Link Round-Up - Shirking Academic Responsibilities edition

Before I forget, I have things to give you. Here's what I'm doing instead of homework.

- Barack Obama finds himself in the middle of a flap regarding an age-old tale of gay-bashing, gospel singing, and South Carolina campaign rallies. Earl Ofari Hutchinson has more.

- This just in: Glenn Beck is still a douchebag.

I dislike him more than most people.

- Slate takes a revealing look at the candidates’ use of those new-fangled social network sites. You know, the kids and their MyBook…

- The jesters at Indecision 2008 present their own look at the primary system.

- The Economist likes Al Gore… but not for president.

- Finally, Heath Shuler’s back in his element – losing football games in Washington.

It's nice to be good at things.

- I think I’m developing a big-boy crush on Adrian Fenty.

And finally, from the “If You Love It So Much, Why Don’t You Marry It” department, a few solid articles from Washington Post’s better, onliner half:

- Trippi to Edwards. The ghost of Howard Dean approves.

- Rudy Giuliani may, in fact, be Hillary Clinton. Don’t let him tell you different.

- Mitt Romney and the Liberal Mormons. Coming to a garage band convention near you.

- Spotlight on… Indiana?! Hey, I’ve been there!

I read that media matters story and I'm still trying to figure out why that makes him a "douchebag." Okay, he said that there are people who hate America and he was making the point that they tend to be part of the "hollywood scene" that is unfortunately (he even said unfortunately) being tormented by fires at the present moment.

What's funny is that Media Matters even put the quote in context because they think that makes it worse. But he was saying that just because you're a dem or liberal, he doesn't think you hate America. However, there are people who do hate America (which you can't really disagree with.)

I agree it wasn't the best thing to say, but it wasn't really that bad.

That deplorable man plus a Nancy Grace CG peeking out from the corner of that image is a little too much for me to handle.

I don't think it's the forest fire comment so much as the complete disregard for logical argument progression and his inability to tie his thoughts together. He makes sweeping statements and draws conclusions that barely scrape upon previous thoughts... especially the whole policies vs. principles bit.
