Why can’t this happen in Washington?

The Flexibility Of The Word “Bigot”
Isn’t it amazing?
The Times is a good target. People who believe in the “left-wing media” believe that the New York Times is the leftiest of them all. The people who believe in the “mainstream media” believe that the Times is the mainest of them all. Hardly anyone has a good word to say about it, except that it’s the best newspaper in the country. But really, how important is that?
Also, the name of the New York Times contains the word “New York.” Many members of the president’s base consider “New York” to be a nifty code word for “Jewish.” It is very nice for the president to be able to campaign against the Jews without (a) actually saying the word “Jew” and (b) without irritating the Israelis. A number of prominent Zionist groups think the New York Times is insufficiently anti-Palestinian, so they think the New York Times isn’t Jewish enough.
Particularly considering that the latest left epithet of “neocon” seems to often really mean “Zionist Jew.”

The Perils Of Public Entertainment
A boy who died on a roller coaster at Disney World turned out to have a congenital heart problem, unrevealed until the ride. This is sad, but statistically inevitable, when you provide entertainment to millions of people. How could Disney possibly be responsible for the death of a kid whose parents didn’t even know about his condition?
There’s a lesson here for the space tourism industry, but I’m not sure what it is, other than to not operate in the US.
Well, At Least It Will Be Longer Than Saddam’s
Mother Sheehan is going on a two-month hunger strike. It would be nice if she could keep her mouth shut for other purposes, too.
And no, before the idiots start commenting–that comment didn’t violate her First-Amendment rights. She has a right to say anything she wants, and I have a right to say I wish she wouldn’t. Ain’t the First Amendment great?

The New John Birchers
Josh Trevino says that Kos and the Bush-deranged “netroots” are following an old, paranoid model:
Consider the average member of this group. He (or she) remembers the era of leftist dominance of American politics
Kaus On Kosola
Here:
Hmm. From “finances” to “astrology” into “politics” in a seemingly easy progression. What is the common element in Armstrong’s blogging efforts in these three successive areas? Answer: BS! Armstrong defended bad stocks, then he defended junk theories of the universe, then he conned a generation of Democrats into thinking they were going to win the 2002 midterms! Now he’s promoting Mark Warner.
