I’m sorry I’ve done less posting than usual over the last week or so. I’ve been trying to put together my ideas about the last 5 or 6 years and the way America often today seems embattled and besieged in a global system and media landscape that she herself largely created. How did we get here from the breezy global primary America enjoyed in the 1990s? What broad lessons can we draw or what connections can we make connecting our current moment to the beginning of our era in 1989, 1990 and 1991?
So, I’ll confess - I don’t read that many TPM articles. just dive directly into the comments sections, so reading the above (which was clearly attributed to “discobot” by the commenting software) left me a tad confused. Was discobot finally coming clean?!? Was it ready to renounce its soooo annoying habit of interjecting itself into random threads? Would it finally stop nagging the rest of us if we didn’t include at least a couple of full sentences to a post?!?!
Nah, it turns out it was just an apologia from Josh Marshall…
