Joe Katzman has an interesting post on how the “progressive” movement has devolved to ritual.
On The Take?
In light of the Armstrong Williams and Kos controversies, and now this story about Maggie Gallagher, it occurs to me that I should disclose formally that I’ve been doing some consulting for one of the CEV/Exploration contractors (Boeing) for the past few months. I don’t think that it’s influenced my blogging at all (other than reducing the volume, because I’ve been busy), though it’s possible that I’ve been a little more reticent to rant at some things than I might if I weren’t in the middle of them.
I’ve hinted at this in the past, but I just wanted to make it clear. I certainly haven’t posted anything here with the intent of explicitly aiding Boeing’s strategic efforts, and I in fact continue to believe that CEV in anything resembling its current form (entry body on an expendable rocket) is a huge mistake (not a position that Boeing would ever publicly take, I suspect). But I did want to avoid any major payola scandals that might get reported by Howie Kurtz.
The Revolution Continues
Well, at least Iowahawk says that they are still revolting:
We are still revolting because someone needs to be the voice of sanity in AmeriKKKa.
It’s time someone else on this campus besides the faculty learns the ugly truth: with every passing day under BushCo, this country creeps farther and farther beyond the ragged edge of mass political madness, into a sickening extremist mobius strip Texas twilight zone of fat, hydra-headed oilmen electrocuting the innocent while money-green puke gushes from their eye sockets across a basketball court covered in Eggo toaster waffles. Until the rest of you awake from your sheeple dream to the reality of this nightmare, we in the campus reality-based resistance will be like the courageous European boy Hans Brinker — putting our finger in the eroding dyke of Human Rights and shouting out to the world that the Chimperor has no clothes.
Actually, I think that one of his commenters is right. The ‘Hawk is slacking off–he probably just cut’n’pasted this from Democratic Underground. It is a gut buster nonetheless.

An Interesting Correlation
