Lock-step? Um, no.

You know, I keep seeing folks on the Right talking about folks on the Left being in lock-step with Obama just like they always were for Bush and Cheney and whomever else was in favor at any given time. "You people all think he's the Messiah!" they say. "You all parrot whatever message the Left-Wing Mainstream (wait, what?) Media tells you to say!"

One of the best Venn Diagrams I've seen was one which looked like this only, you know, circles:

((People who call Obama "The Messiah")) ((People who voted for Obama))

You'll note that the circles do NOT intersect.

Anyhow, from Crooks and Liars:

Are the Obama people really that dumb? They were "surprised," "caught off guard" by the massive dirtstorm unleashed on healthcare reform?

These are the geniuses of 11-dimensional chess? Puhleeze. I think they've started to believe their own press. Obama the Healer, Obama the Post-Racial Lincoln. What a bunch of damned dopes.

Yeah, we Lefties are sure a bunch of lock-step "Yes" men, aren't we?

Gov't vs Sports

You know, it really is infuriating how our federal legislature is spending more time getting to the bottom of doping in sports than it is getting to the bottom of corruption in the Executive branch.

Also, I've noticed that a lot of the blogs/sites/diaries/whatevers I read don't so much provide a lot of content as they do commentary ON content. I was thinking about what a pain it seems to be to make posts which are long enough to bother with when I realized that 3/4 of what's on OTHER people's pages is a bunch of C&P with commentary inserted. So now when something in an article racks me off, maybe I'll just C&P it into Wordpad, insert my pithy witticisms, and pretend I'm a professional blargher too.
