Not sure why I bother...

...but I find myself taking up the cudgels in other peoples' comments against the people who seem incapable of any kind of political thinking beyond parroting whatever the current line being dished out by the Dominant Media Culture is. Right now it's all the handwringing over Abu Ghraib, which the networks and newspapers are doing their best to shove up peoples' snouts - when the public has already moved on to wanting to know what's up with the murder of Nick Berg. (See Instapundit here and by all means follow the links.) So far I've left comments on Qob's LJ and Brian's...they seem to be the lone conservatives in their particular circles of friends, and sometimes it can be hard to be the only one in a crowd. Maybe that's it - or maybe I just like easy targets. A fish, a barrel, a fully automatic Athlon box...need I say more?
