		<description>Damn, T. I knew there was someone in this whole mess who could be counted upon to act like an adult, and you proved me correct. Thank you.

Now all that is left is to open up the Useta-Was-Southern Style Charm School for Yankee Bloggers. I bet you&#039;ll have a line down the block.</description>

		<description>Let me start by noting how much I love ya, your site, and your takes. With that out of the way ...

This whole Clinton thing -- from Liza&#039;s post to TRex&#039;s juvenile pointing out of her grammatical mistakes -- just reeks of a high school lunchroom. I can even smell the salisbury steak and rancid milk.

Don’t get me wrong – when I first saw the photo of the Clinton meeting over at the Carpetbagger, my first thought was, “Damn … that’s a lot of white people.” And I’m white guy, so if I noticed it, I knew others would as well.

But those people were chosen for one thing: Their ability to raise cash. Whether through ads on their sites, or through their ability to get a message out to a large number of people, the overriding factor seemed to be campaign dollars, in one way or another.

Maybe I haven’t been blogging long enough, don’t update enough, and don’t have enough traffic to understand why the sniping I saw between FDL and Liza was even necessary. It would, however, be nice if this kind of stuff wasn’t so prevalent within the progressive blogosphere. 

I guess there&#039;s an advantage to being a ZZZ list blogger like myself ... :-)</description>

		<description>Careful with what you call an &#039;apology&#039;: after a brief look, the Pope&#039;s statement (unlike yours) seems like a classic example of a &lt;a href=&quot;http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/000327.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;non-apology&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
