we had to enter your PC to access certain personal accounts so that he could add scramblers and ciphers. You should be able to access your accounts with no troubles after 23:00Z and no one else but you will be able to do so…….
One question though………..while reading your accounts for possible unauthorized accesses we came across a Visa entry for Hebrew Hussies of Haifa Escort Service…………….what’s that all about?

Adam you didnt fix me name… with the email addresss…. :O at 9 54 pm

LDG..re axelrod…interesting read. thanks. Didnt “really” know who he was till this conversation. He was on one of the news shows this morning too. Makes me thankful that I know Karma is a b**ch. They will get their dues. I am ever so thankful that we live (seemingly) outside of that kind of corruption.

Patty
Your tiger cub story is all over the news today!

Susan
I guess I won’t be vacationing in Guayabitos.

That’s the second time you have done that; I’m not going to save your behind this time. lol
BTW where are you??

And who knows where Adam is? Maybe I should turn the tele on; I’ve been slacking in my couch potato reporting.

Susan - Good job, well said and curious myself - patting you on the shoulder

Patty - added an amendment to our Living Trust yesterday - thanks for the awareness lesson

Good morning all or Good afternoon or Good evening depending on when this gets posted!!!!

Sorry Susan, wasn’t available ‘yesterday’ to check in here.

re: Comment by Susan–AZ July 31st, 2008 at 4:12 pm

the “…certain media problem” cited was the statement that grass-roots support for an (any number of) issue(s) was not there. Not one in particular.

Here’s Business Week’s take on the man:

@LDG–

the trivia is not complete-

The Bonus:
A Democratic Party operative of note is the attributed recent source of a statement that “astroturfing” was their answer to a certain media problem.

What did they mean by that, and who is alleged to have said it?

(what is the statement– of this media problem? background?)

I need to know!

xxxx

@ Brad–

Out of curiousity sake?

Do you have a job? You seem to replicate your posts– meaning, you post one here and then the same one is on the other blogs.

Do you have a fixation on murder? LOL

I got it!
This is what the blog needs!!!!

http://peterkao.com/images/easy_button.gif

K2—

You just cracked me up!!!!!!!!!! I had to scroll way down here to say this!!!!!!!! AND SCROLL WAY BACK UP AGAIN to read your post again! You are so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is what law schools teaches you- contributory negligence! LOL

I wish Pelosi would work better with her mouth than with her flinging of her hands! Imagine having to go home to her! LOL

You just made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

‘morning everyone and Adam.

Adam…did you ever get to NY???
You were supposed to let us know what show you would be on.

I am a huge Red Eye fan

I wish Newt would run for President– he is so funny!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not the only one making fun of Obama’s answer to drilling! LOL

Adam–

How was your flight to New York? Any fishy stories?

WOOPS ADAM FIX MY NAME in the other comment

Adam…. i think you should be a fireman all you do is cover fires or at least it seems like it ;)……

and hello pppl……. super busy down here in the 305….

Patty - I never thought about the reason for Adam to go to New York…..YES, he is going to straighten out this posting issue!

Susan, Yep overinflated tires will resolve the issue…..until those tires blow and people are involved in accidents…..then the attorney’s step in to make some cash……oh, wait, Obama went to law school…… It is all making sense now!

As for politics - just remember it is not just the Office of the President up for election - but Congress, too. So, pay attention to all the B. S. flying about and send the ‘do nothings’ home. Vote in someone new…… I will have to vote to resend my Senator, as his opponent is Al Franken. Just can’t find any reason to send Al Franken to the Senate…….

But, a perfect time to relieve Ms. Pelosi from her job…..so she may spend more time ’saving the world’

All- (waving) wow, looks like you have had some fasts posts today. there are many! sorry I missed out on the fun (was busy “resting” on the beach today) btw, there have been a few fighter jets flying around the beaches near the space center the last couple days…hmmm elevated risk?

correction– Bahía de Banderas- digression–

oops– a more recent thread about polluted waters– Adam’s underwater scuba diving!

Digression but on a topic which Adam has talked about– reference Tom Jones–

My brother just called me as he is stuck at the LA airport–He went to our property on the coast- Guayabitos and the coast is trashed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guayabitos and Puerto Vallarta share La Bahía de Banderas which is known for its beauty– well the locals, aka gente popular, have totally trashed out the beach and the water–

The town’s black water drains right out next to our bungalows and the smell is unbearable. Our property manager, Jorge tries to reduce the smell by stopping the stream of black waters by using sand bags. During the rainy season and the tourism season the sands bags are pushed out by the force of the pressure.
Jorge has called the tourism department, health department, and El Municipio with no avail. He gets your typical Mexican run around, “We are working on it”.
Jorge mentioned to my brother that the municipio has finally brought in heavy equipment to fix this sewage problem and hopefully it will be fixed by next year. Meanwhile, the bay is a filth and the property is suffering from people complaining about the smell and are cancelling their reservations!!
I guess no one wants to swim in chara and smell chara!!!!

I am so ticked off at people who think it is cute to trash our environment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I don’t care what country it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here is what the bay is supposed to look like– got it off YouTube–

ah ha…since adam said he is going to New York tonight…maybe it’s to stand over the techs to FIX THE BLOG! *L*

I thought you all would appreciate the tiger post

LDG: David Axelrod is the master of astroturfing

digression warning……

K2…very well said about Bill C btw! Im so tired of hearing people say…well we didnt have these problems then…..grrrrrrrrrrr ’cause he didnt do anything!!
Thats why I have taken my “holiday” from politics….Im sick of… he said, no he said, no he didnt, yes he did stuff. I’ve learned all I need to know to vote…actually I learned all that prior to the new year’s 08!

Adam…everyone is stuttering! or you have the hick-ups!
*L*
posts are showing up twice if you hadnt noticed

note to the admin: when one person’s comments double post, it might be the user’s error… when it happens repeatedly and to different commentators, it ain’t us doing it Big Guy. There’s something screwy in the queue sequencing too, as comments come up in rather odd order, with some appearing back-in-the-pack after several later comments had already cleared. Just FYI.

now then, on to the game.

Susan-AZ at 12:10 pm on the 31st scores the Bonus. David Axelrod is indeed the reputed “master of Astroturfing” in question.

There you have it, folks. Thanks for playing!

oops– should say- we are all done with “our” …..

wow– these posts are coming up fast–not in order but coming up– the day I have to be away from the computer in a few minutes– dang! and I am getting repeat posts! My posts aren’t that great, Adam, to have a repeat! LOL

At LDG–

Axelrod– anything to do wtih lobbying? He says he doesn’t do any lobbying but go ask ComED–

OMG Patty–

that is such a cool story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember when I went to the Wildlife Zoo– Ken’s birthday was the same day as the white tigers born there as well!!!

I love these kind of stories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am copying the link and sending it out– thanks!!!

Brad–

Moi here– I could care less about Britney– the last story which caught my attention was the death of Anna Nicole Smith and it wasn’t her death so much, just the lousy friends she had who allowed her to be so self-destructive– as for the celebrities and their chara, I could care less! LOL

@Susan, Patty and Max

very fine replies on the second question (your comments just came up, btw). The difference between them has everything to do with perceived intent and the social dynamics of the group.

A clear demonstration of your membership in the elite “Digressor Squadron” here.
((grin))

@Karen2

Bravo! That is indeed what “astroturfing” is, in this context. A falsification designed to make it look like there is grass-roots support for some movement.

heh, and yes you did digress, but harmlessly. You must be in the “Digressor Squadron” as well.

@All

That leaves only the “who” in the bonus round, so feel free to fire up the search engines and use the clues you have so far.

@LDG–

David Axelrod– top political consultant for Obama

Patty, Great story about the tiger cubs…….

Brad, glad to see Neil is doing well and will be back to work.

LDG -

I agree with Susan, Max and Patty on Trolls and Digression……

but, no clue on who the ‘operative’ is. Astroturfing = making an issue sound like it was a grass roots effort - even though it was put forward by a political PR person. Astroturf (fake grass)

Appears to me, that the Dems are doing a lot of Astroturfing regarding the domestic oil issue. The old ‘drilling here will not help our current gas prices’. It will be 7 to 20 years before we see the benefit……. We have only 3% of the worlds oil reserves… but we use 25%……..

What they leave off is that we also produce 25% of the worlds products……guess we may be entitled to use that portion of energy…….

Oh, and just think, if Bill Clinton had not vetoed drilling in ANWR, just maybe we would not be so beholden to foreign oil. As Bill said, we should not drill there, as we would not see any benefit for 10 years….well, 10 + years later, here we are!
Oops….did i digress?

For the animal lovers….

@John

re “…is the answer…” — oh ouchy… Ok, that counts as an alternate label, although what I saw of that was more the stubborn contrarian sort.

re: “wrong party” — actually, all joking aside for a moment, no. That part of the trivia round is an entirely serious question, and I did mean a specific person (see below)

@Susan-AZ

In reply to yours (via e-mail) about needing a little help on the bonus: You are looking for a current member of the staff of the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, who is “the master of Astroturfing”.

Looks like we got the first question, in concept.
No one has braved the second one yet.
The Bonus is in progress.
