Congrats to Captain Ed [Dan Collins]

Who has accepted a position as Political Director for Blog Talk Radio.  He’s an excellent choice, and he’s going to continue to post at Captain’s Quarters.  Godspeed.

Now, do you suppose there might be a chance for Jeff to do a program On Language there?

Thanks for asking.  Well, here in Vermont, the snow’s coming down pretty heavily.  We’ll have over a foot, by all indications, by the time I get up in the morning, and I’m in charge for the Saturday rotation at work, so I’ll have to dig out and get up there.  It’s beautiful.  But, holy crap, am I sick of it.

Anyway, it’s really slow here.  Maybe people are getting an early start on Paddy’s.  I’ve got to go over to the Wheelers’ and sing harmony with Maureen tomorrow evening, assuming things aren’t cancelled due to the roads.  So, I don’t know.  Maybe I’ll hang around.  Maybe I’ll go to bed.

So, anyway.  Um . . . t-bagg has the story of Ace losing face at the neighbor’s place.

It’s Official! Angelina Jolie adopts Mahatma Gandhi.

    Jeff could do a show on language, but not on cockslapping.  The Cap’n runs a tight ship and he doesn’t allow any of that kind of stuff!

  2. Dan Collins says:

    Cockslapping is language, but yeah, he’d probably be keelhauled.

    But I thought it was a manly ship and he ran it in a manly way.

  4. Dan Collins says:

    Arrrrrrhhh, but you’ll not be sayin’ faggot on my ship, lad.

    I vote for letting Captain Ed get firmly ensconsed in his new position before letting loose the language of the Jeff upon the masses.

    Congrats Cap’n Ed!

  6. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Jeff has no chance of ever doing anything more than this.

    He is not a good fit for the GOP/Conservative world.  But his ideology has taken him there, much to the detriment of his potential real-world opportunities.

    He is an idealist.  The fucking idiot.

  7. Jeff Goldstein says:

    He should also point out that Captain Ed answers none of his emails, nor links to any of his pieces.

    Because one must be sure to distance oneself from such vulgarity as proceeds from this hotbed of libertinism.

  8. Bill D. Cat says:

    the language of the Jeff

    …has kind of a lyrical quality , that .

  9. Dan Collins says:

    Well, it’s nice to see you, anyway, Jeff.  How are things, otherwise?

  10. B Moe says:

    He is an idealist.  The fucking idiot.

    I would say Jeff is a realist.

    But what good is that in a surreal world?

  11. Mark says:

    Mark checks his shoes to see what he inadvertently stepped in, sees nothing, but worries just the same about some new clearshit technology that he is woefully unaware of grin

  12. Dan Collins says:

    some new clearshit technology

    If the satellite radio merger goes through, they’ll roll that out.

    It will be a long time before I think of Ed outside of the context of that creepy neo-50s “open letter” in denunciation of Anne Coulter.

    One of the points of CPAC is the opportunity it gives college students to meet other young conservatives and learn from our leaders. Unlike on their campuses—where they often feel alone—at CPAC they know they are part of a vibrant political movement.

    That’s right Cap’n! Me and my fellow young conservatives deserve a place to congregate without a dirty potty mouth around! We used to feel so alone – but thanks to you, Cap’n, we’re part of a vibrant political movement that gives us fellas a place to BE OURSELVES without those nasty gay slurs to bring us down! Aces, Cap’n!!

    Conservatism and Its Discount Tents:

    Crazy kids and their jungle music.  Ah, well . . . it’s just a fad.

    It does indeed, as all of us regular readers know intuitively. It’s the irregulars that are worrisome…

  16. Dan Collins says:

    I know that when I log in, I think to myself: who’s looking out for me?  Because if they’re looking out for me it’s harder to cold-cock them.

  17. Bill D. Cat says:

    Dan ,

    OT , you know Steve Janke’s site ?

  18. Dan Collins says:

    Bill, I recognize the name.  I think we’ve emailed once or twice, too, but I can’t connect it with the site.  Clue me in.

  19. Dan Collins says:

    Oh, yeah.  I remember.

  20. Bill D. Cat says:

    Dan ,

    Give me a sec and check your mail.

  21. Bill D. Cat says:

    All I can think of Dan , is this ….

    “Congrats to Captain Ed” is not a winning traffic-grabber for the Protein Wisdom on a Friday night I’m thinking.

  23. Steve says:

    You can listen for FREE to 25 of America’s top Talk Show hosts at the Internet Radio Network.  Additionally, there are links to email the President, VP, and Congressional Leadership.  The URL is http://www.netradionetwork.com

    ps.  Maybe Protein can give me a link. smile

    I thought Captain Ed was a horse.

    What’s happening on the Plame in Congress front?

  25. Dale says:

    What’s up with the stuff about Ace? I don’t quite get it.
