Given the above, why should we take any opinion he has on the subject any more seriously than a fourth-grader displaying his armpit-fart skills? Really, when you start with a lead like that, it's a surefire sign to shut the fuck up.

Well, on the bright side, this leftward institutional march should make it easier for us to start winning elections at some point so we can get cracking on a few of those gulags we've been wanting to build. Time's a-wastin', folks. What do we want? WORKERS' PARADISE!! When do we want it? NOW!!
Sure, NOW Zogby polls are good enough for them, now that they have an interest in overstating the power and reach of the Liberal Left. But around October 29, you couldn't get a conservative to admit that Zogby was a legitimate pollster who wasn't an Arab sympathizer. That's right about when he had Kerry getting 300 electoral votes. So which is it, morans?
Okay, from now on I'm blogging on a purely a priori basis. I admire Powerline's work in that direction, but they still sometimes cite mere accidental facts, which is ultimately a distraction from the task of conceptually elaborating the essence of the left, the media, etc.
The left captured the NAACP and the ACLU? That's quite a trick.

God, liberals are so out of touch with America.

Did you see the Rocket Man's update, with a rather odd use of the term "hard-core?"

I'm pretty hard-core. The last guy who could really rock my shit was Lawrence Welk.

Deacon and I are probably pretty hard-core
Speaking of inner Beavises...

Yes! Yes! And every word in E-Prime! You must, Adam.

This sentence no verb.

God, that e-prime bit is like a primer on how to be a crank.

That e-prime bit appears to you like a primer on how to act like how you conceive of a crank as acting.

Well, Russian has already pretty much eliminated all present-tense forms of the verb "to be." So that means we're behind.
Let's get the politicians started on the "grammar gap."
