Correctomundo?
That’s why I strongly counsel the most reserved, conservative and measured tones be used whenever we discuss that filthy pervert, G. Gordon Libby and that pack of criminals he associates with.
Thank you.

I sure know what you mean about “dust in the wind.” I imagine Fitz knows he will not solve all problems, but that he is doing his small part to stop a few bad ones from taking advantage of the rest of us just trying to keep up our end of the deal.

Many specks of dust can add up to quite an event. Or a mess. Anyway, we can do our own best, and I myself look to men and women of his sort as just an inspiration and reminder that I have a part to play, and to take my small part seriously, with energy, honor, and humility.

I tried hard to find the FDL article that Jane or Christy wrote about not looking to Fitz to do it all, to not be ourselves passive spectators. It was posted shortly after the Jason Leopold sealed indictment flurry, as a reflection on the phenomenon of this excitement around Fitz and team’s work, and a caution against depending on the outcome.

Anyone able to find it and link it? I really liked it, and I just spent a good 40 minutes searching. I just know I saw it! And if I don’t get my tail-end to bed, I will not do the world a dang bit of good later on today Sunday, for all my high-falutin’ typing about it. goofball that i am… must sleep… or my toddler will run me into the ground for sure…

I’ve yet to go through these articles point by point, which will probably take me a day or two, but Manjoo is one of those rare journalists who has an understanding of mathematics. There’s nothing obviously wrong in what he wrote.

Now, to deal with some of the inevitable rebuttals,

* I’m a registered Democrat, and usually vote for Democrats

* it’s true, I’m not terribly courageous, but I don’t feel threatened by these articles, or by most of you people

* my ass, while large, is not as large as many. For instance, I wasn’t one of the people who posed for this photo, and it’s quite possible that you were.

* I understand things to the level of how well you can explain them

Now that we’ve dealt with the stupider rebuttals, carry on …
