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.

Ed Whelan: Today's Scum of the Earth

Another right wing American, proving ethics are a optional thing for them...

Poor Mr. Whelan (of NRO fame), thin skinned as many conservatives are, exposed the identity of a blogger in revenge for a post critiquing him...

Why not just have a tantrum on the lawn like normal children do?

Read more here, and do have a look at It's irresponsible to criticize Ed Whelan by the lovely Majikthise, who's real name I will not reveal, as I can't tell if she's a poor satirist or just as crazy as Mr. Whelan.
