I am SOOO supposed to be napping

Ari has gone off with the babysitter (and her friend, who apparently never gets to hang out with kids and is just along for the fun of it) to the children's museum. This is a fabulous place to which we have a membership and in which I invariably develop a migraine. Hence, a perfect thing to send the babysitter off to do.

Anyhoo. Here are the big stories in the blogosphere these days:

1. Kos is a fascist (a blogofascist!) who is controlling left blogistan with his strong-arm tactics. He makes members of the left blogosphere do horrifying things like support Ned Lamont against Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary. This is something ordinary Democrats would never, ever do. Because Democrats aren't allowed to actually decide to kick our guy out of the Senate, if, say, he spits on all our values, policy positions, and political speech. Now, which people sound more like fascists: a bunch of very loosely organized bloggers who disagree with Joe Lieberman and think the people of Connecticut should have the option to vote for an actual Democrat, not just choose between two Republicans; or Joe Lieberman, who is shocked, shocked that some people think voters should have the chance to, you know, vote?

There's a whole bizarre rabbit hole of weird anti-Kos accusations to explore, if you're interested. I don't personally know anyone who is interested. I don't personally know anyone who reads Kos very much. I never do. Anyone who sincerely believes that left blogistan is Kos-centric has not spent a lot of time in left blogistan. Or in blogistan, period.

2. The mainstream media is seriously debating whether the mainstream media is guilty of treason and should be prosecuted. Or perhaps, private citizens should just take matters into their own hands when the NYTimes publishes completely unsurprising stories about how the Bush administration is doing yet more totally unsupervised spying on Americans.

3. I am sure there is a 3, but I'm suddenly actually really tired. Nap time.
