Seen today:
4 of the top 10 stories on Digg today are essentially the same story: Ron Paul r00lz, Rudy Giuliani dr00lz.
Regardless of what you think of the merits of candidate Paul versus candidate Giuliani, it's hard to imagine a world where that particular debate would actually merit this volume of navel-gazing.

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.

Well, far be it from me to copy an abbreviation favored by Michelle Malkin, but the MSM did step on their crank on this one. It's been reported as "Giuliani smacks weirdo" without any attempt to call Giuliani on his bizarre statements about being a Middle East terrorism expert who somehow has never heard of the blowback theory.
Yes, Paul is a crank, but that doesn't mean he's wrong or that he's not being unfairly hosed by the same kind of uncritical media that helped us get into the war in the first place.
But Digg sucks, 'tis true.
"Well, far be it from me to copy an abbreviation favored by Michelle Malkin, but the MSM did step on their crank on this one."
Oh, I don't disagree. I think Paul is closer to reality on this issue than Giuliani is. I just think it's ridiculous that the issue has basically taken over Digg for the week.
