ASA would be a tail recursive TLA but I believe the first recursive
TLA was head recursive, and that TLA was GNU. Can anyone tell me what
it stands for *without* looking it up on the web? Pulling out your
GunEmacs manual is allowed as long as it's the old yellow one with the
weird drawing on the front that says something about the planet noi.

Gnu's not unix.

Damn.... That was *fast*. And half way around the world no less....

Are you saying I'm half-fast?

Hey, it's better than being double-slow.

Right. It's a recursive TLA.

I think TLA was the first recursive TLA. How could something else be
the first recursive TLA if TLA wasn't defined yet?

TLA is recursive isn't it? Or is it merely self-descrptive like short,
polysylabic, sesquipedillian, and upge****ed ? (the last one being auf
Deutch...)

web?

Everybody knows what GNU is (or rather what it isn't - eat your heart
out SCO!)

book _Lies and the Lying Liars that Tell Them_ ? In one day it went to #1
on the Amazon best seller list, and it doesn't come out for a month yet.


obski: DIN is a TLA

According to

http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/

DIN is a DBA (drei-buchstaben-akronym).

Of coursse, it also says "Keine Garantie für die Richtigkeit!"

I hadn't heard about the suit until now, but OMGROTFLMAO. That's
almost as funny as watching O'Reilly pop a vein at the BookExpo
luncheon.....seems like somebody at Fox should oppose this sort of
frivolous lawsuitery.

Fox copywrited (or some such protection) the term "fair and balanced" in
1995. You think it's frivolous to peruse someone that purposefully
challenges that. Seems to me he was asking for it and got what he
wanted. Unfortunately it will still work to his benefit.
It does go to show your lack of objectivity though. You Bush haters are
so funny.

Last night Davis, in an attempt to defend himself, said something to the
effect of "what about the National Economy? That was great under
clinton, now look at it". Totally ignoring the fact that the downturn
started under clinton and is now showing healthy signs of recovery.

ITYM "Saddam lovers" or "Terrorism Supporters", or maybe "Pinkos";
whatever the term of the day is for somebody left of the Prezdet. And
what does Bush have to do with it? Unless you mean his stance on tort
reform, which would seem to put him more on Franken's side here.
Added to that, that's a pretty weak trademark to begin with, and it
was granted in the Clinton era, so you just KNOW it was issued in
exchange for money, drugs or tail, right? Which side are you really
on, here?

But it's not Davis being sued, it's Franken, and AFAIK they haven't
worked together for years.

No surprise Bob Thompson attacks Al Franken, who exposes liars and
manipulators. Just the way he attacks me.

FWIW,

Hold on there. That's not a TLA, that's an FLA, and you know haw much
trouble you can get into mixing FLA and politics. I'd quit while you
are still ahead.

the rather commonly used phrase "fair and balanced" seems like a
silly and presumptous term to copyright.

Now, if you turn "Fair and Balanced" into a TLA, you get FAB.
Unfortunately, FAB has already been registered as a trademark by
Colgate-Palmolive. IOW, it seems like FOX is SOL on copywriting FAB as
their official TLA.

Film at eleven.

I think it's against the law to peruse someone without their
permission. Otherwise people would get perused all the time. And that
just wouldn't be right.

dOOd.... there is more to politics than pro-bush or anti-bush. Your
argument shows the complete lack of logic and black/white fallacy
employed by the probush camp.

BTW, I've trademarked the term Bush Haters(tm). Please refrain from
using it.

Can we stick to one fair and balanced argument at a time?

p.s. I actually like bush.. neatly trimmed.
