Article comments

I'm going to add a couple more under Music but I have to play chauffeur now.
2 - DrPat
Driving Lisa I, Temple? [grin]
Maybe we should ask Eric Berlin and Dave Nalle to each propose a post from Politics for the week...
3 - Temple Stark
I forgot to add my Kayne West pick, I just realized.
No driving. That's SOP. One editor for consistency's sake. Being away happens.
4 - Temple Stark
kanye .. my fingers are tired. sheesh.
5 - LegendaryMonkey
You should go to bed earlier, my dear Mr. Stark.
6 - Temple Stark
If I crash the car, I'll think about it :-)
Otherwise typos I can live with. Obviously or I'd be dead.
7 - Matt Mrozinski
Thanks for recognizing my post as an Editors pick of the week. I've had enough of these articles written without a honest and fair review. If an Album is bad, its bad for a reason. You have to judge it on those reasons, as well as presenting the positive. You shouldn't judge a piece of work on your biased opinions. That's tabloid journalism and it's not beneficial to society.
8 - Kanye West
"Now all I need is y’all to pronounce my name. Its Kanye - But some of my plaques - they still say Kayne."
9 - Eric Berlin
Thanks for stopping by, Kanye.
10 - Temple Stark
Comments 7 and 8 were Matt M. Lil' scamp.
11 - Matt Mrozinski
What are you trying to say Temple? What are you implying, my dear man?
hehe, Thanks for the Pick.
-Just say no to Critic Crap
12 - Scott C. Smith
What a great surprise to be selected as an editor's pick! Now that I've gotten the serious writing out of the way, it's time for reviews of pornography! Yee haw!
Just kidding, about the pornography. Or was I?

If there was a synergy here between these two following comments, I missed it until just now :::

If there wasn't - all the more hilarious.

Thanks. I needed that.
Also surprised anyone else likes Fenimore Cooper. I thought I was alone.
15 - Deano
Thanks for the pick Pat! By way of your comment on links - I include multiple links to related topics and websites in all of my book reviews (hence, the name of my site - BookLinker).
Nice to know somebody enjoys them!
