Get behind Michele Bachmann

The wingiest of wingnuts, including Michele Bachmann and G. Gordon Liddy, are threatening to boycott the 2010 census because they received the long form or just because they believe in massive resistance to all government questions or maybe even because ACORN will apparently supply census workers. Never mind that this census will be the 22nd, dating back to 1790. Never mind that the detailed questions of the long form have several decades of precedent without any significant problems. Never mind that ACORN won't be canvassing wingnut neighborhoods.

Well, I'm all for the wingnut boycott. Best way I can see for Massachusetts to keep its delegation of ten at least reasonably liberal Representatives is for wingnuts everywhere to disappear themselves from the census rolls.

Full disclosure: A friend of mine has trained to be a census worker, though not through ACORN. [/snark]

Colson vs. Hitchens

Hard for me to take a side when a Nixonian and a Bush enabler duke it out. Better to have a beer and watch the bout, hoping for MAD.

Honestly, is there anything a conservative can do so that the media stops publishing him? Colson, Liddy, North, even Nixon himself, Novak. If Spiro Agnew had lived long enough, he'd have had his own syndicated media gig nattering on about liberal nabobs of negativism. The wingnuts would have loved that. Bribery? No one would have cared.
