A Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, there was a place called "The Blogosphere." And in this mystical, electronic kingdom, there was one leftist blog called Daily Kos. The king of Daily Kos was an arrogant attorney named Markos Moulitsas Zuniga. Most days, he sat alone, playing his piano, daydreaming of becoming an even bigger pianist than he already was. But alas, he quickly grew bored.

So he began to pretend he was less than a king. Sometimes, he would pretend he was the Town Crier. Other days, he would pretend he was a gallant knight, riding to the rescue of a damsel in distress. He would even play Devil's Advocate and make remarks like the following, concerning the contractors murdered in Fallujah, Iraq:

"...I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. They aren’t in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them."

The moral of the story: Never hire an attorney who can't spell "mercenaries" correctly, especially when he is one himself.
