Ezra Klein (I don’t know him either… some goofy liberal) tweeted this bit of nothing:

Ace, from Ace of Spades HQ [High Praise!], asked himself why Klein would take the time to say nothing, and then answered his own question [link contains NSFW language]:

That is what drives me crazy about modern discourse. So little of it is actually designed to advance a proposition. So much of it is designed to advance The Speaker.

Modern speech is insanely “performative.” Modern speech is marked not by its focus on the statement itself but on the act of making the statement, and how that act (allegedly) credits the speaker.

Basically, liberals don’t care what they say, they just want to be seen saying it.

Huh… reminds me of a set of Bible villains…

The Obama administration has asked for $15 million to pay for messaging to counter ISIS propaganda.

Which, with this crowd, ought to just about cover one website with a stock-photo “under construction” banner.

During his weekly address, President Obama said “we’ve spent the last year improving and upgrading HealthCare.gov, to make it faster and easier to use”.

Yes, to save you time, they set the “page not found” notice as the home page.

During an interview with Politico, Nancy Pelosi said of the mid-term elections “there was no wave of approval for the Republicans”.

Nancy, if the wave had been any bigger, it would’ve had surfboards.
