One source of blog posts is the op-ed pages of the newspapers I read. This evening, while proctoring an exam, I settled in to read a couple of columns published in my local paper. First, I found myself laughing out loud at a Michelle Malkin column (not good when proctoring an exam). Malkin was complaining about "unscrupulous gossipmongers" who have wrongly attacked Sarah Palin. Michelle Malkin is one of the foremost unscrupulous gossipmongers around, so her outrage was in fact, hilarious. For a columnist that gleefully pitched in to help "swift boat" John Kerry (at one point alleging that he shot himself to win a purple heart) to complain about such slanderous conduct is absurd. Compared to Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin is Mother Theresa with a genius IQ.The next column I chose to read was that of Thomas Sowell, who has a habit of publishing very unimpressive conservative cookie cutter columns when he can't think of anything interesting to write about. Today, he bored me with an incredibly sophomoric argument against gay marriage.
