Started to Write a Long Post About This

Sometimes you get to the 800-word mark and say to yourself, “Too much.” Instead, I’ll just link to Dan Collins’s post on the background of the falling-out between Andrew Breitbart and Glenn Beck. UPDATE: Likewise, I’ll just link this article from The Hill about the falling-out between Mark Meckler and the Tea Party Patriots. UPDATE […]

Dear Lord . . .

. . . please hear my sincere prayer: However badly I screw up, whoever I may offend, whatever public act of idiocy I may ever commit, please — O, merciful God! — never let me be guilty of such foolishness as to deserve the kind of mockery Ace of Spades laid down on David Frum. Amen.
