In Topics: Websites Pundits
In our previous post, we explained our reasons for spending lots of time on the iSteve (Steve Sailer) blog on The Unz Review. I'd sum it up with 4 reasons, one of which I'd forgotten to mention in that last post. In order of importance:
1) Entertainment for me.
2) Getting Peak Stupidity readers.
3) Getting material for posts.
4) Being read by pundits higher up on the food chain.
I didn't think of (3) when I wrote yesterday, but it is somewhat important. Near the beginning of this blog I did wonder if I'd be nowhere without the iSteve blog*. I answered an anticipated reader question, well, if there were no readers then, myself, with No, we don't worship Steve Sailer. (There's a very good Apocalypse Now! scene in there with Dennis Hopper.)
Yeah, I cannot get myself to read the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, etc., much less pay money to support the enemy, as Steve Sailer does. I don't mean to criticize him at all for that - whatever they get from him gets used against them in a blog of law, BIGLY. As per the old "scrubbing bubbles" TV commercial, "Steve Sailer reads the NY Times, so you don't have toooooo..." He is at his most entertaining when he astutely, snarkily, and still somehow civilly, tears up the stupidity that can be seen on those electronic pages. (It's only getting stupider, from what I see. Just look at that graph up top. Will it ever peak though?)
Additionally, while this great pundit lets us see the evil and stupidity of the Regime Media, the University/DIEversity crowd, along with other Commies of the Institutions, the commenters there insert new points and often off-topic but great other examples.
I don't know - as an alcoholic understands regarding taking just a little sip of that Southern Comfort, I think going on the site to gather just a few little measly post ideas may bring on a full relapse. I am not too many steps into my 12-step program**, so, no, probably it's not a good idea.
I've got some new sources***, which the PS reader may figure out soon enough. I could even work on the blogroll. Naaaahhh!
Anyway, no, between my own musings and other sources, we'll be OK for material. I just don't know how I'll get ahold of the really, really stupid stuff that Mr. Sailer posts on, as we, after all, in search of Peak Stupidity. I hope readers here can continue to be of help.
* I started commenting there a month or so after this blog went live.
** Sorry, readers, but I messed up that link on the last post, till I fixed it just now, so this is the same one.
*** The key, BTW, is for me to read sites that are Conservative/Libertarian, but with a worse commenting system and commenters not as great as those on iSteve. That means one in which becoming a commenter is like signed up for SS benefits, and they've got [read more comments] etc., and people that, well, yeah, or not as astute, so I am not tempted ...

PS: Greetings, Mr. Ganderson...
I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson, for clearly stating what needed to be said.

PS: "You might read a few commie sites to get a taste of real stupidity." Yes, I have to think of my blood pressure too, Alarmist. It could get Alarmingly high.
I liked reading it from a guy who would nicely refute the stupidity at the same time, at least.
Anyway, MBlanc46, I agree, hence, I agree with Dieter, hence I agree with Adam.

PS C’mon man, with all the stupidity in the world, you’ll never lack for post topics.
I hit the go button before I added my peace sign.
Hope you have a great weekend, Mr. Ganderson!
