What 's with the best political writer in the world (IMHO): Chris Floyd?
He writes for the Moscow Times and his relatively new blog, Empire Burlesque. His writing is so good it makes my teeth hurt. Is he American? Where does he live. Or is he, Chris Floyd, a she? Inquiring minds, etc. Here is a link to his graphic video (ULTRA GRAPHIC WARNING!!!), from another GD post:

Chris Floyd has nailed Bu$h. The latest is almost too much to take. In fact, the Flannery O'Conner story title (and Biblical origin) come to mind: The Violent Bear It Away.

Peace

1. one of the DU'ers here is Floyd's
webmaster, and based on my past conversations with this person I would say that Chris is a he and lives over around the UK area.

Yes his site is killer notice one of the links in my sig line.

2. Jeeze-O-Man! To think that Chris Floyd might pick up ideas here!

Can you name that DUer? Probably not. But if you can communicate with that DUer, please pass on my appreciation and admiration and respect (etc) to Chris Floyd, and to the DUer for the excellent work on the website. Hot-Damn! I needed some good news tonight. Also, am I correct in assuming that Chris is a guy?

Peace,
Mac

Edit: Sorry, you already answered the gender question.

And today the military said,
nothing wrong was done in this raid. Said it was all staged by insurgents. BULLSHIT!! We need independant investigations.

8. It did seem to be him, but perhaps it was a troll

9. No it was him
see reply #16 in that thread that you linked, Dutchdemocrat is his webmaster and the person named in #16 is the same person. I know this because DD and I have PM'd each other from time to time, and DD has signed his messages with that person's name that is stated in post#16 - it is funny to see who chrisfloyd is replying to.

10. Yes, that exchange was one of the reasons why I believed it was him
so the TS makes no sense to me at all.

7. Hot-Damn! I knew he had deep-South USA in him.
I could smell it. Flannery, Eudora, Walker, William, Robert Penn and that whole wonderful lot are now channeling through Chris Floyd. Mr. Floyd, if you are reading this, you not only have extraordinary talent .. you have guts.

Peace,
Mac
