Old Yeller

MANIFESTO

Unfortunately you can only read the first 1/3 or so of Matt Taibbi's latest article online, but he pretty much sums it up in the first sentence anyway.
Following the Republican Party of late has been a movingly depressing experience, sort of like watching Old Yeller die — if Old Yeller were a worm-infested feral bitch who spent the past eight years biting children at bus stops and shitting in neighborhood swimming pools.
Taibbi is just one reason why the random subscription I started getting to Rolling Stone has become one that I look forward to receiving - and their free subscription that they gave me will definitely turn into a renewal.

Taibbi, of course, a magnificent writer. His Great Derangement is a must read in my estimation.

Apparently, he was also instrumental in "Get Your War On"--a great favorite of readers of this blog.

Other works of his can be found here.

Agreed. Taibbi's periodic appearances on "Real Time With Bill Maher" are also worth seeking out.
