If Biden's the guy to get this country out of trouble - seems unlikely - then you should probably get to work canvassing for him instead of concern trolling here.

Also please see Matt's excellent article on the post office media panic.

I thought that article was a huge disappointment. It seemed to suggest the post office issue was legitimate, but that we need to take it with a grain of salt because the media has been so alarmist about everything that it's hard to take them seriously. Which, sure, fair enough, but assailing the media's hysteria seems to be all Matt is capable of doing these days.

I would have really preferred some level of analysis of the actual allegations -- what's actually happened, what hasn't, what it actually means, etc. Instead we got installment #325 of "hey, did you know the media is sensationalist?" Matt didn't say they were even being sensationalist about the post office thing. The article's position was that we shouldn't listen to the media based on its *past* sins, hence the allusion to the Boy Who Cries Wolf. It's also worth nothing that at the end of that parable, the boy is actually telling the truth.

I don't need Matt to tell me again that the media sucks. I'd like him to apply his considerable talents to actually analyze the issue that the media is reporting.
