To Hell In a Hand Basket
Good grief.
The country is going to hell in a hand basket and you all are bitching about who sits at the "popular" table in the cafeteria. Oy.
TPM became a habit for me during the AG Attorney firing scandal. The comments and blogs were made more interesting because we all rallied to find "our own" part of the story to contribute. We had an assignment--a purpose--and that, it seems to me, made the site worth spending time with. That feeling of helping uncover the truth is what helped TPM become recognized and it was the efforts of the TPM readers and posters that "made" the story of the AG scandal.
Maybe we need another assignment? Perhaps we are so bored we are starting to eat each other--as evidenced by the contributions of the grammar patrol (whichreally needs to stop), the anti-compliment faction and the nescient brickbat coalition?
Maybe, because the health care debate is being steamrolled by the Tea Baggers and Birthers who are being bankrolled by the Health Care Cartel, TPM should invite us to contribute to the story so that we can get the "big" picture by compiling all the stories from all the local "little" pictures?
Just a thought.

You are correct. It is getting just a bit out of hand and more than a bit childish.

Matt Drudge is still riding the Clinton affair scoop. Good scoops can last a long time.
