Brad is Outta Here…For a Bit…

Share article:

Heading up to Santa Clara to speak this weekend (see “Media Appearances” section at top of front page, and come on by if you can!) Don’t know if I’ll be on or offline over the next week. Please assume I’ll be off, and don’t hold it against me. Need a break anyway. Though knowing me, I won’t be gone long. Although I’m happy to leave the messes in TX, IL, CA and elsewhere to John Gideon anyway 😉

He and David Edwards will be holding down the fort here. Treat them kindly. If anyone needs me, contact John or David and they’ll know how to track me down!

And stay outta the liquor cabinet while I’m gone! Seriously, I marked the bottles, and I will be checking them when I get back.

P.S. Don’t forget to VOTE FOR US!

    Mornin Dredd, I know what everyones saying about the new Liberal death camps and all (yours LOL)

    Try this one on, they’re expecting the "Big One" to hit out
    there anytime now, its about fifty years overdue now, by digging down through the layers and seeing that they hit on average about every 80 to 100 years and they’re actually thinking ahead?….NAH

    Ricky #11

    Did you not read everything in the editor’s notes?
    "(Editor’s Note: This document is handwritten and has no official seal…The document does not establish that the two parties did in fact enter into an operational relationship"
    "While the assertions contained in this document clearly support the claim, the sourcing is questionable — i.e. an unnamed Afghan "informant" reporting on a conversation with another Afghan "consul." The date of the document — four days after 9/11 — is worth noting but without further corroboration, this document is of limited evidentiary value.)"

    Ricky #12 – The NY times screwed up again – so you think we approve? I don’t get your point!

    Oh Ricky – on a second read – I don’t recall seeing anything here regarding that story. Could you provide the link please, I’m sure Brad would be glad to set the record straight regarding that fraudulent woman.

    Whatever happened to Harry Whittington? Not a note about his health in the news since he disappeared from the hospital. Is this another Whitehouse media lockdown? Are we to believe Deadeye Dick filled him with 200 steel pellets (all of which still reside in his neck and chest) and he’s a healthy and happy Republican supporter?

    Can anyone come up with any evidence that this unlucky former friend of Dick Cheney isn’t dead or in seriously bad shape?

    Have fun Brad, I’m sure everything will be OK because:

    Oh well – it’s up now, nothing us here at Bradblog didn’t already know. Why it seems like such a shocker to Raw I don’t know.

    Dredd,
    Went to your link & found this from Russ Feingold….

    http://www.progressivepatriotsf...om/page/s/vote

    It’s a list of possible congressional candidates & a call to vote for whomever you think is the best choice. The winner will then receive a $5000 boost from the Progressive Patriots Fund.

    Ummm…and could someone please pass the Stoli before Ricky drinks it all?
