Chuckle Of The Day

I got a chuckle today at Crooked Timber, a blog I don't usually associate with humor.

First I read this post by Ted Barlow taking Christopher Hitchens to task for misdirecting his readers about the substance of Seymour Hersh's allegations. Now my opinion of Hitchens is that he's a gifted jerk who's occasionally right -- but pretty much always a jerk Hmm, I think the same thing about Hersh, except for the gifted part.

Then I scrolled down to the prior post by Kieran Healy that misdirects his readers about the substance of Glenn Reynolds remarks about The Day After Tommorrow. Glenn doesn't lampoon movie accuracy, he lampoons people who think movie science is accurate. Think Ted will write a post about Kieran?

We welcome comments. However, use no profanity and be civil.

I'm still waiting for Barlow to write his "Why I Don't Like Mark Kleiman" post ... I think we'll both be waiting for a while ...

Maybe we could write a play, "Waiting For Ted", while we wait for Ted.
