Hey, wasn't Cheney supposed to resign over the weekend?
There a bunch of "Deep Modem" crap about how s/he predicted Rummy's retirement. Then Gonzo's. And Dick was supposed to be next.

I can't believe an anonymous poster on the internet would lead us astray.

5. It doesn't seem like it was supposed to be the weekend.
Something around two weeks or thereabouts.

I can't see it happening. I would be thrilled if it did, but I can't see it happening. The guys has too much evidence to hide and too many bodies to still bury.

7. TThat wasn't "Deep Modem" posting. It was the lunatic poster, "Glass Ball."
Big difference!

"Mystery Poster" DEEP MODEM Demystified. SOURCE Found at CREW
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1692772

For the uninitiated, "Deep Modem" is a moniker attached to a series of posts on TPM.
When you post comments on TPM without using the name filed, you too become a "mystery poster."
I know, because I post on TPM that way, as do lots of people. Some are confused with DM, including mine.

The blogosphere gave the TPM posts a lot of attention in late July/early August, and
the name "Deep Modem" came into usage to identify the mysterious anonymous poster.

Researching "Deep Modem" keywords led to the Mother Lode of original posts on the CREW website.
I suspect that someone was pasting from CREW to TPM, and there the posts took on a mysterious air because the context was lost.
The posts in the original context on CREW are opinions and suggestions directed at the CREW legal staff.

So, "Deep Modem" is probably just someone pasting stuff from one domain to another, and sowing confusion in the process.
Or, there could be someone like a ratf**ker at work, a dirty trickster doing their lowly job for high pay!

8. I knew I screwed that up after I posted it.
It's hard to keep all of these anonymous people straight!

9. Not to mention their future prognostications. It's the Dark Ages all over again!
What did Nostradamus say about Cheney, anyway? :rofl: That he will run in 2008, wasn't it?
