   He did find time to provide us with a new justification for Iraq, and this one is as close to the truth as this kabal of liars has been: oil.

   [...] h anything he does even when it is the right decision) his return from vacation means that things were  getting too hot down in Crawford. Talk about petty. Nex [...]

   Rob seems pretty intent on supporting Dear Leader until his poll numbers hit zero.

   In all fairness, though–do we really want AWOL George “helping” NOLA recover? After all, his track record is just perfect in tackling an issue and making it much worse than when he found it.

   Maybe you’d be happier at a site where every idea is treated with respect and due consideration, like Free Republic or Little Green Footballs.

   Maybe Oliver can explain his “moderation” policy for the rest of us.

   I submitted a post very early this morning, which was held “pending moderation” for several hours, then, if I recall correctly, posted to the site.

   Now it’s gone again.

   It contained no ad hominems, although it did express some unpleasant truths Oliver probably wasn’t happy to see on the site.

   So, what gives? It’s your blog, and you can do whatever you want with it. But if you want an Oliver Willis echo chamber, please let us know, because that’s going to be very boring.

   As usual, however, Dubya goes in the wrong direction.

   Tuco- I think Oliver is going DU on us. No really good dissent allowed. (If not, O-Dub, let us know. What gives?)

   Tuco: If it’s any consolation, it’s happened to my posts before. I think (I could be wrong) it’s probably an application problem as opposed to a moderation-thing.

   I do notice that if you post too much in a short period of time, comments go to moderation.

    I’ve noticed posts with HTML links get held back…I’ve reposted them again immediately afterward, without HTML links, and they go up fine.

    My guess is it’s a software thing…

    What’s it gonna be, Oliver? He’s ending his vacation or Where the hell has he been?

    Jeez…

    What’s it going to be, Frank? Was he having a ‘working vacation; at the Western White House or was he actually unable to do his job from there?

    He takes a vacation every August, stupid… He ended it when the hurricane hit. What should he have done?

    Too bad you’re not the President — everything would be handled properly then. /sarcasm off.
