I'd be interested to know what type of a piece you were approached and interviewed for.

I was approached for a "personal profile" which in my mind, based on such profiles in the New Yorker, Harper's and Atlantic Monthly, seek to explain and de-mystify the complicated motives and difficult personalities that lead to public misconceptions--even with, or especially with, unsympathetic characters--rather than re-hash old controversies.

Oh, and my wine splits suck.

Goofy 4 AM one-liners? Bull shit Don! You delete my posts because they are funnier than anything you could come up with! Or ballsier than you've got the guts for!

Oh, and my wine splits suck.

The "Deranged Insomniac" does collect the 'posted after midnight, deleted by six' smut (has for years). Mostly for private enjoyment. Like a good pornography collection. Much of that #$%! $#%& poetry is not lost.

This has to be the party that I saw, but it was Friday, not Saturday. Unless RTC had the misfortune of dealing with churlish groups of 7 in the bar on back to back nights.

Needless to say, there is more than one side to every story.

Granted that I only saw the second half of the affair, but I thought the RTC staff were as gracious and professional as possible in dealing with a difficult situation.

A person with the same username posted on one of the weather threads there today that he had more than 300 ewes about to lamb. For whatever reason, the commenters' names on the weather blog aren't hyperlinked into a user profile the way others are, so I'm not 100% sure it's the same person. If so, he really does seem to be a sheep farmer.

I saw his (or her) posts there (CWG) too, and was feeling bad for him (or her). Now I'm quite less inclined to be sympathetic to his (or her) plight.

Washingtonpost.com commenters are among the lowest of the low amongst internet trolls. It would be nice to see this one called out to verify the mud he is flinging.

Washingtonpost.com restaurant commenters are among the lowest of the low; I'm consistently amazed, impressed, and yes, even humbled at how thoughtful and well-written many of the comments are for some of the politically based columns. This political town is light years more advanced than this culinary town.

Cheers,

Rocks.
