3. I know. I just tried to access the site.
They're working on upgrading the software. But you know, even though it was frustrating not to be able to get on the site right now, it's also a very positive thing that so many people want to thank this man for standing up and saying to Bush what so many of us want to say!

5. "Hooray for Harry!"
*

http://www.alternet.org/blogs/themix/34636/


"You never stop talking about freedom, and I appreciate that. But while I listen to you talk about freedom, I see you assert your right to tap my telephone, to arrest me and hold me without charges, to try to preclude me from breathing clean air and drinking clean water and eating safe food. What I want to say to you, is that I, in my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of, nor more frightened by, my leadership in Washington. I feel like, despite your rhetoric, that compassion and common sense have been left far behind during your administration. I would hope, from time to time, that you have the humility and the grace to be ashamed of yourself."

10. Poor Harry. He was worried about being spied on before. blivet is a
vengeful f**k. Hope he doesn't try to pay the guy back for publically describing him accurately and honestly.

23. I would advise Harry to stay off small airplanes for awhile.
Actually, maybe he should stay out of big airplanes, too.

22. The Slashdot effect
Slashdot.org is a popular website for people interested in information technology (slogan: "News for Nerds"). If a story on Slashdot mentions another website, that site often sees a sudden huge increase in traffic because of all the people visiting from Slashdot. A smaller site can be overwhelmed by all the hits, so that it slows down or closes.

The term is now more generally used whenever any popular website links to a smaller site.

More detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot_effect

The owner of the site also posted a diary about it.

8. I sure will
Just saw the clip of him talking to the chimp (Had heard about it all day but had not seen).

I loved the look of pure hatred on the Chimps face as Mr. Taylor spoke ... of course Taylor was articulate and intelligent and the Chimp babbled on with his little pat inane statement.

9. I hope somebody posts the Norman Rockwell painting for him.
It's Harry, all right. Don't have it at my fingertips, but you have all no doubt seen it, anyway.

11. Yes, I saw it
and it brought tears to my eyes. It was one of Rockwell's "Four Freedoms" paintings-this was "Freedom of Speech". Harry Taylor is a living embodiment of the painting.

14. Interesting to see the two...
Edited on Fri Apr-07-06 07:36 PM by BIgJohn83



I think Rockwell's Print is called Freedom of Speech. How appropriate... If we're not careful the chimp will try and take that away as well.

34. They are both by Rockwell
I think the one you linked to was the final version of that theme.

But they are both by Rockwell.

21. That's eerie...
Thanks for posting the painting. I heard Randi Rhodes mention the similarity on her show earlier today. It's like the same guy updated for the 2000's.

16. well, we're all Harry Taylors aren't we....
We appreciate the fact that he got into the invitation-only
Bush lovefests and that he actually got to speak, but a lot
of people have been speaking out against Bush Inc. and their
policies for years.
