I never quite know what to make of Megan McArdle, but she does a pretty good job here, managing to combine effectively and coherently the truth about both IT departments and financial accounting.
That is, she does a good job all the way to the end, when she completely does a little cartoon train crash: "It means that we've lost track of whose side we're on."
No, Megan, however sweet and confused you may be, the one thing they have not done is lose track of which side they are on. Indeed, the only thing they know is the side they are against. Even beheadings are not as evil as the side they are against.

Is this about how small internal differences trump larger more meaningful ones? (cf. the Judean Peoples Front vs. the Peoples Front for Judea)
Well, anonymous, I've got a dollar that says your blood pumps a lot more when it hears "Ted Cruz" than about slaughter in a synagogue.
The best example is feminists who act like it's the apocalypse when the "right" to force private people to pay for their birth control is threatened, but who make Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who fights for the most basic rights for Muslim women--education, voting, equality--a pariah.
Ted who?
Why are you putting down my good friend Megan? She makes a good argument, but you seem to think it only applies to the "mainstream" media, when Megan knows it applies to all who toil in journalism, regardless of their politics.
Well, Glenn Reynolds is on my side, so I'm in good company. Maybe you can ask Mickey to mediate.
You guys need to get out more often
