I said “we” not “I”.

Or are you being deliberately stroppy because I farted in “your” [del]love fest[/del] pit thread?

I know html and have built many many many web sites (the first one back in 1996), usually only using Notebook, so that snark isn’t going to hurt my feelings.

Yeah, I like Jim Cornette’s Rant. So do others (check the Comments on the YouTube). Yeah, I’m disappointed that the YouTube didn’t go viral, but mainly because I wanted to see Jim Cornette being booked on shows as a guest commentator. Most of “our” guests are wimpy dicks who don’t want to say anything controversial because then they wouldn’t get asked back. This guy, he doesn’t care. He’s got more balls and intelligence than ALL the right-wing pundits and half of the left-wing pundits put together.

But he’s not a politician or a political pundit, he’s “just” a wrestling manager, so no one’s interested in booking him. It’s a damned shame.

The rant was all right. Not any better than the typical liberal rant, possibly slightly more amusing mainly due to its, err, colorful language. But “Joey Styles can blow me” is hilarious.

Actually, you can’t anymore. Geocities is shutting down. End of an era; a sad, ugly, animated-gif, midi file, sparkly background, annoying ad filled era.

Just noting that Cornette went on a new rant that is almost equally awesome.

Both of those rants are pretty great. Though, since I’m a lib I have to say that.
