Yeah ... been there, seen that.


Man, that sounds familiar:

Brooks: In His New Tape, Bin Laden Sounds Like He’s Been ‘Reading Lefty Blogs’

Last night on PBS’ The NewsHour, New York Times columnist David Brooks compared 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden’s latest video message to “lefty blogs,” saying the al Qaeda head is like “one of these childish people posting rants at the bottom of the page.” He then went to describe why he drew such a comparison:

You read this thing, and it’s like he’s been sitting around reading lefty blogs, and he’s one of these childish people posting rants at the bottom the page, you know, Noam Chomsky and all this stuff.

You can’t help read it and not laugh at it, occasionally, because it is just absurd. It’s flying this way, and that way, weird conspiracy theories, and mortgages, global warming. He throws it all in there.


Yeah, I know what he means, but I can generally nip that in the bud by disabling anonymous comments. It's amazing how effective that is.

That makes sense.

Just nip er in the bud by disabling anonymous comments....blog anonymously...nay even champion the cause of anonymous blogging....fuck that.....call for an aggregater ban on those who would even espouse the concept of outing an anonymous blogger. Even better...challenge every aggregator in Canada to meet your high morale standard that clearly defines a "minimal standard of civility".

Awesome.

I challenge anyone to have morale as high as mine.

Can someone translate that first comment for me?

Thanks in advance.

JJ, I think it basically boils down to, "Us good, you bad."

The speech is now said to be the handiwork of an American traitor who fled the country some years ago.

jj, roughly translated, I think that first comment says this:

"A girl got a pet goat. She liked to go running with her pet goat. She played with her goat in her house. She played with her goat in her yard. But the goat did some things that made the girl's dad mad. The goat ate things. He ate cans and he ate canes. He ate pans and he ate panes. He even ate capes and caps."
