All Hillary, All The Time
Rod Dreher, in The Dallas Morning News Opinion blog, takes time out from bashing Obama to bash Hillary Clinton, saying he's "getting awfully tired of all this penny-ante psychodrama around what Hillary needs ('needs') to keep her happy." Well, so am I, but if it's irritating Dreher, I might have to rethink my own irritation.
Colleen McCain Nelson asks "What should Hillary say?", referring to her featured address to the Democratic National Convention tonight. What Hillary *should* do is get past the Hillary vs Barack debate. She's already conceded and endorsed Obama. Repeating that won't change her diehard supporters' minds. It would be a waste of prime time. She ought to tell the country the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans and why it's important to elect a Democrat and not give John McCain a chance to serve out George Bush's third term. It's not about Hillary. It's not about Obama. It's about our country. That's what Hillary ought to say. But what she will say is another matter.
Mike Hashimoto has had his attention to Hillary distracted by a report that the convention center has sets of three trash cans, labeled "Recyclable," "Compost," and "Landfill." Apparently, recycling is not familiar to Flower Mound residents yet, or still in the ridicule stage of public acceptance in the Hashimoto household.
P.S. I suspect I'm being blocked by The Dallas Morning News Opinion blog. My comments lately haven't been posted immediately, but instead have been held for moderator review. Sometimes, they eventually show up (too late for anyone to notice), but sometimes they don't. I guess you'll have to keep checking my blog to read the uncensored Ed Cognoski!

Yeah. The DMN is going the way of the dinosaur.
Dreher is no better than some ordinary gas bag neighbor that you dislike. I don't mean that to be thoughtlessly pejorative. I mean that he displays a dictionary definition of ignorance and for some reason he's allowed to be part of a major newspaper. It's hopeless.
Rod Dreher is an odd duck. He's educated and a skilled writer. But he ought to stay off the blogs, where his petulance and authoritarianism and hypocrisy and logical fallacies are too quick to be revealed. He needs a strong editor, but my guess is that he doesn't take kindly to editorial input, either.
Rod Dreher is obliging. No sooner do I post a comment pointing out his petulance and habit of using logical fallacies than he posts his own blog item headlined, "Shut up, gasbags! Shut up!" Try to rebut that Dreher logic!
