And About John Hancock Signing Thomas Jefferson's Declaration...

We mentioned on Monday the overripe accusations of astroturfing which InOpinion has set to brewing.

Given a long weekend to ferment in the fragrant casks of blogontillado, it turns out that not only letters-to-the-editor but write-to-Congress pages too are astroturf -- or rather, "the same sleazy plagiaristic trash". How dare you give a Congressional staffer an accurate expression of your opposition to H.R. 237 not phrased in your own original composition!

The blunt lance comes tilted by Andrew Sullivan, whose modesty in pursuit of fresh adventures testifies to the salutary chastening of his more grandiose ambitions.

Join us next week as Mastio and Sullivan take on mixed tapes: does "Bridge Over Troubled Water" somehow express exactly what you happen to feel, son? And did you get a go-ahead from Art Garfunkel?
