We're a distributed network of people, including some bloggers, who keep our eyes out for the BS and deep stuff that they keep spewing...so many of us, so few of them....

It means "We Bad!" They know we are the ones smacking around the MSM. Also, a check on alexa.com under Society put us at 19 (out of the 20 they list).

Over moist rabbit with spaetzle, sautéed trout with capers, and pan-seared red snapper, the group reached its usual easy consensus:

1. Private accounts for Social Security are dead in the water; the only way the President is going to get a win on this issue is if he gets a massive (or gradual) shift in public opinion, or (more likely) if he gets a little bipartisan momentum for something in the Senate that will look nothing like he has proposed and that violates some of his bedrock principles.

Its like the election of last November did not even happen to these people. Its a liberal la-la land that does not exist.

I am going to make a prediction. They are going to misunderstimate Bush once again - expect private accounts in social security.

We were also mentioned this week here:

CNN NEWSNIGHT AARON BROWN Transcript

JEFF JARVIS, JOURNALIST: Anyone who's a witness to news can be a reporter, because anyone and everyone has access to the press, to the Internet. Everyone is a Wolf Blitzer in sheep's clothing.

KURTZ: Jordan was already controversial for writing in "The New York Times" two years ago that CNN had not reported some of Saddam Hussein's abuses to protect its Iraqi employees.

(on camera): Why does CNN, or CBS, which came under cyberspace fire for Dan Rather's discredited story on President Bush, care what bloggers say? These online commentators can generate enough noise that they push a story into the press or circumvent the mainstream media entirely by communicating directly with computer users. The people who own the printing presses and television towers are no longer the gatekeepers of what is news.

(voice-over): But for all its fact-checking prowess, the Internet can also be a place of ugly rumors, such as the unsubstantiated allegations on the conservative site FreeRepublic.com that Baltimore's Democratic mayor, Martin O'Malley, was having an extramarital affair.

MARTIN O'MALLEY (D), MAYOR OF BALTIMORE: These are despicable lies. These are falsehoods. KURTZ: Falsehoods that, it turned out, were spread by a longtime aide to Maryland's Republican governor, Robert Ehrlich. When "The Washington Post" revealed the postings, Ehrlich fired the aide. Sometimes, the much-maligned media can also act as a check on the blogosphere.

Howard Kurtz, CNN, Washington.

Kos is a leftie lunatic and mudslinging fearmongerer, not above lying about opponents, etc.

So, what's the 'praise' in 'beating' such a loon and his cadre of fellow radicals?

"Gee .. how does one become part of the "Gang""

1. Be a beltway Liberal.

2. Be able to tolerate a Gore speech without hurling.

3. Learn the secret handshake.
