Margaret Wente: Idiot of the Day

Check your clock hun, it's stuck on 1950.

Another clueless article by a so called "journalist"...

People often ask me why I don't start a blog. After all, it seems almost everyone else has. Thousands of new blogs spring up in cyberspace every day. All the mainstream media have added bloggers to their websites. Andrew Sullivan's blog, The Daily Dish, can get 20 million hits a month, and has made him one of the most popular opinion-mongers in the world.
