Dave Winer has previously said that 9/11 was a gift because it created a shared memory (assuming you weren’t one of the people who was murdered that day) and recently posted about how he’d like to burn George W. Bush in effigy, so it wasn’t surprising to see him complain about Spirit of America that what Americans really need to do is,
I think we need to get over ourselves in America, our time is just about over, unless we stop guzzling so much gas and start electing leaders with brains, morals and courage.
Hey, Dave, the site’s a gift!
And this was drop-dead funny,
I see other bloggers singing glowing praises for it, but sheez, how could they know? I don’t think bloggerdom should be used like TV talk shows.
Yeah, the last thing bloggers should do is point out sites they like, link to them, and suggest that people might want to support such sites. Oh the horrors.
But what was genuinely bizarre was this comment about 60 Minutes which recently ran photographs of all the American soldiers killed in Iraq,
When people say it’s just Americans in Iraq they’re missing something, America is so diverse, we have people of European, African, Asian, Latin descent.
Huh?
