From the desk of Jane Galt:This one goes into the RSS reader
Frankly, I don't think we need any more young whippersnappers in the blogosphere . . . we old cranks need a little job security, you know? In fact, I've been rethinking this whole competition thing. Having spent my whole life learning to be a miserably remunerated web pundit with no benefits and scant job security, I think it's a little unfair to change the rules on me just as I've reached my peak earning years. Nonetheless, for this one, I'm making an exception.

Update Okay, it would go in the RSS reader if it had an RSS feed.

Is Edwards supposed to lie about how he really feels, tell the truth and apologize profusely, or report to a reeducation camp?
I don't even recognize the country I was born in anymore.
Posted by: MarkD on May 25, 2007 8:08 AMIs Edwards supposed to lie about how he really feels
Um, yes, of course. That's a minimal part of his job description, and one that too many politicians are failing at recently. It would be better, of course, if politicians could simply shut up about how they really feel, but that seems to be impossible these days. I blame Oprah.
Posted by: Dave on May 25, 2007 9:19 AMUh, is this a joke? I get the feeling this is a weird parody, like 'Altmouse.' Whoever it is, they regard DEBKA reports as worth mentioning. That tells me something.
Posted by: Klug on May 25, 2007 10:31 AMKlug, I read the article as 'straight', honest opinion honestly stated. I agree with the analysis, the conclusions, and the premise. I personally prefer Fred Thompson for President, but agree with Whippersnapper that gay issues is not a place to find fault with Edwards.
Posted by: Brad K. on May 25, 2007 3:04 PMBrad: I agree with his assessment (and yours) for that matter. But Matt Y, Ezra K. and Jane all of a sudden put up links to this guy, a.k.a "Mickey Kaus' Worst Nightmare."
The voice is just so different that it's either a really smart, really different high schooler (or however old he is) or ironic sock puppetry.
Posted by: Klug on May 25, 2007 4:46 PMWow, it's a college liberal who's in love with his own voice. Next you'll tell me you found a dog that enjoys licking himself.
Posted by: bgates on May 27, 2007 3:26 AMI'll conceede that I probably like my voice too much, but please, i'm a high school liberal, i'll be totally insufferable in fall of 2008, so let's not jump the gun here.
