The Wheel of Suffering and Joe the plumber

A Triumph?

You will become that which you hate. The foregoing is a corollary of the hoariest truth of them all: What goes around, comes around. A good example of the way this corollary works is found in one of today's posts at Wizbang blog:

Yesterday evening, Ace published a tip he got which said that Ohio government employees in three state agencies improperly used government computers to dig up information on Joe the Plumber. The computers that were used were from the state attorney general's office, the Toledo Police Department, and the Cuyahoga County Child Enforcement Agency. Ace said the story would break in the next 2-3 days. Well it hit Drudge last night. Here's the story from The Columbus Dispatch.

Hmmm. And so many on the Left were foaming at the mouth about law enforcement listening in on suspected terrorists' overseas phone calls.

The liberals will become exactly what they have hated so much. They will think it is a triumph.

Angry journalists blame blogs, blog blame

Ever since Dan Rather got canned...

The Main Stream Media is going through some changes. Changes resembling those that transformed the buggy whip industry at the advent of the automobile age. Advertising revenue is off, circulation/viewership is down and public trust in MSM journalists is at an all-time low. The "workers" at the MSM newspapers and network news desks are feeling the pinch.

As liberals everywhere are wont to do, these disgruntled journalists are casting blame everywhere but upon their own failures. Most of them seem to blame the internets in general and the blog phenomenon in particular for their slide into unemployment.

In an ironic turn of events, these complainants find little choice but to use the very instruments of their torment to give vent to their dissatisfaction. They have a web site. But for a few cosmetic differences, their web site might as well be yet another miserable blog.

What goes around, comes around.
