…and, indeed, saves me some time. I mean, blah blah blah!!!
At this point I do believe all the arguments have been made. I’m going with, “even worse in execution than in concept, and that is something, since the concept was doomed from the start.”
Update: Matt has a more scholarly take of the same Op-Eds, if you want sober analysis and shit.
Update 2: This stuff is sort of important to understanding the world as it stands here in America. From Atrios:
It’s weird imagining the history of the last few years without blogs. I’m not sure how different events would actually be, but it certainly would’ve been a lot more lonely. During the runup to the Iraq war, blogs and other internet news sources were practically the only places where most people could find people saying, basically, that this was bullshit, that Saddam was not a threat to the US, that Colin Powell’s vial was filled with talcum powder, etc. The only Village-approved critique of the Iraq war was about how we went – with UN approval, with enough allies – not whether we went.
Anyway, it’s been a long strange 6 or so years.
Yes it has. Depressing, too.
