Sure, Media Matters has its Ann Coulter fixation and Sadly, No! its fondness for Atlas Shrugs and Marie Jon, but we at Agitprop have always thought that for sheer square acreage of wingnut batshit, it's hard to beat The American Thinker. Day after day the Thinker labors nearly unnoticed, cranking out posts so inane that it makes the Hewitts, Horowitzes, and Hinderakers of the world sound almost sane. Check out this unsigned editorial:
Our contributor Rocco DiPippo, writing at The Autonomist, notices that the New York Times has just published information very helpful to any crazies or terrorists who have an animus for Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, based on David Horowitz’s blog notation of same.
Damn The New York Times! It's not as if anybody knew about the secret locations of Cheney's and Rumsfeld's weekend bunkers before they went and told!
Rocco adds: I issue a call to the blogosphere to begin finding and publicly listing the addresses of all New York Times reporters and editors. Posting pictures of their residences, along with details of any security measures in place to protect the properties and their owners (such as location of security cameras and on-site security details) should also be published.
Yeah, that's fair, since everyone knows that Cheney's and Rumsfeld's Secret Service details knock off for the weekend and they have to defend themselves.
Let’s start with the following New York Times reporters and editors: Arthur “Pinch” Sulzberger Jr. Bill Keller Eric Lichtblau James Risen [sic]
And lets find out where that awful Wall Street Journal editor Paul Steiger lives, because they published ... oh, wait, never mind ...
Hard to argue with the logic here.
Really, it wasn't hard at all!

Maybe Rocco doesn't have a home phone - or a home, or children - and he's venting his nearly pathological jealousy. Or his brain is full of cheese. I'm hoping it's ricotta.

Too clever comment.
Sorry.

The mind boggles. Of course, the second I see a link to D.Ho I know it's going to be hysterical paranoid drivel. And I wasn't disappointed.
Still, that Atlas Shrugs nutjob is hard to outdo.

Greenwald did an impeccable job writing and researching this non-issue so I humbly submit my take on it, with some insights that Glenn didn't have the time or inclination to make.

Everybody's favorite middle class housing project turned luxury rental community had quite a few twists and turns this week. First, the Times exposed what some rent- stabilized tenants believe is a campaign of harassment by landlord Tishman Speyer. Then, the Post ran with a big feature on the massive complex's new- look facilities and all the exciting changes. Now, the grounds are the scene of the latest reveal. Tishman Speyer is renovating a pair of buildings on the Stuyvesant Oval, the grassy field and fountain at the center of the property. At the bottom of each building, the brick façades will be replaced with glass, and Oval Film and Oval Kids will be created a screening room and indoor play area, respectively. A Curbed Photo Pool participant snapped some photos of the renderings and details just put up on the scaffolding. Oval Kids promises arts & crafts, parenting classes (!) and, naturally, rentable private space for functions. Oval Film advertises multiple flatscreens as well as a larger screening room, a bar area and, naturally, rentable private space for functions. How will the oldtimers react to these latest changes? Depends on if they screen Dr. Zhivago or not.
