is totally available.
will get in on the 16th.
+1.
Get a life, Michael.
Jeeze, harassment is written into the job description, as it is, also, for permanent editors (also for responders). Nothing creepy about that.
He manages to harrass both of us at the same time.
is the uncanny ability to alienate himself from every decent, rational human being he’s ever come in contact with.
In the name of supporting “crossover” perspectives, I’d like to see Pita/Ellie and Craig nominated. (If they’ll serve.)
those nominations.
add in Go Raiders* and maybe he’ll come back and serve…
Of course Ralphie may have to buy me a cup of coffee every now and then for any snarks. 🙂
About damn time you finally caved in to our consistent pressure to run! (Make Ralphie buy you dinner; coffee isn’t enough for this gig.)
Pita can handle Ralphie. He actually can be lovable when he tries.
He’s been wonderful to me, in ways that I’m not interested in sharing on a public blog with total strangers but both he and his wife have been very good to me and they both have a very special place in my heart. Not to get sappy and totally embarrass him.
I just think Pita should know that being an FPE deserves a free lunch now and again considering the amount of shit you get for the job. I liked it when I did it and loved being able to write about issues that mattered to me. I think Pita will be awesome at it.
With the crazy political year ahead of us, I can’t think of anybody better.
That said, I know where she lives.
Nice subtle threat, gertie. I like your style. 🙂
I disagree with virtually everything he writes, and he needs to turn on his spell-checker so that he can learn how to spell “Democratic,” but I like the idea of some diversity of thought.
And if ArapaGOP is too, um, high-risk to entrust with such a task, perhaps another more responsible conservative voice could be found.
I thought about doing the traditional left vs. right editorship, but with so few registered Republican voices hanging around I went with nominating people who have been around the Colorado Republican Party and would promote a diverse set of opinions to the front page. (And who might still have enough contact with individuals in the GOP to write some diaries in that direction on their own.)
I would also nominate MAH if he was interested, but I believe he turned down the offer last time and is still involved with his film project.
but that doesn’t come with AGOP.
I’ll vote again for PCG if she chooses to be in it.
We don’t need AGOP, Mark G, BJ or Libertad to be FPEs
both are excellent IMHO.
Sorry, ArapaGOP. Go back to pining for Tancredo.
Both can handle the heat that comes with being FPEs’, both have good political insight, both have written some fine diaries (Daft has written some downright brilliant diaries and comments on healthcare reform) and both, particularly Car, have been around this joint for ages.
I think I would serve if elected, so consider me a candidate!
There may be more worthy alternatives, and I might not even vote for myself, but it’s been demonstrated that the job isn’t too much work to be a burden, so count me in.
I wouldn’t have to be nice to everyone because I was somehow representing the “management”?
If you suddenly became all sweetness and light, I’d have to kill you.
In my line of work you always have to wonder who’s lurking behind the next bush.
[begins slow clap]
Is that a gynecology joke?
I’m honored.
You’re the first person to nominate me for FPE, even though I’ve been around a long time. There aren’t that many of us oldtimers who have posted here since COPols began. I do love it here, watching the community grow and change over time.
I don’t contribute much because of my job, my schedule and my family. Besides, I’m generally an argumentative pain in the ass when I do post (which may have something to do with not getting nominated – ya think?).
The next five months are going to be busier than ever for me, but if those more deserving than me choose me instead, I would serve. I promise to be snarky, irreverant, and provide insider insight to those lucky enough to be outside the capitol.
If that isn’t your particular brand of vodka, vote for someone else.
With all that said, you, MOR, just became my favorite Polster – inching ahead of Jambalaya, and Lauren Bacall.
Now, that is an honor. Lauren was in a class all of her own.
I miss her and Jamba, too.
to serve? Think she’d come out of retirement then?
Anything to get her ass back here.
We’re missing some really good folks around here that I would love to see return to our beloved fold. (My comment sounds sort of creepy in a cult sort of way, doesn’t it?)
Two posters who often have very different perspectives from my own, but who have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and from whom I think we could learn a great deal.
I also second the nomination of Go Raiders* if anyone can find him and convince him he wants to spend that much time here.
Neither am I.
Now I’m in for it. ~flees~
And there’s the human being who writes his posts.
Neither one of us want the job.
…Or you’re busy enough with your own blog.
It’s hard to write something every day, even drivel.
Because Mark G isn’t around anymore.
If elected I would serve.
A conservative voice on the front page of this blog would be excellent for traffic.
I think PC did a great job and should stick around, and I enjoy reading John’s diaries. A little wordy sometimes, but well thought out.
There are a lot of good suggestions here. But I believe that we would see diaries regularly from those two if they were FPEs.
actually write diaries? The last batch (and a few others before them) has, quite frankly, been terrible about putting up their own content.
writing a lot of his/her own diaries was David, and we all know how that turned out.
Certainly not asking for David. Just asking for someone who will write original content once in a while. And I’m not talking about 50-word promotion explanations.
And you’re flat out wrong about FPEs other than David writing their own diaries fairly often. There have been several who wrote actual meaningful diaries on a fairly regular basis.
throws down the gauntlet. Is it up to the task?
I nominate Libertad 2.0 in hopes it gets Libertad’s vote in a fit of confusion and we hear about the poor guy’s attempts to take back his vote for days.
is not suited for FPE. But if elected, I would serve. I’ll have to ask the Libertad-Creator to re-write some code.
I’m just talking about what I remember. Every word I write is extremely carefully chosen.
Pretty sure Club Twitty must have written a lot of diaries, but I don’t remember who else did.
I think the promotion aspect of the job is more important anyway. A good diary involves a lot of research, maybe some investigation, phone calls or emails, etc. It’s unrealistic to expect that more than once a week or even less, since even full-time journalists aren’t expected to have an original story every day. The current setup invites people to do a great diary once every few weeks without worrying about wasting effort on something nobody will read, since we have people to read through them all and promote the ones that aren’t junk.
Prolific writing without careful research has usually turned out to be either “Hey look what I read, let me quote the whole fucking thing and after every other paragraph I’ll summarize the main point because you’re an idiot!” or “Hey guys I figured out how to solve global warming, we’ll just program a computer to invent a perpetual motion machine and do cold fusion with a 3D printer!”
I’m happy enough not to have that stuff cluttering up the blog, especially since I come here mostly for the comments anyway.
RSB was, too. Original content, even relevant! I’d nominate him, but I think he probably isn’t allowed to serve.
Well, I’m doing it anyway. RSB4EVAH!
Sorry, I have enough Sarah Palins in my life right now.
I meant to tell you that I made a sweater set for 152 a really long time ago. But I didn’t mail it for so long that he wouldn’t have fit in it.
Random memory…
so if it doesn’t have something like “I’m totally a dude, let me look at your boobies” plastered all over it, a use could still be found for it…
Thanks for thinking of him and making something, that’s really cool.
but if your friend is cool with that, it’s fine. I’ll send it to the address you sent me and you can do what you want from there. It all came out too cute to not be used!
who would be appalled that baby stuff is color-coded at all, so it’s cool. 🙂
I got yelled at in downtown Boulder by a mom for assuming her baby dressed completely in blue was a boy.
Sorry, I have enough Sarah Palins in my life right now.
The best FPEs in an long, long time.
I nominate both of them even if they can’t serve. The importance of the FPE trumps all and if the job, family and sanity suffer, so be it.
It is for the good of the whole.
RSB was, too. Original content, even relevant! I’d nominate him, but I think he probably isn’t allowed to serve.
Well, I’m doing it anyway. RSB4EVAH!
Two, but not at the exact same time.
for FPEs to write diaries. (Before users could write diaries, it was the primary requirement – oh how I remember…)
It would be nice to have someone who could contribute their own diaries more frequently, but with the current diary flow from users, it’s less important than it used to be.
