Where I have to...(shudder) give Thomas Friedman his props...(shudder again)...

Mr. "The Next Six Months" finally got something right (courtesy Think Progress):

New York Times op-ed columnist Tom Friedman has joined the fight against Proposition 23, the Tea Party effort to kill AB 32, California’s climate law that he describes as “the best thing we have going to stimulate clean-tech in America.” Saying that “this is a fight worth having,” Friedman cites ThinkProgress coverage of how oil giants like Koch Industries are bankrolling the Proposition 23 campaign. Noting that Republicans Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Schultz are leading the charge against Prop 23 and for the clean-tech investment spurred by AB 32, Friedman concludes that the “real joke is thinking that if California suspends its climate laws that Mother Nature will also take a timeout”.

I'd like to take a moment and address, the Fates, the Norns, the Big Man, whoever's in charge of destiny around here.

Once...just once, I'd like to get in a clean shot on somebody, without either having to walk it back, or put something up that makes my intended victim slightly more agreeable.

What was that?


That's what happens when you talk too much smack in the media?


And maybe this is a lesson that all of the Mainstream Media needs to learn?


Okay. Message received.
