In one segment, you pontificate about losing the labels. (And, on the Internet, you are in the distinguished minority that uses the single-o version of "lose" that is considered by elitist, egghead academics to be "correct." The majority are a bunch of loosers! ;) ) A little later you referred to Douglas Feith as a "neo-con." So what is that? WTF?

Loose means not tight or morally easy.

By MichtouJuly 18, 2008 - 1:54pmI know that.
Also, "loose" can be used as a verb meaning "release." The most famous example I can think of is from The Battle Hymn of the Republic "He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword."
Also, the word "looser," the comparative form of the adjective "loose," is a real word, so it is not flagged by spell-checkers. The idiocy and sloth of people that use "looser" when they mean "loser" is that they believe that if their writing passes the spell-check, it must be correct. They could knot bee moor rong*!
* a synonym for rung (of a ladder).

It sounded like you were criticizing them for not using an OO where an O would have been the correct form.
