Ugh, I was up until 4 am working on proposals. So here is my list of Monday links:<\/p>\n

  • So your 9\/11 conspiracy theory is gibberish? Sue<\/a>!<\/li>\n
  • More Numbers in the Dark. You know that massive crime wave that’s happening? Um, no<\/a>. Also that study that says men are happier than women? It might just be a noise spike<\/a>. Always remember that we get our news from people who flunked math and science.<\/li>\n
  • You know Media Matters? The organization that loves plucking quotes from guys like Bill O’Reilly out of context? They’re part of the Clinton\/Soros Empire<\/a>. Now the article is complicated and, frankly, a bit paranoid. But you know that if similar ties existed between George Bush and, say, the Swift Boat Vets (oh, wait they do!), everyone would go nuts. I’m curious … how many liberals has Media Matters gone after?<\/li>\n
  • Juan Williams has a more coherent defense of O’Reilly<\/a>. Now look, I’m not fond of Bill O’Reilly. In fact, I don’t like his show at all. But his Sylvia’s comment is being taken completely out of context. It’s fine when The Daily Show<\/em> does this. That’s a comedy show. But when news organizations do it? Jesus.\n

    When I saw the segment on The Daily Show<\/em>, I knew the quote was being taken out of context. Why am I smarter than people who analyze the news for a living? How can a dippy blogger be more attentive to this sort of thing than people getting paid for it?\n<\/li>\n

  • Dick Nixon was an anti-semite<\/a>. Big surprise. Of course, FDR did little to stop the Holocaust.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
