I want to spend thousands of dollars going to a Las Vegas convention where we talk about how everything's going to be cyber, and how the Red States are to blame for global warming.

A) Nobody's spending thousands to be here, and if they did they got scammed
B) The consensus here is that the future is NOT cyber, but that cyber has a role to play
C) There's been little talk of red states, and I've never met any intelligent person who suggested they were responsible for global warming, and
D) you should stop being so repressed. Vegas is a city with nearly 2 million residents, the overwhelming majority of whom don't work in or near the resorts. We're hardly using the bulk of the city's water at the hotels. The city has perfected the art of water conservation, but I certainly appreciate your concern for the environment!

I find most political bloggers to be shrill and not terribly interesting. They are arguing in a system that is just as closed as the one inside the D.C. beltway.

Her column on the convention was so simplistic, i.e. the blogs want to become that which they criticize. Probably true of a handful, but there's so much more to say about the blogospher than that. Kos is right, it is all about her insecurity.
