"Are Grits Goceries" and his Post on Death Panels

[Mira]

just got mentioned by Thom Hartman. Said to a caller who disagreed with him on healthcare reform to go to Democratic Underground and read the post by Are Grits Groceries about what is happening.
It always makes me feel good when we get that kind of publicity.

1. I think "AGG" is of the female persuasion

I heard it too. And I agree, right on Are Grits Groceries and DU.

2. Can you post a link for those of us who didn't see it the first time?

[havocmom]

4. search is your friend.

Posting a link will just make things easier for the wingers who don't donate to DU. Why would we wanna do that?

12. search yeilded nothing.

and politeness is your friend too.

[havocmom]

25. Not giving someone what they wanted is not a sing of lack of polite behavior

Redefine the search, and see what it yields. And forward complaints to Miss Manners.

8. Just came back - and here it is

I can't tell if it's the same
What was so nice was that it was a simple throwaway line by Thom Hartman, kind of like
"just go to Democratic Underground there is a thread by "Are_Grits_Groceries" telling you all about this"
as if everybody would immediately know what he is talking about .

I loved being on the map like that.

3. Technically, it's Southern Beale's blog post.

But thanks to Are_grits_groceries for finding it!

10. I doubt that 'Southern Beale' and 'Are_grits_groceries' are the same person.

'Are_grits_groceries' posted excerpts from a blog entry by 'Southern Beale.'

11. nevermind. thanks for the link above...

[Are_grits_groceries]

13. I posted excerpts.

I wasn't trying to mislead anybody. Southern Beale is a great blog. If I posted it the wrong way, let me know. I have been posting like that with links since I started. I emailed the blogger in case she heard it.

I am female and grits are groceries. I live in SC where I am ever so delighted by our political representation.

Thanks - grits

16. Way to go! Congrats!

So, are you enjoying our Gov's little kerfuffle over the plane? And how about SLED and the Post and Courier? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I do believe the money is going to be the downfall of Sanford and Lloyd before it's all over.

22. Our state government is a source

of never ending idiocy. I marvel at the ways that the players manage to eff things up so badly.

Reggie LLoyd is an idiot. Anybody who can manage to get into a spat with the P & C is working at it. He'll never get asked to "The St. Cecelia Society" that way.
:rofl:

[mascarax]

26. congrats on the Thom Hartman mention!

He probably enjoys your posts about dear Senator Graham too! ;-)

14. I heard it!!!!!

Props to DU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15. Email from "Southern Beale"

Thank you so much for the link. I've been out all day today and came back to tons of comments on the thread and Sitemeter told me I had 500+ hits in the past hour alone. Digby and Crooks&Liars picked it up, too. I'm sure it all started with your link.

I really appreciate it. It was a hard post for me to write because I still feel a lot of pain about that day. I'm glad it resonated with people.

Thank you for reading,

Southern Beale


Everybody is getting props!

19. It's a great post - Bravo AGG

The Rude Pundit also has a 'must read' blog today called Fuck Sarah Palin.

[Are_grits_groceries]

21. Now my world would be complete for a while

if Sarah Palin answered Kathy Griffin. I've got the popcorn ready. I think KG is gonna smack her anyway.

Thanks for the "FSP" hint. It was great.
