Comments on: Welcome to the Nut House http://www.mahablog.com/2006/07/02/welcome-to-the-nut-house/ Exposing the ugly truths about the Bush Administration.

Today the righties are linking to a Little Green Footballs post titled “The Media Are the Enemy.” (I don’t link to lgf, but it shouldn’t be hard to find if you really want to read it.) I gather from other rightie posts that a New York Times photographer took a photo of a Shiite militia sniper aiming at Americans, and the righties are outraged. Expect more calls for Times managers and staffers to be hunted down. And you know the bleepheads are taking their cues from the GOP and White House insiders.

It must suck to have spent all that time on an unmarketable PhD from Rand Graduate Institute only to find that the Pentagon doesn't give RGI graduates any love any more. 2) It's a sad commentary on how far thing have gone that Heretik's sarcasm is so easily mistaken for a genuine rightie screed.

I have 120' plus feet of rake and eave needing 8" plus about 50' of rakes needing 5" [these are the dormers with 1x4" fascia]. But I am really considering using PVC [probably 6"]cut in half for oversize gutters which are supported by self-designed wall brackets. I figure a gully-washer will bring water off the outer curve, but a gentle rain will bring it off the lower finished edge.....so I need a wider than usual gutter. I have 44' of eaves needing gutters. Ideas appreciated..... Back on topic: I visited a couple of rightie sites and found that there is some pullback of this behavior of targeting the NYT people. Plus, some rightie commenters are alarmed by the targeting, too. I really really wish that someone from the NYTimes would file a law-suit to stop this sort of thing, and sober up those twisted ones.

I understand the job is very complex,I just can't get my mind around the images you describe.Your house must be really something....I just live in a plain old colonial(boring).But I must admit I am somewhat addicted to houses that are unique.I have been thru the victorian phase and now I long for something like a Frank LLoyd Wright(I guess that would be great to re-roof, flat and rubber!) Hi! My name is justme and I am a real estate addict!(lol) Donna,, I really really would love to see photos of the project you are working on… I understand the job is very complex,I just can’t get my mind around the images you describe.Your house must be really something….I just live in a plain old colonial(boring).But I must admit I am somewhat addicted to houses that are unique.I have been thru the victorian phase and now I long for something like a Frank LLoyd Wright(I guess that would be great to re-roof, flat and rubber!)

That's when he is not visiting Bill Bennett's show. Wonder what the topic was for Bill's rightwing listeners this morning?

I contemplated the challenge from afar and was thinking along similar lines except, I was thinking that ripping in half a PVC drain pipe of the closest diameter in 10' lengths and fastening it by a similiar method to the way you did. In any event, it's not a job for he faint of heart and as you describe it..I can tell, it aint gonna kick your butt. That challenge( the fascias) is where your going to get the greatest satisfaction in doing. A big thumbs up for you. WOW, Donna…I’m impressed..I guess you know what you’re doing.
