Maddening Times at the Gray Lady

If the McCain/Palin ticket wins in November, the Gray Lady shouldn’t deck the halls with holly for the holiday season. No, sir, she should pad them to protect her writers who, fa-la-la bonkers over a world gone “out of joint,” will take every opportunity to resoundingly knock their noggins, hoping the next mad, wild-eyed bonk will somehow “set it right.”

How can I be so sure about all this? Well, just look at how McCain’s “Palin surge” has already sent the Gray Lady’s writers into a pre-psychotic state — and not just the liberals, but resident moderate Thomas Friedman.

In fact, I begin with Friedman because if he’s going loony at the prospect of a McCain presidency, he represents “the trumpet of a prophecy” that warns us to steel ourselves for a show of head knocking by his co-workers so wildly bonkers it will cause psychiatric textbooks to be re-written.

In support of the assertion that a burgeoning neurosis threatens to send Thomas Friedman across the border to the alternate universe where humans instantaneously create and change reality, I need simply point out that lately he has become monomaniacal about the notion that “Republicans...want to focus our country on breathing life into a 19th-century technology — fossil fuels — rather than giving birth to a 21st-century technology.”

The New York Times is the leader in of the biased, mainstream media. This article is about how it will go into mental meltdown if McCain and Palin win in November. In short, the New York Times editorial offices will look like the aftermath of the Haley-Bob comet.

You mean, Hale-Bopp?

They actually think of Thomas Friedman as their “resident moderate”?

WHEN McCain/Palin wins in November, I want to be on the sidewalk outside the NY Slimes building, just so I can eat popcorn while watching bodies hit the pavement, after falling from various and assorted widow ledges from above.

Ad Revenues way down. Subscriptions way off

Actually, the impact on the New York Times of a McCain-Palin win in November would look something like this:
