Beating up on Glenn Greenwald (And Socky the Sockpuppet)  is perhaps passe, being such an obvious and easy target. But damn it, it’s so much FUN… as Jules demonstratessnark2 so well:

McQ over at Q&O points up a source of power we haven’t been using as much as we should; Tidal forces.

Ya know, I can’t help thinking on Billy Beck as I read Mark Levin this morning:

I’ve been thinking this for a while so I might as well air it here. I honestly never thought we’d see such a thing

As longtime readers will know well, I have never been impressed with Paul Krugman, except in the extreme negative. As an example a comment from a few months ago:
