IT'S WORTH remembering that the blogosphere is still so new it baffles spell check. For that matter, if I type "blogger" on my screen, my retro software offers alternatives like "loggers," "floggers," and "boggler."

It "boggles" my mind to realize how quickly a piece of Internet terrain has gained power in politics. By now, the political blogosphere is to the left what talk radio is to the right. It is a forceful, sometimes demagogic, message-monger organizing tool for the progressive end of the Democratic Party.

The New Republic's Jonathan Chait recently called the netroots "the most significant mass movement in US politics since the rise of the Christian right." In fact, they've amplified the antiwar, anti-Bush views, become an alternative fund-raising operation, and linked cyberliberals across the country.

Last week, these progressive political bloggers not only attracted 1,200 to Chicago for the Yearly Kos convention, but made it a designated stop for seven out of the eight Democratic candidates.

It is remarkable the hatred lefties spew especially by liberal white women towards men. How tired their thinking that angry men "are righteous" while similar women are labeled "crazy or bitches." Plenty of men have been harshly criticized with certain negative terms better left unsaid here and yet these male-haters continue their venom.

It’s Ellen Goodman - what do you expect? She’s been a poster child for the “Prematurely-Aged Excessively Masculine Suburban White Minivan-Driving Democrat Soccer Peace Mom” contingent since the mid-80’s. ;)

I am astonished that Ms. Goodman continues to get paid for writing such drivel.

But then, this is a great country; so much so that it even tolerates her columns.

But then, I’m merely another angry white man. Too bad for me, ay? :)

...where they all sat and breathed each other's own exhaust. :)

No one knows you’re a dog when posting on the net.

Reminder to Ellen... No posting after ‘girl talk’ with Modo.

... while I was a visiting fellow at Harvard's Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy.

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen. Why on earth would you take money from Harvard, while allowing them to call you a visiting "fellow"?

And then to admit this obvious submission on your part, to the White Male terminology used by that Harvard Center.

Shame on you Ellen, Shame, Shame on you!
