"Those who feign outrage"
Monte Solberg responds to the (silly) CP story: Liberals aghast over Conservative "knuckle dragger" gibe on same-sex marriage. From Solberg:
Finally there are those who feign outrage. This is the camp that my friends Scott Reid and Marlene Jenning fall into. They are real pro's at the outrage game.
Here's Solberg's March 6 post. Alas, alack! They are aghast! hehe

None of that matters. What matters is that every article has his URL included. Monte should be pounding on that keyboard right now, getting short, entertaining tidbits out on the Liberals.
This is the opportunity he's created for himself and the Conserveratves to introduce a new readership to the blogosphere and to begin the process of shoving aside the gatekeepers.
They should be moving =- NOW.
