I searched and did not find an article by this title. Located this on Hugh Hewitt's site, posted by the author on his blog on the 24th of December. GREAT READING.

"The fire from the webloggers, or "bloggers," had been particularly devastating, with pinpoint accuracy and precision."

Might be because we read news from all over the world and not just from MSM. Good article. Happy New Year!

That was a great read. Many thanks!

All of it was so entertaining that it is hard to pick a favorite passage.

Here is one ...

"One man, by the name of Robert, had to have so many false assumptions, invalid premises, and logical fallacies removed that there was little left.

They couldn't excise the last vestiges of self loathing--to do so would have left him with nothing at all. Now, he just wanders the halls with a bandage on his head, like a post-post-modernist zombie.

As he staggers along, he mutters under his breath, "I'm a Western oppressor. Beat me...stone me. Ooooohhhh, I'm such a naughty little tool of the phallocentric oligarchy.

Spank me...spank me until my tender little bum is a rosy red..."

It looks like he is leaning to his right. It must be an illusion.

Simberg is particularly knowledgeable about space policy. I worked in aerospace for a dozen years and enjoy following what 's happening in the industry.

Hmm...it has been posted before, I remember it (the "Remember what I told you about logic" line is a classic). But the original version predates the election, so the article has been updated recently. Still a great read though! Thanks for posting.
