   Amusing piece. What this points out is that the crap is getting shoveled on so thick, it frees everyone from having to pretend to defend their personal biases. The adults aren’t around to mind the kids, so we can just run wild.

   It shouldn’t be long until O’Reilly starts quoting from The Turner Diaries to defend a policy, and no one blinks an eye.

   This is what Maureen Down aspires to write. This is the best snark I’ve read in a while.

   You’re going to let Rauch slide on what he says about the law of the excluded middle?

   [The law of the excluded middle is p-or-not-p. One direciton of double negation, if not-not-p then p, is related to excluded middle in that neither holds in intuitionistic logic. But the direction Rauch cites, if p then not-not-p, holds even in intuitionistic logic. What Rauch really means is the law of noncontradiction -- which is not A equals A, shut up.]

   Ah, wonderful…something to sustain my reserve of sanity. I was beginning to run out what with TDS off-air last week.

   I think Jonathan Rauch must have recently read Catch-22. Good stuff.

   Rauch is good but even he is not twisted enough to have thought up the idea of denouncing excessive CEO pay while standing next to Carly Fiorina who was paid $21.000.000 just to go away.
