"It would be easier to effect service of process on someone who blogs here should that ever become necessary."

So now you are threatening people, am I right?

And as you were called out on NLS, posting anonymously there and making up a bunch of different screen names here does not constitute "quitting." 

I understand your frustration (with what's happening in our country/world), but you're usually much nicer than this.

This is not conducive to a healthy blogalogue.

And I have removed it.

And you're right, I am much nicer than this.  But it has been a nice week without RK's favorite troll, so I was having a welcome back party.

I wonder what his bosses would say about him doing nothing at work except playing on blogs that aren't even in his state, and apparently trying to eat himself to death. Too bad he let us know who he is; there's the contact info, the address, the phone number, the email...

OUCH. I think I'll be giving the office a call Monday; I mean, I am sure his bosses don't want to waste their money on some guy who doesn't do anything all day, right?

To the anon poster at 10:04 a.m.:

Little advice to you. The moment you pickup the phone and place a call to the above-referenced West Virginia office, you will have availed yourself to that jurisdiction.

Frankly, what you have written appears to be a threat. Any action on your part will be handled appropriately.

However, I feel personally threatened by this post and get your message loud and clear.

In the meantime, I will comply with your wishes and will cease posting here.

Peace out,
Lewis Armistead

I could care less if you post here or not, I was just wondering what made you change your mind.

I was just having some fun, get over yourself.  Besides, this coming from the man who has a sick obsession with Lowell ever since he posted pics of the Republican girl is crazy.  I am pretty much having fun bc I laughed REALLY HARD when you claimed you were "threatened" on NLS.  Honey, I posted the comment you made on NLS in ref to the "threat" and let me tell you-I have been more threatened by 4 year olds at the park.  So, basically , I am laughing at you, and additionally, I think that picture is hilarious.

And so far, no one has called to harass me at my office.  So, there aren't exactly any damages...are there?

Besides, I'm a defense atty. not a plaintiff's atty.

And you shouldn't kick dogs, even if they are barking.

And no, honey, I don't spend hours smoking bongs or singing kumbaya.  But you sure are stuck on the marijuana refs lately.

Anyway, you bore me.  I'm done for now.

In the words of the late great Waylon Jennings, Hank Sr. couldn't hold a candle to Hank Jr. for the simple reason that Hank Jr. survived his twenties -- and Hank Sr. did not.

Bad analogy here.  I see where you are going but the analogy doesn't work.

I've been a professional musician for over 25 years and I have experienced having people come to the bandstand to thank us for playing Hank Williams music, regardless of genre.

Hank Williams changed American music forever, he is part of the American zeitgeist and will be remembered for centuries. In his brief career he contributed songs that are still recognized by everyone (whether they are a country music fan or not).

"Your Cheatin' Heart"
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
"Move It On Over"
"Kaw-Liga"
"Lovesick Blues"
"Jambalaya (On The Bayou)"
"Long Gone Lonesome Blues"
"Hey, Good Lookin'"

These are all masterpieces of Americana.

What has Jr. done that can compare? "Are You Ready For Some Football"???

Please...

As far as outliving his dad making him better, You must think Kenny G is superior to Yardbird Parker.

I thought good lawyers never asked questions to which they didn't already know the answer.

Hank Jr. has had his own, however.  They include:
"Country Boy Can Survive"
"Whisky Bent and Hell Bound"
"Family Tradition"
"Eleven Roses"
"Country State of Mind"
"The Montana Song"
"Mr. Lincoln"
"The Conversation"
"Man of Steel"

To only name a few.  For many years, he covered his father's songs but as time progressed he developed his own style -- which is primarily a blend of country, rock, and blues.

His shows are amazing...as he plays every instrument there is.

He is an original. And, he has impacted country music in his own way.

Without Sr., you would have never heard of Jr. (or most country music).

Without Jr., Hank Williams' legacy would remain exactly the same.

Jr. is a performer, Sr. is a legend.

What do you have against people having children, by the way?

I guess I don't get it.  Everyone has a father.  And, Hank Jr.'s kids have followed in the family footsteps.  They are all very talented.

What do you have against people having children, by the way?

I obviously have nothing against people having children as I have a son myself.

The point is your fascination with men who would not have gotten where they are if they had not cashed in on their famous and more accomplished fathers names as a commodity.

All three of them (Randall Hank Williams, George Felix Allen, and George Walker Bush) were 'born on third base and think they hit a triple' to quote Ann Richards.

btw... none of them is in reality a Junior since all three of their fathers names were different (Hiram "Hank" Williams, George Herbert Allen , and George Herbert Walker Bush) but I don't see any of them trying to correct that impression.

I don't really give a rat's behind about whether someone has a "Jr.", "II", "III", or "IV" next to their name.  It's just a name.

Everyone rises or falls based on their own capabilities.  To be sure, it didn't hurt any of the above-listed gentlemen that their fathers were well known figures in their own respective fields.  Although, I think that Hank Sr. dying an alcoholic and drug dependent at age 27 was more of hindrance to Hank Jr.

Frankly, I detect a little class envy...or something...because you are the one who has fascination over these "Jr.'s"

And, for the record, I am a "II" and my father is a "Sr."  My son is a "III" and we all share the same middle name.  We all have are own unique identities.

I'll conclude by stating that if you like the music then listen to it.  If not, don't.  If you like the policies, vote for the candidate...if not then don't.

But to knock someone or dismiss them because of their last name is wrong

Both your class envy and last name statements are poor attempts to change the subject. I am named after both of my grandfathers as is my son and 4 generations of my paternal ancestors.

I do not see where you feel that class enters into anything we have discussed (although I find your insertion of the subject into the thread interesting).

Since you insist on trying to change the parameters of this thread I will accept your concession of the point.

Just watch Barney take off when he puts him down, he runs away from bush.  That is why he always carries him.  And remember his fascination with cherry bombing frogs. Many serious criminals start in childhood with helpless animals.  Yep the boy became a man became a boy.

Only a full accounting will save our nation from sliding into the abyss of irrelevancy and joining all the other empires in the dustbin of history.

When Nixon tried to take down the Constitution, he had accomplices.  And lots of them are still lumbering about the halls of power, cutting deals, currying favor. Jerry Ford looked wicked scared the day he told America that The Pardon was necessary.  Pundits said it had to be done to preserve "order". 

Well what did it buy America?  30+ years of scofflaw criminal denial, rehabilitation of the military-industrial cabal, and a festering corruption from K-Street right down to the halls of Congress and over to the EOB. The Washington Triangle - where truth and hope go in...and gets ground to dust by special interests, and well-connected contractors. 

A place where liberty is a commodity for sale to the highest bidder.  A place where an incompetent, wind sock, goof-off (I'm looking at you Mr. George Allen) can scratch up $10,000,000 to run for Federal office.  What kind of idiot would give George Allen that kind of jack? Let me tell you who - someone that is buying influence because they sure aren't buying Jeffersonian statemanship. 

There was even an coup attempt against a sitting president.  Huh?  Yeah, that's right bitch.  His name was William Jefferson Clinton and there are entire villages in Rightwingostan that still scream at his graven image while they flail themselves to a fury, and pass the collection plate.  What in gods-name did Clinton do?  What high crime and misdemeanor?  He got a blowjob in his office and lied about it. 

80% of Americans said, "yeah, that is not nice, now move on".  But wealthy Republicans and their concubine legislators had other ideas - so they spent $85,000,000 taxpayer dollars distracting the government in a failed attempt to thwart the Will Of The People.  Incompetent, Corrupt Fuckers.

Now we have an illegal, unilateral war turned to jihadist civil war quagmire on the most dangerous real estate in the entire world and...we can't have an enquiry to determine how , why and by whom?  Hell, we can't even have a plan to get our sorry-asses out of the quagmire.  That would be "helping  the terra'ists".  Message to Bush, Fisk, and Hastert - they ARE smarter than you and they know how to play you like a cheap harmonica. 

So I don't care if the coming enquiry endangers the national "order".  We are going to get ourselves out of Iraq, we are going to establish a working foreign policy befitting the leader of the free world, and we are damn well going to do it while we keep our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and honor our treaty obligations. 

We will use those same sacred instruments to effect full justice.  It would be best for the guilty to step forward now, because if you have to be dug out of your spider-holes, it won't go well.

George Wythe was a great Virginian, possibly the most noble. He thought Patrick Henry was a hot-head, but eventually even Mr. Wythe stepped up, at the age of 50, and volunteered for service in the Revolution. He left us with our enduring motto:  Sic semper tyrannus..Thus always to tyrants. 

Reckoning day draws near cynical greedheads, demagogues, and mercenary back-room fixers.  I expect the wails, and protestations, threats and treachery to reach a high ebb.  Bring it on. America has seen worse. 

But the shocking  truth is that as certain as Nixon was a wacko crook, he was a liberal compared to the deluded Republican mainstream we have today.  He never would have approved of the sort of invasion into the personal affairs, and moral choices of the citizenry that we are seeing.

His spawn have made unholy alliances.  How else can you explain why Pat Robertson, and Fred Phelps have not been indicted?

The sad thing is that Republicans actually target empty-headed scions do their master's bidding and usually the voting public doesn't know any difference.
