#1 Best. Bleat. Ever.

#2 Since Lileks works for the Star Tribune (his "Backfence" column is often very entertaining, though extremely silly and devoid of any politics), I wonder if he'll ever get in troule for embarrasing his employers and co-workers with his forensic fisking.

His website has got to be drawing attention with all the traffic he generates. The recent radio gigs too.

#3 Taro: Based on past experience, and some comments he's made in previous Bleats, it seems that the Strib doesn't mind if Lileks publicly disagrees with the house editorial position. That's a good attitude for any newspaper to take with its op-ed writers--you get a better product that way.
