Quote of the Day

From County Fair:

Media Matters' Jeremy Holden ably tore apart Glenn Beck's latest mash-up of pop culture and paranoid conspiracism, wherein the Fox News host bemoaned the evolution of the bumbling sitcom father and linked Homer Simpson to the Weather Underground and President Obama's secret plans for communist world domination. Before I continue, reread that sentence and appreciate the fact that I didn't have to embellish at all for comic or dramatic effect.

-- Simon Maloy

I call a spade a spade, it just is what it is

"Washington Post's Dave Weigel Resigns After Mocking Conservatives."

Sounds to me that he ending up losing his job because he didn't bother to lie about the obvious faults and excesses of the current conservative movement.

TheRoot.com

The Root produces some mighty embarrassing "content" for an online magazine started by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. While that is unexpected, it's entirely appropriate for someone like John McWhorter to find an idea that stupid worth stealing.

Ain't that a B.

It's not 2010 everywhere, it would seem.

If you look straight in my eyes, you still might see a disguise

I try to keep the subjects I talk about on this blog appropriate for public browsing. By that, I mean I don't talk about myself much: what I'm doing, where I work, the personal things I might discuss with a friend. I tend to limit the subjects I bring up here to things I feel comfortable talking about with strangers.

That being said, I'm going to reveal that I always loved reading Ann Landers or Dear Abbey, mostly because people write to them with problems like this one.

I'm bored, and the Internet isn't helping.

What's entertaining you these days?

Paper Thin

Larry Elder fails miserably at trying to call out Paul Krugman for hypocrisy. How can you write a whole column on budget deficit hypocrisy and not consider that Krugman may not approve of deficits accrued to bomb countries that don't have WMDs and cut taxes mostly on the rich, and yet think it's necessary to have a short term deficit to prop up a failing economy in extraordinary bad times?

Worse yet is the sly attribution of the two wars Obama inherited to "Obama's deficit" rather than "Bush's deficit."

What we learn here is that Elder is aware of the concept of hypocrisy but doesn't seem to know it when he sees it.

If you don't know by now, I'm talkin 'bout Chi-Town

I just realized today is my tenth anniversary in Chicago.

The funny thing is, I still don't feel like a resident.
