Sunday Stuff

The Left is busy this weekend. The major Lefty blogs are undertaking a full-court press in support of Kerry’s, and now Kennedy’s (D-Chappaquidick), call for a filibuster against Judge Alito. You have to give them credit: they appear to be dedicated and well-organized on this one. See what I mean at dKos, firedoglake, and TalkLeft. I find virtually no comment on this activity on the Right side of the blogosphere; there is one exception: (Political) Circus Coming To Town at The Jawa Report. Perhaps there will be other right-side comment as the day progresses.

Speaking of Lefty blogs…Jane Hamsher at firedoglake (bio and selected Huffington Post posts here) apparently reads only “selected” blogs on the Right. Here’s her comments on the proliferation of Right-side blogs:

Every time I look at my Technorati links these days there are a lot more wingnuts than there used to be. You're never quite sure what they're saying since it's always misspelled but you're pretty sure it's supposed to be insulting, in that sort of ham-fisted, remedial, back-of-the-class monobrow humor that finds its apex in the word "booger." Anyway, these are the people who are usually castigating me for my awful language and doing their part to spread the meme "sandpaper snatch" such that Kate O'Beirne will most assuredly never walk into a room wearing tafetta again.

I don’t know just WHO she’s reading, do you? Credit where credit is due, however. The taffeta line is a good one, even if taffeta is misspelled. Pot, meet kettle.

The news from Iraq ain’t all car-bombs and other assorted terrorist acts of mayhem. There’s good news, too, but you wouldn’t know it from reading the MSM or watching the network or cable news. Yes, that includes Fox News. Want to read about some positive developments in the war? No End But Victory has lots. Keep scrolling!

Too frickin’ funny. From the Beeb’s site: US plans to 'fight the net' revealed. My reaction? Duh! We’ve always had information war plans, and we’ve executed them in every war we’ve ever fought, albeit in an awkward sort of way most of the time. It only stands to reason the DoD would update info war plans to reflect advances in technology. Nonetheless, the funny part is the reaction from a couple of our friends in the “reality-based” community. See Hoffmania and Brilliant at Breakfast, who obviously isn’t. Comment at BaB is sparse, mostly just a reprint of Auntie’s article. The proprietress of BaB closes with:

You knew they wouldn't allow blogs to stay online forever...not once the power of bloggers became known.

This country is being led by some pretty crazy-ass m*****f****ers.

Those black helicopters constantly buzzing around her house have GOT to be annoying as Hell.
