One or two ...That Bibbity thread is a real howler. One or two posters seem so intent on proving that old people are Right-Wing Demons who Hate Us All. They don't seem to notice that their own contemporaries in Blogland are opportunistic parasites in their own right; all too happy to market asshole politicians and thinkers of all ages just to make a fast buck. Meanwhile, said contemporaries stifle and/or ridicule anyone who tries to point out that some other system might be possible. <br /><br />But, hey! I'm sure Digby knows the PROPER way to EAT SOUP!!

Yeah, did Ti..."We'll out live them!"<br /><br />Yeah, did Tim Wise lose his shit or what? It was amusing to see him backtrack and delete the "until you stop breathing" bit from his original essay. Too bad it had already been quoted all over the blogosphere. I can't figure out who is more hysterical: the white nationalists he tries so hard to inflame in order to make himself look noble or Wise himself.
