*dead - my dupe has a couple of alternative backups.

'Tis sadly true, EDB, the available fare on broadcast television in the U.S. is more painful than the menu at a retirement home whose occupants have not either dentures nor much of an appetite!

Thanks for the pro mote, Mr Monkey Monk.

Tis appreciated.

no prob meatbag. tis a sweet tune.

9) Bush would be blamed by the leftmedia for the exact same thing if he was President. Why not? He was blamed for 4 years of Obama failure!
8 ) Dr. Seuss was pretty upfront about The Lorax being propaganda.
7) Apparently a true story.
6) It's one guy's opinion on a discussion panel, and he's 100% correct about the State-run media taking Fluke's side without question.
5) As good a figure as any, when even the communist NYT claims in 2009 "U.S. Unemployment Rate Hits 10.2%, Highest in 26 Years" http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/07/business/economy/07jobs.html?_r=0 Plus it's common knowledge the government falsifies these numbers.
4) I don't care.
3) Odd. Usually the libmedia are chastising the military. But if the "64% increase" is true, tis true.
2) Geraldo is a liberal. As dumb as he is, at least he's allowed to be on FOX...there is no comparable 'token' in the libmedia.
1) Huckabee's doing his thing. So what?

When the left creates a SINGLE news outlet anywhere that doesn't work hand-in-glove for the taxocrat party, THEN they can compare biases. Until then, they're traitors to the American people who refused to vet King Obama and have never reported anything that put him in a negative light. They're no better than soviet-era State-run propagandists and come revolution, they are hopefully the first to go. Thank you and good night.

Indeed! Tis an amazing first video and welcome to the Sift!

You are getting the full Sift treatment, though, my friend.

Keep sifting, mate. Next time we'll get you sifted?

@Deano...

Max power points were limited to the number of years you were on the Sift, with Sift 5.

So the max power points anyone could have was 6, since the Sift has been around for only 6 years. So if you already had 6 PPs, if you hit #1 to earn 2 PPs, you got nothing.

I could have lived with that.

But the serious problem, in my eyes, was what happened to newbies. Unless they paid to be charter, they would have to be on the Sift for more than 1 year, 364 days before they would be able to "earn" 2 PPs.

So someone like Punkin, who comes in here with videos ablazing, figuring out the Sift in no time flat, would not be able to have the success she has had. Can never promote her own stuff, doesn't "earn" her rewards which she has been generously sharing (not trading, but sharing).... someone like Punkin would never happen again on the Sift under these limitations. I think the Sift would be a less rich place for her absence, and others like her.

So that is the stripped down backstory. With my opinion slathered all over it. Tis best if you can be careful to separate the bare bones of the situation from my editorial content. All opinions are just mine, after all.

I had thought if they wanted to limit PPs, to avoid hoarding, they should have had everyone be limited to six PPs. That is enough to have time to spend some before the next ones are earned. Then you have a level playing field that doesn't reward seniority at the cost of stellar Sifting.

And then each year, it would go up one PP. As a Sift birthday present to everyone.

But they went with just going back to the old system, with its old pitfalls still in place. That is fine, too. In my opinion.
