Daily UP Digest for 2-27-07

Well at 11am Eastern time, it's turning out to be a very interesting day on UP.

We have Adelaide trying to prove (unseccessfully) for about the 800th time how France won America's independance. Not that it matters, or that anyone cares at this point. But there are still a few people kind enough to try and nominate Addy for a pwning of the week.

Dick Cheney was in Afghanistan today, where he apparantly felt like getting bombed, and I don't mean getting coked out of his mind at one of G-dubbs frat reunion parties. He was apparantly the target of a Taliban bomb attack at a US military base. Unfortunately, the Veep wasn't harmed, but this should be a huge talker for the day.

Also, BIDBP, somehow managed to earn a 'delete all/ban' for something he "said". Among argueing about it, GKIII also earned a day pass to 'Happy ban land'. So this is basically your warning. There is a Mod out there who is extrememly pissy today, so watch your mouth.

On a sad note, it seems one of the better posters will be taking a leave from us. Aeros, a member of the American military, has received orders that he will be deployed to Baghdad in the upcoming weeks, and may not be able to post for a while. While we all may not have agreed with opinions, I for one, appreciated his style, and his class. He was more articulate than most posters, and tried to use more self-written pieces than parrotting news articles. I liked that. I, and many posters have already wished him the best of luck in his tour in Iraq. May he return safely.

More to come as stories develop.

This will be updated as I see important things to talk about rather than random drivel, and topics that are thrown up specifically designed to troll. (TC's topics)

Along with the poster who posted it, and such... Comments will be taken here, and of course, not be deleted 'Nazi Mod' style.

I hope everyone enjoys this.
