If I might take a moment to belatedly explain myself

We all remember a few months ago when I was taken in by the wit of one mr. jon swift and the hilarity that ensued:

Dear Lord. This is perhaps the greatest example of someone missing the point that I've ever seen.

And that's being charitable.

At any rate, since that time I've had trouble taking any of the lesser celestial objects of conservative blogging seriously. For example, is this guy for real? He's frenzied about campaigns donating to campaigns and a government-sponsored war on automobiles? This is exactly the kind of conservative who would think "In the Navy" is a song that honors our men (and women, I suppose, but to a lesser extent) in uniform. It's the open and ham-handed bigotry and stupidity that gives him away as the genuine article: grade A, Oregon raised, right-wing nut.

All of this, of course, is by way of tribute to mr. swift, his art, and his ability to snag the gullible without scraping the bottom for humor. If you don't have it there already, his is a blog that should be bookmarked.
