Ballon-Juice thread (note, I never used to respond on blogs, but BJ feels different: (1) it's filled with a lot of no-nonsense types, men and women, who take pride in seeing through B.S., (2) many posters have swift, sick senses of humor which makes for great reading, and (3) posts are put up pretty quickly - all three things are the opposite on most sites like, for example, TPM/TNR):
