Nah Ned I'm not really saying there are no Right writers worth reading. But sometimes there is a depressing fascination to reading too many of them.

(As I had to note the other day, this is not my ONLY political reading, thanks very much. The full list of news and blogsites I trawl is pretty extensive.)

It is true that I frequent NRO more often than left-wing websites these days, but the former are never more entertaining than when deploying torturous logic and gnarled prose to defend utter nonsense.

Very. A lot of this stuff is *funny* precisely because it is so absurd. Of course it's the blackest of humor since the stakes are so high, but you have to learn to laugh (thus my reaction when I scanned the story at the start of this thread and hit its conclusion).

Mr Silvio wants Blair as European President, which hopefully will kill the idea stone dead, (although I would miss the potential LOLs from Cameron as PM vs Blair as president of europe)
