10 Years After: 2007 -- A Long, Strange Year

The 10th blogiversary fundraiser continues with the Year of Our Lord 2007.

I see that I have more carpet samples from 2007 that you probably have patience.  But for the sake of my future self for when I turn this into a book,  I'll peg a few more good examples of what was happening on this blog during that tough year:

• David Brooks was horrified...that Scooter Libby's excellent reputation had been sullied by hippies.


• I use my own personal experience to try and explain the difference between being bullied and being terrorized.


• By 2007, the Liberal blogosphere had created many traditions.  Here they are, set to music.


• "Conservatism is not their ideology; it is their alibi" -- In which I continue to plow the stony fields of Sunday Morning, more or less alone...


• A parable about manufacturing, jobs and America.  Another recurring these of this blog.


• In 2007 I researched and promoted a boycott that went nowhere.  Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.


• Years past his sell-by date, billionaire idiot Tom Friedman continued to spar with David Brooks over who would be King of the Centrist Dungheap.


• Maureen Dowd occasionally pops onto my radar.  Here I transform one of her Beautiful Agony columns into pretty good poetry for fun and profit.  Well, fun anyway.


• Make.  Them.  Choose.
