Have you ever googled your DU screen name?
Well I did and this is one of the hits that showed up:

http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=351388&page=0

"It is VERY scary to me that the Dems are like a herd of sheep...They will follow Kerry over a cliff into disaster."

This is a post from some message board by a right winger. Can you believe this was posted? This is exactly what they are doing with Bush!

2. Yes, but since I ripped off an old work of Plato
it's way too common.

I also found out, much to my distress, that some Freeper is using it over on FR...almost enough to make me change it...but darn it I don't like to give in or give them the satisfaction.

But for the record...I am not that guy...and he is not me. I won't even let a FR cookie touch my machine.

6. yes, and usually get any article here that I posted to that was on
the front page. Probably an artifact of the way google's web crawlers work etc.

8. Yeah, but
the most interesting appearance is the one I cribbed my name from: the Pulse interview with Frank Zappa, in the last year of his life. My nickname was the name he and his daughter Diva called their new kitten, and I gave that name to my cat, and then I took it on when I started posting to DU. It was neither a witty nor descriptive choice, and I regret it now (although obviously not enough to use the recent name-change option).

There are a bunch of Squeeches out there now, denizens of various discussion boards, mostly on music, or the apparatus used to play it.

The Squeech that comments very occasionally on such blogs as Kevin Drum's or Teresa Neilsen Hayden's is me, however.

11. Yes I have.
I was being ridiculed by the Nazi's at Little Green Footballs for my theory that Bush and company were behind the anthrax attacks.
