A day after we posted a link to the blog on local call-in shows, the thing vanished.

When we heard there was a guy on the interweb who claimed to be monitoring open line around the clock, we scooped him up and made him an Assistant Deputy Minister.
Pity. I think that kind of blog, keeping track of what people are saying on Open Line shows and, well, mocking them for it is a highly necessary service.
After a while, Craig, it's easy to become accustomed to the things that are said no matter how outrageous.
It's also easy to forget what was said even a few months ago. One of the most popular posts here was my one documenting every twist and turn in the Equalization positions. It's only once you go through them sequentially you start to see the pattern.
It's also useful to read some of the comments made on websites, especially the National Post and the Globe, by people from NL telling their version of things. They make all sorts of ludicrous claims. Around here we have become a bit used to seeing them and hearing them. The mainlanders must get quite the shock to see some of the nuttiness.
Sometimes they get offended as well they should, as well should Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. The old NL-expat got told off the other day at the Post, and rightly so, for his views on the S-92 crash. It will be fun if he runs again just as it will be funny to watch Jack Layton scurrying away should his former candidate in St. John's South take another go at things. It will be hard to deny his comments in the Post the other day..

DEPUTY, actually.
It was good while it lasted. I imagine the author came under some pressure from her employer, who, in turn, probably got some flak from the station.
I can commiserate. Freedom has taken a beating of late in this province.
Craig.

Geezm b'y Craig, we all mock the yak radio lot.
This one just had the added benefit of transcripts.

What is this "freedom" of which you speak?
Before signing off did the blogger say "Good nite and God Bless"
Nope, Anonymous.
Not "Good night Mrs. Kalabash wherever you are."
No ear tug.
Not even a God Guard thee, Newfoundland and Labrador.
Well, yes, the transcripts are what's really needed. I think if people were reading what was being said, it would actually make a difference.
Ah well, once I win the millions, I'll hire someone to do transcripts and post them online.
I will transcribe them for a pack of smokes and a quart of Lambs.

Funny, I thought it was Craig Westcott, Steve Harper's man, that took the beating in this province.
