| Antiwar blogger "Atrios" unmasked |
| 2004-07-28 |
| At the JustOneMinute blog. EFL. Who Is Duncan Black? Who-dat? I'm talking about the Duncan B. Black formerly known as Atrios. Given his enthusiasm for the Democrats, shouldn't he be calling himself "Duncan Heinz-Kerry?" I can't say I care, but...It turns out that Mr. Black works at Media Matters, the new David Brock media watchdog group, which is kind of interesting - he is doing paid media commentary on one site, and a lot of anonymous media criticism on the other... and I'm still not that concerned. Moonbats have no feathers/but still flock together. Yes, there is the potential for a self-serving echo-chamber effect, but what else is new in the wild, wild blogosphere. Maybe I would care if I could take the Brock group seriously. Note also that Media Matters is funded by George Soros. Ready, all together now, one . . . two . . . three . . . sing! It's a small world after all . . . it's a small world after all . . . . . . . |

| #16 The question isn't who muck4doo is. It's what he is. Perhaps he's something so alien, muck's species is to us lizardoids as the lizardoids are to the humans. Or maybe... immense intelligence, masked by incomprehensible mangling of the language... maybe he's George W. Bush? |

| #13 My guess: Mucky--excuse me, I mean "mucky"--darned capital letters sneaking in like that!--is either someone we've never heard of, or he's some famous person's secret identity: Saaayyyy . . . ever notice that you never see muck4doo and [insert name of celebrity] in the same place at the same time? |

| #9 So Assh...er, Atrios is Duncan Black. This revelation doesn't really change anything; he's still an asshat. My last name is Strike, Lucky Strike, filterless cigs my game. My dad used to smoke those. On the bottom of the packs was printed, "L.S./M.F.T." |

| #2 Come on in boys the waters fine. Just remember this isn’t a government outreach rant. No you will have to sink or swim on your ranting ability. Is Enron or Haliburton funding Rantburg? Or did the evil Carlyle group underwrite the project? Lets start the rumors now! |
