They would be the same "WASTE guys" who publish the
warmongering, ad hominem posts from T, RJ, and fq, I'm
guessing. 

But, hey, if the "WASTE guys" want to get into the
P-list moderation BUSINESS, they could start with T's
inimitable -- if not always intelligible -- diatribes,
move on to RJ's, cut a wide swath through fq's, and so
on.  As you know I'm an advocate of a moderated
Pynchon-L, so, please, in the words of your darling
Bush the Butcher, "Bring it on!"

Meanwhile, back at the (Crawford/crawfish) ranch:

Neocon quiz
Are you a neoconservative? Take this quiz to find out.

....And, congratulations, it looks as if T and RJ have
hit the jackpot.
