ILx "first mentions"

Imagine Dragons is a four-piece rock band based in Las Vegas, Nevada, that formed in 2008. The group's name is an anagram of "Gonad Migraines," their original name that they regretfully discarded. [1]

Anthony and Steve got it exactly right -- this is a giant boondoggle, designed to funnel federal pork to the Bush Mob's pals in the defense industry. (The same way the whole California energy problem is a giant scam designed to enrich Bush Mob Texas oil cronies). Dick Cheney (don't kid yerselves, he and Poppy Bush are the two really running things they won't let Chimpboy do anything important) is that cynical and the Bush Mob is that greedy and arrogant.
Everything Chimpboy's mis-administration does is so fucking transparent.

See, your collective problem is you lack faith. Trust in DG, he shall steer you onto the path of righteousness. Anyway, this whole board is an attempt to brainwash you all to move to Ilford and vote for ME when I stand as an independent candidate at the next election. The current MP, Mike Gapes, looks like a koala bear and as such I don't trust him.

note to character played by Mr. Ali: if demon baby, who at 6 months can communicate telepathically with your wife, says to move out of your creepy backwoods log cabin, FUCKING DO IT

I was originally going to poll Blatchford vs Kay vs Margaret Wente but Conrad Black stepped up to the plate with this hard-to-get-through advocacy of Jordan Peterson's pointless anti-pronoun crusade (which has obsessed the NP Full Comment section of late) and I had to expand my range.

(first mention of jp there, forgot the bold)

Kinda surprised it was that late. He made his first Joe Rogan appearance in late November 2016. Figured some Canadian ILXors would've been posting about him when he first started stirring up shit. That Rogan episode was his international breakthrough, tho

European Human Rights Law - Keir Starmer. By far the most comprehensive book on human rights around. Way way overdue, and for someone like me, indispensable.

do you use google to search for first mentions, or is there a way to do it using ilx search?

And Buttigieg! What about my man Buttigieg?!

As a political soothsayer I leave very much to be desired but if there's one thing I can truly claim it's that I was early to board the Buttigieg train

Thanking u

That could be any Buttigieg. ASTERISK!

i still believe that jeremy buttigieg will be the biggest buttigieg of them all

I like big Buttigiegs

dubious about the veracity of that claim tbh

This thread is quite the time capsule Your favourite Tory. Glad to see T May was loathed back then too.

for a second i saw that as the first mention being on December 19, 2001, which really would be something

Same! :)

There's a band on that lineup called Ogre You Asshole.

Though Jeane Kirkpatrick and John Bolton were on TV saying, "um no, maybe not..." and, by some accounts, Wolfowitz is clinging onto his job (as is Feith, of course) and refusing to take Chalabi's desperate calls, and Perle is now being treated with frosty reserve by Rice and Rove.
They're not running the show; DoD makes a lot of alarming noise, and its make-up is astonishing for its neo-con and Likudnik bias, but their apotheosis has been. The time for regime change by choice passed in the summer of 03 and they won't get it back.

Not that they don't stop writing and talking and dissembling.

Looks who's here:

how about those sixers? kobe SUCKED last night. what happened to "the greatest player in the world"? looks like mckie slapped some cuffs on him. and iverson, you can't keep the man down. then again, this reminds me a bit of when the "unbeatable" bulls dropped game one to the lakers only to win four in a row.

Wolf Blitzer just asked the Sen. Klobuchar if there were trains on the bridge. He also just asked a witness if he had been walking across the bridge.

Has Blitzer ever seen an interstate bridge?
