Keep it down in there

In the blogosphere, that is.

Billmon -- as he so often does -- puts into words the uncoagulated thoughts I've been trying to express for the last 24 hours or so.

Thirty seven innocents are dead, hundreds more are wounded, a city is paralyzed, and you're acting like this is the spin room at the last presidential debate -- or your own private revenge fantasy.

Since he posted that, the death toll has risen to 50.

Surely, though, this piece of cherce thinking sums up the absolute incoherence of some people who can't observe the horrifying events of yesterday without relying on the prism of their personal and uninformed politics to help see them through.
