Believe me, I'm trying to take shots at Mickey Kaus, but his output has been so tedious and/or inconsequential of late (polling! L.A. Times-bashing! local radio!) that it's not worth the effort of reading the crappy prose. Eric Alterman had a good one today, so I'll quote him:

Quote of the Day: Mickey Kaus[:] "Black Hawk was a highly effective movie that provided a reasonably realistic idea of what modern urban combat is like for the U.S. Army." Tomorrow, Mickey draws on his longtime experience in life after death and pronounces Warren Beatty’s remake of "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" to be "a highly effective movie that provided a reasonably realistic idea of what angel work is like for those who have died and gone to Heaven but have not yet earned their wings to become full-fledged angels... ."
