Haven't written in a while. Been having a few of those "everything is so obviously awful that there's just no point in commenting on anything" weeks. Anyway, here's something short: the television news coverage of the Wisconsin protests. Well, actually, Digby already made the point pretty much as well as anyone can. (It's a short post with image and video, so I can't really quote it - just go check it out.)
Perhaps I should be surprised and outraged that two weeks of 70,000-100,000 protesters are ignored by the same CNN that for two years has breathlessly covered tea party rallies described by Fox News as "thousands strong." But in reality, it's not the least bit surprising. That's your "liberal media."
And because I feel this post is too short, I'll end with a "joke" I'm going to blatantly steal from reddit: A unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies looks at the tea partier and says, "look out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie."
