One Thing Leads To Another

Not much time for blogging today, got a spec to finish. And specs are my favoritest thing in the world.

First off, a couple of very cheery links to articles showing that the people running our country apparently are so amoral, pathological, and misanthropic that they believe that torture of the mentally incompetent and threatening little kids to coerce their parents are acceptable means to political ends. Pathetic. Sickening. And not entirely unexpected, is it?

Second: Jonah Goldberg, the Journal-Sentinel's latest gobbling rightwing shill added to an already right swerving vehicle, manages to be so spectacularly clueless that he rivals my former Blood Pressure Warning Agent, Cal Thomas, for making it dangerous to read the damn paper. In a recent article, that I suppose is published in the Urinal since J-G is syndicated thanks to his mother, he strives to... well, it seems like he's trying to make a point that Bush deserves cuddles from the Left for not kicking the leaders of European nations on his current tour. Or something like that: it's all wrapped up in weird ideas about Woodrow Wilson and bizarre paragraph structure.

Anyway, Doghouse Riley takes Jonesy to school much better than I can, and the learning is hard. Very Hard. Go read, and hope that Jonah, who has shown marked lack of educational capacity over at Clownhall, takes anything away, or whether we just have to do it all again next week. And by 'We' I mean liberal bloggers who are much better and dedicated than I am.

Speaking of swerving Right, driftglass takes us on that journey, and demonstrates its eventual destination, in a Pythonesque way. With a bit of Douglas Adams.

Here's a quick bit of entertainment: Look at the statements, and decide which ones were said by Ann Coulter, and which by Adolf Hitler. I got twelve right. If they had done Joe McCarthy, it would have been impossible.


Fiinally, I've got the FestBlog 1.0 off the table and out into the Interwebs. I'll keep working on it, but most of the functional parts are there. Basically, It looks pretty, but there are parts that haven't been fully fleshed out. As Joe Bob would say, Check it out.
