re: #166 Killgore Trout

Yes, I read Ed Morrisey’s dishonest article this morning too.

I’m so disappointed in the turn Ed has taken since shutting down Captain’s Quarters and going over to the dark side with Malkin. His blog used to be one of the more calm, rational oases that offered well-reasoned essays on current topics that I could at least appreciate, if not always agree with. Since taking up with Malkin, he has been churning out the same wretched name-calling, hate-filled spew that she is so famous for.

I guess that’s what happens when you decide to take someone else’s money instead of generating your own. You give them what they want. In Ed’s case, I can’t blame him; he has a lot of expenses he has to meet. But it’s a pity to see where he’s wound up.

I doubt it will last, either. The business model being used is unsustainable, to say the least, and their adoption of the tinfoil-hat crowd’s woowoo just isn’t going to be enough to keep them going much longer, unless they find another sucker to rope into financing their club, which seems unlikely.
