as you might have noticed, Megan's offensive stupidity this week has brought her lots of mocking. I won't link to them cuz they give us no credit for working this beat every day, sniff sniff. You guys say fuck, too. Is it because I told Kathy G to stop being so bossy? (I can be immature, too, dammit.) (And just to be clear, I'm 99% kidding, I'm not faulting anyone.)
But this, via CP in Susan's comments, is too good to be immature about. If I were a more dedicated student of logic, or not a Nietzschean, that's the kind of post I would write. However, giving that much attention to the specific nature and structure of Megan's "arguments" would probably cause me to punch my laptop screen, which I would consider counterproductive. I love when folks do heavy lifting for us, but, as always, I have to counsel them not to linger on Megan's work. It takes a special kind of masochism and anger at over entitled children of privilege to survive reading her work regularly, and a willingness to swear a lot.
A whole fucking lot.

We'd burn ourselves out in a week if we tried to do that. There's waaaaay too much stupid.
Although--it would be interesting if we took one of her long posts and found every single solitary mistake and manipulation. We'd have to correct it word-by-word, though.
I still remember, with great fondness, the time you actually did that with her pancake recipe, Susan. That was sheer brilliance.
It would resemble Vanity Fair's editing of Sarah Palin's resignation "speech." Which cause some to accuse the mag of being too easy on her.
(Any links to that recipe crit?)
Here it is.
Someone else takes a swing at the pinata of stupid that is Megan McArdle:
Jane Galt's Got a Gun, from Sir Charles at Cogitamus.
You guys say fuck, too.
I thought we were doing pretty well being king of the hill here in the minor league. I didn't know we wanted to go pro...
Nah, going pro means having to pretend to find value with Ezra and Matty Y's efforts to water down what actual lefties said and sell it, at least as far as I can tell.
We're king of a hill?
I'm no better than Megan: I just want attention.
Sure, they'll write books about Teddy, but the best one was written before he was born -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Jim
