the long dark teatime of the blog

   You know, every single post on the frontpage here is dogmatic in some
   way. Bush bad, Iraq good, media evil, no hope, yes hope, blah blah
   blah.

   You know what? none of it matters. Iraq will be that which it will be.
   The simple truth is that we are in all likelihood going to withdraw no
   matter who gets elected in 2008. Dean will blame "people like Ali" and
   Ali will blame "people like Dean" and everyone else will have their
   choice of fingers to blame.

   but the biggest tragedy - yes even bigger than the fireball of even
   worse sectarian bloodshed that withdrawal will ignite, even bigger
   than the coming kurdish explosion regardless of whether we withdraw
   (but even more likely if we DONT withdraw), is that the very idea of
   American multi-pole power applied in the service of activist
   intervention for the purpose of increasing liberty (NOT NOT NOT
   democracy! cart before frakin horse!!) has been deeply tarnished. And
   for that j'accuse all of you with your axes to grind and your pointed
   fingers of blame and your wikis and scoop blogs and whatever.

   Its time to stop this endless wankery.

   I am done listening to all of you. I have my sources that I respect,
   and I will focus on them, and I am tuning you all out. Build your
   wikis and marshal your comment hordes and engage in your dialouges and
   Scoop yourselves to nirvana. It doesn't make a lick of difference.
   True policy is being shaped in forums and avenues far beyond your ken
   - I will point you to them if you ask me. Nicely. But if you come
   carrying a blame agenda, then point that sucker at yourself, because
   YOU are the problem.

   and that's all I have to say about that. My best blogging nowadays is
   over at [1]Haibane.info, where I've added [2]Food and [3]Art
   categories to my existing ones about [4]movies and TV, [5]Anime, and
   [6]various other [7]geek and [8]intellectual pursuits. Stop by if
   you're sick of the poseur crap about blogging to change the world and
   want to simply indulge for a change.
