In any event, it is apparent that this conversation is going nowhere but down fast. For that, I bear as much of the blame as anyone. I'm done. Declare yourself the winner.

Oh, and, fuck me?

Fuck you.

Because I love you, platonically, like an internet friend, whom I broke up with but then reconciled with, I must say you could have invested the time and energy you put in here, which ended in a big FU, into your blog, which is more of an exercise in making friends and influencing people.

FWIW, no knock on Sidd, whom I understand is very handsome virile chap, platonically, PLF (the other PLF) and/or the Comic's spouse are much more comely friends who would be prone to positive responses to your considerable bloggging talents.

The real news is that Kos has taken over the NYT. Oh the humanity!

Is there any difference between the ramblings on Kos and the sort of thing one would hear bandied about in a Polic Sci seminar at a very liberal college? Its just so silly. I don't get how Kos gets taken seriously by anyone. Is just a liberal version of Townhall.com or Rush Limbaugh.

I can't say that I've ever found the site particularly interesting, but it does seem to keep a lot of Democrats off the street, which is good for those of us who don't like being pan-handled by patchouli-smelling deadbeats when we step out in the morning to pick up the Wall Street Journal.

I've been watching the whole Lieberman/Lamont thing with some degree of amusement, largely because (a) I'm not from CT, (b) I don't really care too much about Lieberman personally, though I do find him mildly annoying when I do think about him, and (c) I presumed that the whole primary thing couldn't really be profoundly affected by Kos or some other bloggers typing angrily onto their keyboards, no matter how pissed they really are. In the end, I thought, it's a local campaign and the locals will decide what they want.

I was surprised, though, to come across the NYT editorial in which the Gray Lady endorsed ... Lamont.

It is NOT a typical, mealy-mouthed endorsement. Nor does it spend more than a paragraph or so praising Lamont. No, much of it is dedicated to the dicing and filleting of Joe Liberman. To what I imagine will be Slave's, Penske's, bilmore's, spanky's, and club's delight, the NYT doesn't even pretend to sit above the fray and spend time complimenting both candidates. Instead it kicks Joe in the butt, stomps on his testicles, and leaves him for dead.

I don't know but presume that CT voters tend to read this paper, and would imagine that a typical voter there would place some importance on the NYT's endorsement, certainly more than that of an Atrios. I wonder how this will play out.

A couple of points, not in any order of importance.

Nutmeggers from the NY side of CT read the NYTimes. Also transplanted nutmeggers. Cip, moi.

I sort of like Lieberman, for a dem.

I like Lieberman more now that I know the NYTImes doesn't like him.

Most people think the NYTimes is a fucking joke. Their Oped page is a goddamned embarrassment. So is the Journal's. The two are partisan bookends. The Journal is slightly better because the writing is better than it doesn't have a shrill little twit like Krugman whining through it every other day.

I think the NYTimes is offensively partisan, but I don't think it's a joke. For better or worse, it's probably the best national NEWSpaper out there.

The WSJ is a business/financial paper. And it's Op-Ed page rocks.

Sorry, I needed something to wrap around the Adam & Eve catalogues.
