Things
1. Apparently Matt Taibbi will be on the Daily Show tonight.
2. According to Mark Cooper, Dennis Perrin is engaged in "nothing except self-flaggelation."
3. Robert Parry is saying stuff about Joseph Wilson, Karl Rove, Valerie Plame, etc.
4. I wish to join the King of Zembla in plugging Arvin Hill's Carnival of Horror. Of course, if we're honest we can admit that everyone has their own, personal Carnival of Horror.

Ain't it the truth.
A most thoughtful mention, thanks. Does this mean not blogrolling me for the last six months was an oversight? I just thought you had discriminating tastes.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Posted by: Arvin Hill at July 12, 2005 04:57 PMYour eyes have deceived you -- you are listed, just as you've always been since the day this site was born. It's certainly not the case that I somehow forgot and never noticed I'd forgotten until just now and am trying to cover things up with transparent bullshit.

It may take some time for this development to culminate in something spectacular in your life, but, trust me, that day will come.
Posted by: Arvin Hill at July 12, 2005 05:27 PMMarc Cooper staked out the ground I wanted. I had planned to use terrorism to triangulate against left wingers and eventually get an invite to write for Moonbat Central. At the very least, I wanted Norm Geras and the pro-war left to acknowledge me with a link.
I blame Dennis Perrin for this loss of mine. He enabled Cooper. And Hitchens, too, if you think about it.

JS is kind of hopeless as an interviewer, though. Wish he'd stick to his strengths, viz, being hilariously snarky about the news and ripping Tucker Carlson a new one.
