I have no plans to read her blog. Why don’t others similarly just tune her out?</p> It seems she has learned from the Ann Coulter school of journalism that saying the most outrageous thing, not the most truthful or sensible thing, gets rewarded with the most attention.

Whenever you call these stupid people stupid, people always come back with, “Stop being so uncivil! You are never going to win these people over to your side if you are calling them names!” To which I reply: “I don’t WANT these people on my side. I want people who are rational and thoughtful on my side. Not these idiots!”</p> I say the same thing all the time.

And so she engages in some online antagonism directed at him, in response. And she accuses him of being socially awkward?

On second thought, I can divulge one vendor to you: Micheal’s Frozen Custard. They don’t serve alcohol, so we should be okay.

Was she the punchline? If so that was mighty brave of her. The trap question though “But nobody with any decent readership is dumb enough to say Althouse is crazy to think everyone will agree with that right?” So we are dumb and the blogs we read are full of dumb people if we admitt we “fell ” for your performance? Try explaining the hummor of your joke who or what besides yourself are you mocking? I don’t think you were even aware that the only hummor in your post, the only joke was You! The trap question used as an attempt to steer people to the conclusion that you wanted was nice it had appeals to authority in the you don’t want people to think your stupid so agree with me. First even with Authoritaian types you need a group THAT PEOPLE WANT TO JOIN for that to work. Secound you assume that some people out there must be so unsure of themselves that when confronted forceably with a resonable alternative scenerio that they will change their minds. Satisticaly that maybe so but regular readers of the blogs see that trick all the time Ann you are not doing your audience research! Third your reasonable alternative scenerio is that it was a joke. I understand that many Republicans don’t get hummor but here is a test TRY finding an audience that has never heard of you, and then TRY making them laugh. Liberal, Conservative, even your own people the Insane I bet only will upon being asked was she funny will assume that you were the joke although not a very good one? But when informed of you past Clinton ravings the joke such as it is idea falls apart truth is we know you, you were not joking. I see this as a desperate cry for help.</p> Interesting she is doing the it was a joke defense, but what was the punchline? Was she the punchline? If so that was mighty brave of her.
