Addendum to a post on my page (see indented text):
Atrios thinks William Gibson is a "techno-conservatarian," or their patron saint, and that it's somehow weirdly out of character that he'd contribute to Media Matters for America. Guess he hasn't read much Gibson--maybe he's confusing him with Jerry Pournelle?
UPDATE: Gibson replied:
The puzzling thing about this for me being: Do I have a hundred thousand politically conservative fans, and if so, *can't they read*? Most likely Atrios is referring to that sub-species of tragic mouthbreather so mesmerized by my effortless proliferation of imaginary Starck-slick gizmos that he never even notices the characterization, let alone the socio-political implications. I have always found those guys, like the ones who ask if I've read Ayn Rand, to be a distinct minority.

Here's the clip of Bush "freaking on Charlie Gibson," as trios puts it. It's Windows Media Player, unfortunately. It's pretty unbelievable--the Dems should run it over and over. Oh, well, it looks like the site is overrun. trios is the kiss of death.
Billmon returned from the dead and posted something in the wee hours about how the Dems should make more of Bush's anger issues. Now he's pulled the post. I know he's well liked around here, but he's such a sulking primadonna. "How dare you love me?"
not nearly as funny as rodney but just as dead.
