Okay! I'll confess! Just give me the papers to sign! Please make it stop!
I must be well into my fourth day of sensory deprivation because I've seemingly passed the hallucination stage, blew right past the psychotic stage of the second day and have been transported a place where newspaper taxis appear on the shore, waiting to take me away.
For example, I don't think that I could have ever - in a million, zillion years - made up both the post and especially the comments over at the BreakingWindOfChange. First off, the moniker "Armed Liberal" has always made me snort milk through my nose everytime I actually see it in black and white. And following the joker for the past 5 years or so (seems like an eternity, believe me) I have to say that he really gets better and better at his gig the longer he's at it. One of the commenters there does us all a favor and nicely sums up the ArmedLiberal (snort!) for anyone who's coming to this party late and is wondering what all the laughing is about. There's more, of course, but those comments aren't the hillarious ones. The hillarious ones are from the AL himself (sorry, I am drinking a Sierra Mist and the carbonated water hurts my nose). My favorite is
Steve - really? You don't think Althouse or Reynolds talk to an audience that could vote for Obama? I certainly think they do, and that reaching that audience ought to be a really damn high priority for the party.
Again, I'm snorting up my Sierra Mist. I simply love how the only way that liberals can survive is if they somehow find someway to pander to people who literally would gnaw off their own arm before voting for them. Brilliant!
But really, what could possibly compare to the triple threat posed by the McMegan/Althouse/Drum trinity? McMegan and Althouse were both expertly skewered in the piece by Roy (the man!) and naturally their feelings were very hurt. All this is to be expected, naturally, by a piece of sardonic wit. But then Kevin Drum, our favorite slightly left of center liberal, demonstrates the keen insight and tenacious capacity to dig into the heart of an issue which led to his support of the Iraq war, has to pile on in a more utterly clueless fashion than usual, apparently buying McMegan's whiny post about sexism in the blogosphere as the god's honest truth. As Roy points out in his live blogging of the reaction to the VV piece, McMegan's follow up is simply priceless
McUpdate: "Yes, I know the many uses of the phrase 'lipstick lesbian'; indeed, I count several as friends and loved ones." Yet in my mouth it's a horrible slur. Either I poison everything I touch -- the theory endorsed by my family and ex-girlfriends -- or victim status is the new Gold Standard.
And that's what I think has finally convinced me that I must be on my fourth day of sleep deprivation: Teh Victim Status.
I mean, really. This is the Village Voice. McMegan can ho-hum Torture memos coming from the very heart of this government, but my lord! A frank look in the mirror provided by Roy in the Village Voice! Bring the ambulance. And to have Kevin Drum fall hook line and sinker for her drivel is simply bliss beyond compare.
One of the most inexplicable tropes of the liberal blogosphere is its howling disdain for Megan. I guess it all goes back to the moronic "two-by-four" controversy, but it really ought to stop. She writes a perfectly sane, opinionated, moderately libertarian, occasionally obsessive, sometimes provocative blog. I don't often agree with her, and at times I find her maddeningly obtuse, but I'm sure she feels the same about me. In other words, she's a totally normal blogger. Michelle Malkin she ain't.
Totally normal, dude. And people wonder why mentally deficient urchins like David Brooks rise to the top in Drum's world.
Okay, back to my regularly scheduled psychosis. Just had to share this gem with y'all in case you were encased in concrete, living in total sensory deprivation like I am.
