A million leftist monkeys typing, but they're no Shakespeare
"In the parable of the million monkeys banging on typewriters for a million years, the reward is supposed to be the complete works of Shakespeare. But have you heard the parable of the million interns? Here, the prize is Rush Limbaugh's head, and Bill O'Reilly's, and Brit Hume's, and pretty much any other prominent conservative or non-leftist who doesn't kowtow to the Democratic Party and its “netroots" army of Lilliputian cannibals. This, in a nutshell, is the vision behind a group most people have never heard of, at least not until this week, Media Matters for America." Good stuff.
Jonah GoldbergIn articles and interviews [in the 90s], Brock [founder of Media Matters] outed himself as a liar. He confessed to lying in the Anita Hill book, even though the lies he admitted to were peripheral to his exoneration of Justice Clarence Thomas but devastating in what they said about Brock himself; he admitted he'd been a hatchet man and borderline extortionist. In a piece for Esquire - in which he was depicted bound to a tree, nipple exposed - Brock apologized to Bill Clinton and expressed regret over his "Troopergate" stories for the American Spectator. He said they were all true, mind you, but that he shouldn't have written them.
The hatchet work continues.

Miss Norma, please forgive me if I don't comment on all of your posts. Rest assured that I read them all, but you're a machine; I can't comment as fast as you crank them out.
I love that show "How It's Made" where they show different industries manufacturing peanut butter, and surf boards and such.
They need to put you on there, "How Miss Norma Cranks Out Ten Posts Per Day."
I loved the title to this post. Even if you hadn't said one word in explanation, it would have been a great post.
Aw shucks, Mr. JAM. Time is money. I'm a millionaire.
I don't know that it would take a million monkeys and great stroke of luck to defeat Rush Limbaugh or the other media clowns that have made a living channeling rightwing aggression. One monkey could probably do the job just fine.
Karlo, you sound really miffed that there is an alternative to broadcast news. It shakes your safe world. You also read like you've never listed to talk radio. They will take your calls. They aren't all alike, and often disagree with each other, but they do skewer the politicians--even Bush. The left tried to have talk shows too; but no one listened.
