#1 Fred - I'm sure it will depend upon what tribe(s) they're from. Little has changed out in the stix - except now there is Int'l coverage of it - and it's our fault, of course, that it's not Sausalito, yet.

#3 Frank G - I think it would be fishy if there were, ahem, but I recall there's a *great Thai restuarant, right?

* If there's only one, well... When someone here in Chiang Mai sez they know a "great" Thai restuarant, we sit up and listen!

#6 Frank G - I've finally broken silence over at Daily Pundit (where I read your posts and know to put down my coffee cup first) - that Veit weenie's attempt to monoplize it finally pissed me off. I may not go back.

Otherwise, I found the Reporters Without Borders thing to be deliciously ironic. They're not as bad as many (e.g. AI), but to have the Libyan-run UN commish ban them for a year - how much proof does LH (our resident - captive? - intelligent and reasonable Lefty) or anyone else need regards the UN's demise? Sucker's DEAD, IMHO. D.E.A.D.

So, uh, how's the wife & kids? ;-)

#7 lol my trail's long... my wife's an ex, and I raise my 3 on my own - Bill Quick (DP), Instapundit, and LGF are my favs with RB homepaged, also Cold Fury, Mark Steyn (in any paper he services), and Lileks. Getting tired of Andrew Sullivan's focus on gay marriage. I get around, ask Alaska Paul

#9 Re: Ex's - I always refer to mine as the cure for The Man Who Has Everything - she can disabuse him of that little problem in no time. ;-)

I don't even try to comment at Instapundit - waay too many people to actually achieve any meeting of minds, IMHO. LGF is almost as bad, but I always enjoy the comments there - esp when a troll inevitably appears. Dunno Cold Fury! Steyn is a good read, but the papers make it hard to respond or it's only one-way, in my experience... I'll look again. Lileks is like Reynold's blog - bizzy. And I stopped even reading Mr SIG Sullivan. Not my bag. I'll pay more attention to the comment posters, now, and look for you & AP! Sometimes I comment at BuzzMachine - but it's usually a more liberal crowd than I care to debate at 50 on 1 for the hotter topics - I'm not a troll.

Re: dot.com thing - Yup. TGA baited me yesterday with that jibe about how the Phrench would pronounce "PD" - disgusting, so I bailed. I don't even know what absurdity their Ministry of Culture (a misnomer if there ever was one) has substituted for the anglo phrase "dot com" - but the fact that they must have one, and consequently won't mangle dot com was why I chose it.

#10 I always refer to mine as the cure for The Man Who Has Everything - she can disabuse him of that little problem in no time. ;-)

MAN! we have WAY too much in common lol. Mine is on her 4th husband - poor bastard - he seems like a really good guy..musta missed the PD/TGA thing..too bad - half the enjoyment/learning is when people you think you know, change tacts....makes you think. I like that...and AP has seen my family pics/work email enough to know who I am....

#11 "Mine is on her 4th husband..."
Too much, indeed! Mine's on her 5th! We were married 11+ yrs - in the 20 since divorcing, she's gone thru 3 and working on her 4th, and Royal Princess sez that he's on the rocks. Too funny! Prolly should've killed it at about year 3 but a drop-dead gorgeous woman who can suck the chrome off of... oops, sorry. Let's just say there were a couple of mitigating circumstances that kept me around waaay too long. Ahem.

You should come check out Thailand. It is the cure for the man who has been cured by the bitch from, uh, Texas. When you get past that, it's got some other very nice aspects, as well. Good King. Corrupt Govt. Situation normal - except the people are truly the nicest on the planet. And if there are any indignant femalian Rantburgers out there, well, just remember that a few of you have fleas, too.

#12 you should stick with the PD - why let Euros/French determine your moniker? Show some backbone!
