must read Glenn screed
hes really stepped up to fill the billmon void in my blogging pantheon. i thoroughly enjoy his daily eviscerations.
I like him a lot too but he is one wordy MoFo. I wish he'd self-edit more.
The tyranny of column-inches is a good discipline.
When I quoted him a few days ago I enjoyed playing editor:
Lt. Gen. William Odom is the former director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan and head of Army intelligence. Last week, he authored a widely discussed[,] ... excellent Op-Ed in The Washington Post -- headlined: "Victory is Not an Option" -- which unapologetically called for withdrawal of our troops from Iraq [and] rebutted every myth propagated to "justify" our continued occupation...
I took out "and truly" (first set of brackets) but couldn't do anything about "rebutted every myth."
Nice one. Thanks.
