It has become somewhat pointless to follow the discussions of conservative talk show hosts.  I have this general sense that we have sort of moved past them for the moment.

But, they’re out there.  And what do we find?  Bill O’Reilly said something interesting last week.  Sylvia’s?  Why, they eat food and have fun there!  Who knew?  After that we run into the whole self-parody thing that O’Reilly has going for him, where the whole story becomes about the unfairness of “liberal secular non-Traditionalist outlets” attacking him — taking him out context (um.  no.) and poisoning racial relations by making it impossible for people to speak openly.  (I… guess?)

I don’t know.  It may be worthwhile to run back and stare and dissect this O’Reilly comment for awhile.

And Rush Limbaugh said something interesting.  Something about “Phony Soldiers”.  We have a slightly better counter-example for the “moveon.org” fracas than the example that was brought up throughout the controversy — Max Cleland.  So, to make a point, some Congressional Democrats have issued a resolution to condemn Limbaugh, ala that stupid fracas over the moveon.org “Betray Us” advertisement — because you cannot attack a 2012 Republican presidential candidate for some reason.  A pointless procedure, methinks, even for the point made.  Um.  “Move on”?

But.  Phony Soldiers.  Phony Soldiers.  Phony Soldiers?

Thank you very much; you’ve been great!
