Limbaugh has dropped from first to 37th in the ratings in Los Angeles and from fifth to 22nd in New York. Spanish language stations and NPR draw more listeners than he does. His average listener is 66 going on dead. And before you dismiss those as liberal havens (which wouldn't explain how he got to first or fifth in those markets, anyway), his ratings in Jacksonville have fallen 35 percent, in Houston/Galvestion 31 percent, in Seattle/Tacoma 40 percent. Stick a fork in him, he's done. And right-wing hate radio will follow him down the drain. -- D.F. Manno | dfmanno@mail.com GOP delenda est!

Better check your own dictionary before you post again, Barry my lad.
You'll note that a hypocrite is a person who pretends to have virtues,
moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not
actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
If you look at my post, it's obvious that my actions and beliefs are all
consistent. eh?
I am curious about something though. Your sig mentions MIT. Were you
actually a student there-- or just a part-time janitor? Maybe walked by
the campus one time on your way to the free clinic?

Pretty amazing how comments on changes to the UI in Firefox degraded to to discrimination/racist debate on the very first reply and nwo down to Klu Klux Klan. Mozilla resolved the image problem by getting the problem CEO to leave. Whether you agree with him or not, he was openly controversial, and that affected Mozilla's image and focus on improvements. So it is good he left. And the purpose of him leaving is exactly so that people would stop bringing up that issue. Seems some people are very bitter about it since it is the first thing they bring up when one tries to discuss the major changes in UI that came with 29. BTW, 29.0.1 brings substantial performance improvements and smaller memory footprint. 28 would rapidly grow to 5 gigs of RAM and low down, but 29.0.1 is still below 1.5 gigs for same number of windows.

Well, one of the first replies was from a consivertard asshole bragging about how he checks people for their politics before hiring them. Of course, he's never hired anybody or help a job that pays more than minimum wage (and that for only three weeks), but he is still a consivatard asshole. > Mozilla resolved the image problem by getting the problem CEO to leave. And that was the consivetard's objection, that they fired the controversial CEO. That's why he blocks access to his site (supposedly) for all Firefox users. -- OK OK! Ready? OK.

Because you're gay, it doesn't make me gay, Asswipe. Do you want to get popped up the ass? Would you want a strap-on, or the real thing? Or is it your just afraid of dick?

Would you want a strap-on, or > the real thing? Or is it your just afraid of dick? LOL. Yes, that's why gay women are gay - they're afraid of penises. Well done sherlock :-D I realise you have to be a moron to still be a bigot nowadays, but don't you're think you're being just a tad obviously with the stupidity? Maybe try being a more subtly stupid, eh? Well I suppose that would require a degree of sophistication... -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
