BACK OFF! I've got AmericaBlog and I'm not afraid to use it!

It's become almost a ritual to watch John Aravosis over at AmericaBlog, in the midst of his typical, hyper-kinetic reporting, occasionally seize on some topic like a rabid wolverine and, within days, stomp the living bejeezus out of someone who so richly deserves it.

He did it to Jeff Gannon, he did it to Microsoft and, as we speak, one of his blogger colleagues -- Joe in DC -- is warming up the keyboard for what is clearly going to be a smackdown of the anti-gay National Council on Family Relations, to which one can only think -- those poor fuckers, they have no idea of the freight train bearing down on them.

Having John take an interest in you is like having Mike Wallace and a cameraman suddenly show up at your front door -- you just know that your life is about to turn to crap and there's nothing you can do about it.

AmericaBlog: the left's very own "nuclear option".
