"Astroturf" - That's the new buzzword among the blogs on the left.
According to lefty bloggers like Josh "Joshua Micah" Marshall, when a group of average schmuck liberals gets together to agitate for something - even if it's under the aegis of an organization like MoveOn.org (which just got $5 million from George Soros) - it's "Grassroots".
But everyone knows that it's the conservatives that are run by a centralized cabal of big-buck financiers, and we couldn't possibly organize to move mountains at the grass-roots level, right?
Every time I worry about getting enough material, I just read a few of my favorite lefty blogs. It fixes things every time.
