The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Heh: @DaveWeigel Dismantles @PiersMorgan, But Good

 Deft, but also delightfully brutal: Sunday night, after David Carr broke the news that Piers Morgan would be ending his CNN show, I searched Twitter to find how his fans were taking it.

Bill Schmalfeldt: ‘CEASE and DESIST’!

— compiled by Wombat-socho Going to be mostly off the internet this weekend, as I have friends coming in from out of town to attend Katsucon, a local anime convention being held at National Harbor despite the horrible apocalyptic WINTER STORM that smacked the area last night.
