At AboveTopSecret, we always strive to deny ignorance, and toward that end, should also make the phrase "fair and balanced" really mean something. The mud pit has become an engaging aspect of AboveTopSecret. As our increasingly divided world becomes more and more political, it's important that the "sides" have a way to debate and engage in communications. Here at ATS, we don't expect to solve the worlds problems, but we can at least be fair and balanced with it comes to political debate.I'm pleased to announce a new moderation Strategy for the mud pit. The Colonel will be joining the ranks of ATS staff, and together with Thomas Crowne, will be the balanced duo to oversee this increasingly important forum. I now return you to your normally scheduled flinging of mud.

What a super tag team, both on the side of righteous mudslinging.

That official soundin' stuff is just so you!

I want the Michael Buffer role:

"In this corner, wearing the Stars & bars, & weighing in equivalent to 90 Bibles, the Champion of Dogma, the Preacher of the Word & Trickle Down Economics....THOOOOMAAAASS CROWNE!"

"And in this corner wearing the Black/Red & Green trunks, & weighing in equivalent to the total Afro weight on the set of Cleopatra Jones, the Champion of the Common Man, The Screamer of the Truth and the Creator of the Repugnant Byotch Slap.....The COOOOLOOONELLLLLLL!"

Congratulations Colonel.

And what BT said was simply hilarious! Nicely said...

thats because he is now part of "the man" and this is new for him. he can no longer accuse the staff of conspiring against him to silence his "message"....

looks like william did us more of a favor by taking away some more of colonels thunder.

thanks william! one less thing for him to cry about.

Erased my post... do to the fact that my bad day had carried over to the forum.
