saurabh is a manic- depressive graduate student with delusions of
overturning well- established social hierarchies through sheer weight of cynicism. in his spare time he writes self-effacing auto- biographical blurbs.
dan makes things up casually, effortlessly, and often. Never believe a
word he says.
hedgehog burrows between San Francisco and other areas rich in roots and nuts. His father says he is a literalist and his mother says he is very smart. Neither of them say aloud that he should spend less time with blegs and more time out of doors.

George Galloway dust-up
Read this CT post, where some liberals get irate at GG for some recent remarks. Most of the comments are worth reading. I have nothing more to add.
Comments
I found this link in the comments, a story about an American deserter. After reading the NYT piece linked earlier on this blog about the Americans who gleefully kneed a rural Afghan prisoner to death because they thought it was funny that he called out for God when they attacked him, I thought I was through having my stomach turned by war stories.
But that link literally made me feel queasy. If they turned that guy's story into a movie, nobody would let it be rated NC-17, it would be XXX, and not for sex. That stuff brings horrifying to new levels. I'm really disturbed--and even more disturbed that I know I have to get over it.
And then they get mad at George Galloway for figuratively comparing imperialism to rape. Get mad at the fucking rapists first.

Dsquared subsequently had a partial change of heart. When he found out about Bliar's new crackpot laws, he wrote this comment on Lenin's Tomb, a pro-Galloway blog.
Loony and wingnutty as it sounds, I think the biggest problem with liberals is a lack of moral clarity. Like Dan said, how can they possibly get mad at Galloway. This urge to always have a sensible position leaves them making false equivalences.
