Why He's Lileks and I'm Not

The air smelled like raw potatoes when I retrieved the paper from the front drive shortly before dawn.

OK. That right there...that's why I often question my fitness to occupy the same blogosphere as James Lileks. He gives us this exquisite fisking of Kerry's MTV appearance; I note that our neighborhood smells like a vegetable.

So what are you waiting for...go read the Bleat, all the way to the end. If you want to return here later, that's fine. But salvage at least part of the day first.

Lileks did a great job, not that he didn't have plenty of material to work with. MTV is another reminder why I don't pay for cable/ satellite and don't miss it, either.

What happened? Did the Kerry campaign supply the MTV interviewer with the questions to be asked, or do they just naturally read from the same ideological page?

Funny thing. Didn't see a question like, "Mr. Kerry, you served in Vietnam. But when you got back you constantly protested the war and wrote a book, The New Soldier. cues photo clips How do you think your protests make families who STILL have members of their family as POWs and MIAs in Vietnam feel?"

Isn't it amazing NOBODY in the mainstream media is hounding Kerry about his book's content? As I said, everybody's "on the same page".

Speaking of "being on the same page", I think I have the cook-book Lilleks' header bar comes from.
