"Woe betide that man of power who takes the side of those who have no power." -- St. Augustine

I wonder if Ann Coulter’s handlers are composing for her a “controversial” and “provocative” op-ed about the glorification of snitches as I type this. I’ve encountered one such rant (I can’t remember where, but it was priceless) about corporate whistleblowers, and how the Liberal Media is teaching us to prize people who really ought to be condemned as traitors to their companies/governments. In someone’s analysis, Felt will be recast as such, and I can’t wait to read it.

Anyway, this morning I caught a bit on CBC about Deep Throat and wished I’d gotten to hear the whole thing. I love the Watergate story as much as the next raving leftie conspiracy nut, so it’s nice to see loose ends being tied up and all that. But the guy they were interviewing had a good point: Watergate was less about a corrupt government being brought down and more about cementing the sort of mythology that allows those sorts of governments to thrive in the first place.

Angst post

My fantasies are increasingly about:

• getting my laundry done,
• going to the gym,
• lying in bed and reading a book,
• cooking a meal at home, and
• getting eight hours of sleep.
