Though I sincerely think my Don't Panic column's content will improve once it moves totally online, I'm still a little verklempt to be saying goodbye to my little patch of real estate in the print edition.

But not so sad that I wasted a good beer. This was a 2 year-old Beck's light no one was going to drink.

Response to Erickson's nonsensical RedState post attacking me

2010-05-25T23:32:00.004-04:00

RedState won't let me post a response to Erick Erickson's absurd comment about me, so I'll post it here for now.

---

For the record, Erick, I wasn't defending Obama skipping Memorial Day. I'd prefer he go. I just don't confuse my preference with moral imperative.

I was instead pointing that your 2nd tweet on the subject earlier today was circular gibberish designed to score a cheap political point, at the expense of coherence.

Said you:

"Diff b/w Reagan and Bush not going to Tomb and Obama? No one questioned their support for soldiers and belief in American Exceptionalism." about 8 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone

That's an amazing feedback loop you've set up. Reagan and Bush were allowed to skip the ceremony, and avoid your scrutiny, because GOP pundits didn't invent any absurd "questions" about their "support" for troops. Obama has to attend to answer the "someone" (translation: YOU) who questions his support for troops.

You're the one using dead American soldiers as props. You're the one using Obama's ceremonial proximity to their remains to score points.

That's all well and good. No one expects any better of you anymore. But don't pretend your shrieks are a coherent argument.

Do you enjoy Learning Things but hate Reading them?

I can help.

For reasons of why the hell not, I made an Audio Voice Recording of this week's Don't Panic column, in which I explain some of what's behind recent political violence in Thailand using My Own Human Voice.

Download it. Listen to it. Share your thoughts. If it seems like someone who doesn't have my last name cares to listen, I'll keep making them.

Favorite thing

2010-04-20T20:30:00.004-04:00

I was asked Friday and again today to name my favorite thing I've written. I honestly can't say, but aside from my column, my gun story from two summers ago still generates the most feedback. For a while, instead of "you're the war questions guy" I got "you're the gun guy."

I've been called worse.

Is Obama a great president?

Is Obama a great president?

I didn't have an opinion until I read this on Drudge this morning.

If these six compulsive liars and know-nothings, people who have been gloriously wrong about every major political issue of the past decade, think Obama is so bad, he's probably a great president.

2010-03-24T09:56:00.003-04:00

The fact is, if you love a country, you are morally obliged to express your love for that country by comparing its enemies to Hitler as often as possible. Just ask the Tea Party protesters.
