Mittyism - Yesterday, I focused on a demi-literate rant site, Rush Limbaughtomy.
The Spoons Experience rang the site up for some particularly, egregiously lousy writing combined with some grossly wishful thinking. I linked to them specifically as an example of extremely crummy writing (you know - the type that TYPES IN ALL CAPS to connote emphasis. You hear me knockin', right?) and comical half-information (like this bit here, where they "reveal" that Arnold Schwartzenegger went AWOL from the Austrian Army - a fact that astounded me when I saw it on Biography, like five years ago).
Tonight, The King (over at SCSU Scholars) reports that they think they've scored a real coup;that the traffic they're getting from a short list of conservative sites is an indication that they're doing a great job.
You be the judge.
UPDATE: King Banaian of SCSU Scholars judged, and did it with style:
Your readers and you continue with your anger and your hate for those who disagree with your vision for America. It isn't enough for the likes of you to say "I disagree". You have to find your opponents morally inferior and reprobate.And with that, I'm done with them. Posted by Mitch at August 13, 2003 12:48 AMIn other words, you'd make a great academic. Lucky for you, intelligence isn't required. Your "Condi told Willie not to fly on 9/11" crowd can join the professor at UMD looking for the wrench in Wellstone's plane.
