He Did It Better

I've been bashing VD all week long here, but once again, I bow in the direction of Southern California.

Batocchio has a beautiful post that, once again, I wish I'd written.

Yeah, sure, buying a goddam Hallmark card is a sign of love, just like wearing a flag lapel pin means you're a goddam patriot, and wearing a cross makes you a Christian, and being a think tank "scholar" means you're a fucking genius like Mike O'Hanlon or Doug Feith or Dinesh D'Souza, and being George W. Bush means you're actually running the country versus Dick "Richelieu" Cheney and you're touched by the great God almighty and as infallible as bejeezus himself and just all-around, goddam fucking brilliant.

Yeah, pretty much. Go read it all, it gets better.
