Okay, I’ll Hold The Snark
I thought of many things to say about this news from Glenn Greenwald, most of it snarky. So I’ll just say congrats on the book deal – I’m officially jealous. There – I said it…

I’ll provide the snark. I guess now we know why this guy seemingly came out of nowhere recently, breathing hellfire and making the kind of sweeping generalizations certain folk love to hear – dude’s got a book to sell.
Thanks, Mark. I appreciate it. Excellent self-restraint.
I love how people on the Internet feel so free to spit out statements without having any idea whether they’re true or not and not caring in the slightest if they are.
The first time I ever talked about a book project with anyone was a full five weeks ago when the editor approached me with a proposal to do one. By that point, I had already been blogging on the NSA scandal every day for 6 weeks. The book project grew out of the blogging. To say that I’ve blogging in order to sell a book that didn’t even exist in concept even as late as the beginning of February is pretty dumb, even — actually, I’d say especially — as “snark.”
You realize, of course (at least I hope), that I’m quite sincere in my congratulations – and my jealousy…nice job, even if we disagree 99% of the time…
Then I stand corrected, Glenn. You came out breathing hellfire and making sweeping generalizations and some smart publisher realized he could make some money off that.
Thank you. I assumed you were sincere.
We disagree 99% on the narrow issues that both of us discuss right now. My guess is that number would be lower if that included all issues. Once the rule of law is restored to our country, those other issues will be more important and then we’ll see what the number is.
True, true…I don’t know where you stand on most issues nor you I…good point…disagree on most of the burning issues of the day, I should say…
I’ll just pass by the rule of law comment since I trust everyone here knows where I stand on that…
