Stupidest Blog of the Week

The award for the stupidest blog I have read in a long time goes to journalist David Lindorff at This Can't Be Happening. A sampling of some of his better posts:

Global Warming Will Save America from the Right...Eventually

Say what you will about the looming catastrophe facing the world as the pace of global heating and polar melting accelerates. There is a silver lining.
Look at a map of the US.
The area that will by completely inundated by the rising ocean—and not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats—are the American southeast, including the most populated area of Texas, almost all of Florida, most of Louisiana, and half of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

Of course, Mr. Lindorff does not mention, and he is probably not even aware at all, of the compelling evidence that human-induced global warming is a myth.

Imagine a Campaign that Called for Slashing Military Spending by 75%

While the Democratic and Republican candidates for president blather on about non-issues like who will be meaner to immigrants, who will use the most water on torture victims, who wanted to be president at the youngest age, who’s the best Christian and other such nonsense, and while Congress and the president dance their meaningless dance of pretend conflict, let’s for a moment ponder something more momentous.
What if the US just packed up and left Iraq and Afghanistan, and brought the troops all home, shut down the 750-odd overseas bases we operate around the globe, and slashed our military budget by 75 percent?

Ah yes, and when we leave the people of Iraq and Afghanistan to the tender mercies of al Qaeda, what then?

Lindorff claims to be a journalist who has written for Businessweek, Salon, The Nation, Los Angeles Daily News, and many other outlets. And that's probably true, the crap he writes is politically indistinguishable from the crap we hear from the lamestream media every day. All that he and his brethren do is parrot the fashionable PC line. There is no critical examination of dogma like global warming. There is no independent thinking.
