It's a whiny "we're being persecuted" tactic. It works by shifting the apparent balance of fairness until brainwashed idiots think Fox News is fair and balanced while everything to the left of it is biased. Blogs span the whole political spectrum between left and right. Don't believe me? Go look at Powerline, Little Green Footballs, or RedState. The next time you hear someone calling blogs "leftist to the max", tell them what they're full of. Oh come on, calling blogs leftist is just as stupid as calling the media liberal.

I think McCain's a cunt just as much as the next guy, but he didn't say he <em>wanted</em> the war to go on for 100 years, but that, if necessary, he was prepared to stay there for 100 years. I like the idea of this strike, but one day isn't enough. Maybe a week might leave some sort of mark. I mean, the writer's strike lasted, what, four months? One day probably isn't going to hurt much.
