I’m sure many of you are aware by now that the once-great Washington Post has been successfully transformed into its intended new role as primary print mouthpiece for the Republican Party. In the wake of dramatically changing fortunes at the Washington Times, with lower subscription figures and drastically increased loss of reputation as a reputable news organization, the WaPo has pounced.. Sensing a great opportunity to take over the Wash Times’ former position as front page for the ultra right wing elements of the Republican Party, the Post hired one of the worst racists at RedState.org as a blogger – get this now – to provide “balance.”
It’s not quite clear just who this cretin Ben Domenech is supposed to balance against at a paper that features George Will, Charles Krauthammer, and occasionally James Buckley, but there it is.
Ben has been a Republican speech writer for the last 4 years, which is a pretty remarkable achievement for a home schooled child. It’s been my observation that home schooled children get a particularly limited view of life before they bravely step out into this frightening world where people actually have skin colors and opinions and lifestyles that are different from those of your Mommy and Daddy. But Ben’s entry into the world of the Inner Party was eased by the fact that his father was also a political operative. His father has been the “go to” guy at the Department of the Interior for the last year of two, handing the bagman duties there for Jack Abramoff.
So, in consideration of the WaPo’s new position as official print organ of the Republican Party we hereby establish a NEW RULE
No more hot links for the WaPo. Links to WaPo that can be clicked will only increase their numbers and that’s not good for America. There is no point in reinforcing idiocy.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention the Official WaPo introduction about Ben Domenech:
"Ben Domenech brings an original and authentically conservative voice to the site's Opinions area, where we're committed to presenting the most provocative, informed and ideologically diverse policy debate on the web.
"authentically conservative"? Well, let's see now:
The President visits the funeral of a Communist. And phones in a message to the March for Life. I think we can get a little pissed about this.
I'd cay that's about accurate. I can't think of a single public conservative who isn't a bigot and a racist.

It is not enough that you served with honor
It is not enough that you died for the cause
It is only enough that you are most willing
To die over and over until death has no loss
`til it finds passage through the vein of self
Torturing you through its very pounding
How dreaded and parched is your termination
How outrageous and bloodied damp are theirs
How might we know the horror of your plight
Without looking deeper than the beggar’s eyes
Without examining infinitely the empty corpse
Without narrowing our glance at rib and tongue
It is not enough that we serve a mighty tower
It is not enough that we die at its engulfing us
How might we know when it has come `round
Come to collect our very bones for the sacrifice
Will it place marks upon our shoulder, forehead
It is not enough that you served with solid honor
How might we know without ownership of you
That you gave up everything of you to save her
How might we know unable then to see the person
It is not enough that you, sir, were willing to die
It is not enough to lay claim to that and that alone
It is only enough that you are one most willing
Death to repeat within you and you evaporate
To die again and again and again and...
(Thank you for your service and sacrafice. I will visit often. Mark.)
We are pleased that you found our site agreeable, and you are welcome to return, in civility. We just want our country to have honor once again.
As for what we have done, we seek no special praise. How does that piece go in Dumas' "Three Musketeers" when Richielieu writes the carte blanche pass for Rochefort?
"What the bearer has done was done for the good of the State."
You left out his best quote, "Never trust a male cheerleader", said with no sense of irony.
Re: poetry, this is a little old, but I just saw it. Tragic.

Ben made a tactical error...I believe that I helped him correct it...little turd...our conversation is on my site if you're interested
I've been to your website, Moderate, and even though it's pretty good, I think it's disgraceful that you post drawings of Emmy Lou and photos of Janine Turner just to draw visitors.
Just disgraceful. I've been there three times today, already. LOL.
Damn, they are lovely.
Nice smackdown on Ben Redneck, btw. Not having been a Marine I take a slightly more tolerant view of civilians and their admiration thereof. But I can appreciate the sense of poaching involved here.
I don't see relatives in uniform as equivalent to actually being of some use to the country.
