Firedoglake and DailyKos have worked tirelessly in support of Ned Lamont, and evidence of their success is everywhere. Barring a miracle or, say, an assist from Diebold, Lieberman looks doomed in the primary.
Much as kos, Jane, Christy, and friends like to argue that this has much more to do with local CT [...]

Today, Ezra Klein brings us a brilliant quote from Lee Siegel:
No wonder, several years after the blogosphere allegedly became a people powerhouse, the country is mired even deeper in Iraq and successfully distracted by one false public alarm after another.
Unfortunately, Ezra refuses to take the blog-o-blame for all of this country’s ills, and Iraq in [...]

Chris Muir writes a tedious, ho-hum right wing cartoon called day by day. I’m sure you’ve heard of it.
Hopefully, you also heard about his stunning foray into philosophy, wherein he purports to understand, of all things, Immanuel Kant, the father of the categorical imperative.
Here are his 3 achievements:

I have a Philosophy BA, [...]

“Anti-Semite” is more polite, perhaps? I dunno, both are so offensive that I feel like if you’re gonna reach for the latter, kick it up an extra few notches and reach for the “H” word instead. We know you’re thinking it, anyway.
We just touched on Howard Dean’s brilliant commentary, but I’d like to [...]

PMI brings us this clip posted on CNN.com last night:
Many writers saw a sexist aspect to Bush’s back rub. “This isn’t a Sigma Chi kegger, it’s the G-8 Summit,” wrote blogger Christy Hardin Smith on Firedoglake.com.
(Bush was actually in Delta Kappa Epsilon. Another Web 2.0 truism: Blogs are not always friendly [...]

Yesterday, Bitch|Lab and friends opened up a discussion about mean ol’ R Mildred and how rock-’em-sock-’em she is. The post itself is largely irrelevent; B|L’s initial “confusion” quickly devolves into commenters piling on my favorite rantress, including B|L herself.
After I point out that R Mildred argues for examination and critique of pretty much everything, [...]

Oh, the Right. They’ll kill any old thing for patriotism. They’ll even kill off the majority of one of this country’s most revered institutions, the Supreme Court, in the name of, um, freedom.
Hopefully by now you’ve read Glenn Greenwald’s enjoyable critique of wingnut-in-underoos Emperor Darth Misha’s call for an old-fashioned lynching in [...]

Once upon a time, there lived a timid, scatterbrained propagandist named Screech. All day Screech scrawled on the walls of his Creamy Palace, eating paste and complaining of his life as a “hausfrau,” which is pixie-speak for “intellectual failure.”
One day, a big, bad wolf from Southpaw came to Screech’s Palace dressed as a teacher [...]

To sniff out the mood of the country, wingnut pundits have jammed their noses in their own armpits and taken a huge whiff. Unfortunately, all they smell is the odor of imminent defeat, which is even grodier than their normal stink. The stench has either made them crazy or scared. Either way, [...]

-President Bush tongue-kissed Cheney’s secret gay lover in Prince’s hot tub!
-Rummy caught smuggling blow to his army of mole-men under the Pentagon!
-Michelle Malkin’s got a raging hard-on for Auguste!
Man, being on the left is FUN. According to intellectually dishonest dingleberries, it’s where we get to make up scandals all the time without any corroboration [...]

Best poem I’ve read in months (initially because of this) is The Love Song of J. Edgar Goldstein:
Let us go then, you and I,
Where my leer is sprawled out upon the thigh
Of the lefty chick that waits upon my table;
Let me binge, in certain half-deserted streets,
With friends with pointed sheets
Through restless nights in Internet tirades
And [...]

Okay, the TownhallHouse thing is just refusing to be uninteresting.
You may have heard that the latest problem with TNR is that they printed a “fake” quote from Steve Gilliard that is supposedly from the TownHouse circle-jerk-illuminati message board.
Of course what is interesting about this quote was that Gilliard admits that he did say something similar [...]
