The Crayola Gambit
I have nothing but love for the blogosphere as a whole, but I'm starting to think if these memos had been written in multicolored crayon, you guys would be digging around for Crayola sites and bickering over whether those particular hues did indeed exist in '72. "I was in the National Guard back then, and there's no way a lieutenant colonel would have ever used Hot Magenta!" Let's try to focus, people:
30-year-old typewritten memo, I'd like to introduce you to Microsoft Word. Oh, I see you've already met! Isn't that funny.
Team Bleah has a mega-roundup with links to the CBS implosion (Bill Glennon: Media Juggernaut) and the various MSM* outlets who are finally catching up on Hurricane Kenneth, Rathergate, MemoranDUMB, or whatever you want to call it. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if some or all of them are secretly minions of Lord Gnarl.
And finally, typing the following sentence makes me feel like my life is complete: Lord Floppington fact-checks my ass.
*Mainstream media, for those of you who don't sit in front of blogs all day. If anybody who doesn't sit in front of blogs all day is actually reading this.
