The Wolf is Just a Little Agitated

I read both liberal and conservative-leaning blogs. One thing I find on both sides is that they often tenaciously, absolutely, and often beyond reason cling to the righteousness of their beliefs, without even the slightest consideration of different points of view. They hunker around their candidate of choice sans analysis, and hammer on every point the “other side” makes.

Most of these “absolutist” sites, both so-called “left” and so-called “right” also tend to have a very poor sense of humor.

There are few absolutes. Many things are shades of grey. Some of these are funny.

I have a great respect for blogger Wolf Howling. Although he (or she) is decidedly conservative, he can still see the chinks in the position and strategies of his own candidates and his own party. Wolf also has a wry wit that makes its appearance at the most opportune and delightful times.

A case in point is today’s post, Krauthammer, McCain & Tourette’s Syndrome:

Having said that, there are still three issues upon which I will absolutely have to show up and pull the lever for McCain in November, even if I must show up to the polling booth with my mouth taped shut so I am not arrested for one long continuous burst of profanity.

Wolf goes on to explain his problem with McCain’s approach to date on Iraq, Iran, and Supreme Court nominations. If he doesn’t, Wolf says:

“… I will need to spend that time period alone in a cave lest my extreme bouts with tourettes land me in trouble in polite society.”

Well worth a read…
