Super-shorter

Lots to cover, and a long post on privilege to mock the shit out of on deck. But first let's clear our plate, and do some shorterings.

Weekend thoughts:

I don't mind Hem selling out to Liberty Mutual, but the eHarmony ad has permanently put me off "Everlasting Love", and for that matter, Natalie Cole.

... Dear Megan, econobloggers don't get to complain about selling out. You commodify every single aspect of human existence. You commodify other humans. STFU.

The P-word: What Gavin said.

Pure partisanship: That movement conservatives will soon* attempt to demonize Obama shows how full of it he is to claim he's getting support from across the political divide, despite the results in Iowa showing he's getting support from across the political divide. George Bush also tried to use this rhetoric, which tells us a lot about Obama.
*- That they've already done so and call him a closet Muslim hippie traitor dopefiend, in fact, only goes to prove Megan's point that Obama is full of it, or would if she were aware of it.

Tyler Cowen explains it all: Clarissa, is, like, totally wrong to call the idea that without our current medical system no one will try and cure important diseases, like male impotence, an incredibly stupid pile of horseshit, according to what Tyler told Megan during gym.

Huckabee hawks the fair tax: That the flat tax is primarily a scheme to further reduce the taxes paid by the wealthy isn't an important feature of the idea.

Public service announcement: Trying to help people is just another way of taking advantage of them. Also, quitting smoking is the real cause of cancer.

Your morning caucus blogging: I, like, totally noticed something that, like, totally, like, means something!
Also, can someone please, please, please explain to Megan that Hillary is spelled with two L's? Please.
Also also, the comments to this post tell you all you'll ever need to know about who reads Megan's drivel.

Don't cry for me, New Hampshire: ! Thank you, whoever it was who explained to Megan that the former First Lady's name has two L's. Beautiful. It'll be forgotten by next month. Oh, yeah, and Hillary getting choked up in a probably contrived display of emotion means she'd be all weepy as president, cryin left and right and getting hot flashes and spend all her time decorating. Apparently implicit sexism is now part of Megan's portfolio.

Baltimore sues to bring back redlining: .... I can't even snark this one. It's just too stupid. Here's an honest shorter of this post; whoopwhoopwhoopwhoop flurgeringly bloooooooooooot! Gajja gajja kerotek, ming cumtowa.

Sob story: Some have brought it to my attention that Hillary's brief choking up, which I like to call weeping uncontrollably like a little pansy girl, might have been contrived instead of a sign of inherent feminine weakness. You know what this means; she's a manipulative bitch.

Back later with a more expansive take on the follow-up post on privilege, and a separate response to Megan's first print article. Did you know America is getting older? In case you haven't paid any attention to... anything anywhere over the last 20 years or so, Megan has some eye-opening info for you.
