Glimpses into the Abyss
What a dark and awful place it is inside the moonbat cave called the Huffington Post. Reading the rants there is like staring into Dante's dolorous abyss. Here are a couple of recent examples, on tips from V the K:
Apparently convinced that his party will not do well in this November's elections, Mark Crispin Miller is already accusing Republicans of rigging them. Bizarrely, he asserts that if we respect the election results, "we don't deserve to call ourselves the citizens of a republic."
Not to be outdone for paranoia, Russell Shaw believes that President Bush and Osama bin Laden have been collaborating on a video to be released on the Fourth of July for propaganda purposes. Sneers this sad little man (ellipses in original):
I can see it now- July 4 speeches and rallies, appearances with troops: "the war on terror is very real, and our brave men and women in uniform are there for us"... mention Osama..mention "emerging" Iraq democracy...keep America safe from terrorists and safe for the unborn and the true believers.
Bin Laden, according to this worldview, is a "scarecrow" — not a real threat at all, just a boogeyman to scare us with. In less that five years, some liberals have already managed to forget that September 11 ever happened — or crazier still, to convince themselves that somehow Republicans did it.
Withdrawing into their deformed imaginations may shield progressives from the effects of disappointment and grief. But it also shields them from hope, from pride, from love, from everything that makes life worth living. How awful it must be not to believe in anything but their own festering mental disease.

I saw Superman Returns on Wednesday. It was great. As for the classic tag line, the writers don't change it to anything like "Truth, Justice and a woman's right to choose." They have a scene where Perry White is laying out how the paper is going to handle Superman's return, "Where's he been? Why did he leave? Will he stay? Does he stand for truth, justice, all that stuff?" Everyone in the audience could have finished it. The producers simply want Superman to be a "global hero" so they can sell the movie globally, it's about money. Superman is definitely not gay. There are actually quite a few Christian overtones to it portraying Superman as a Christ figure.
Finally, one thing that Superman has to deal with upon his return is moonbattery. Lex Luthor, the man who nuked California and tried to nuke New Jersey, didn't escape. He was let out by moonbats becuse Superman violated Luthor's "rights". That is probably the most realistic part of the whole movie, I could see the moonbats having a Lex Luthor solidarity march a la Tookie Williams.
But anyway, the movie is great.

You should do as James Taranto, and refer to that site as the Puffington Host.

Thanks for the tip.
Wasn't Huffingpaintthinner Post originally supposed to be a place where a range of opinions were displayed, but now it's just another Moonbat Cave?

By a range of opinions, you of course mean the range of opinions of loony moonbats, right?
That may have been the intent, who knows.
Honestly though, I don't think you could do a site that catered to the left and the right. It would be like combining Free Republic and Democrat Underground. There's too much animosity, though I think conservatives could handle it better. The only thing the Left has going for it right now is the hate Bush mantra.
