Does anyone have any info on "powerlineblog"?

I talk to this RW wacko sometimes and he's always linking to this blog. Just wondering if anyone has dug up any dirt on these cranks.

The typical logical fallacies at use.

5. It's an ugly-ass blog, too. And what kind of name is "POWER LINE"?

It sounds like a weight-lifters website. Yeah! POWER LINE, dude! We Rock!

Sample:

" Mr. President, If I May Be So Bold…

Most of our readers know the story of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at Gettysburg. Ordered to hold Little Round Top at all costs, Chamberlain’s 20th Maine fended off one attack after another. Finally, Chamberlain’s men were nearly out of ammunition and it was clear they would not be able to withstand another assault. Prudence counseled retreat, but Chamberlain’s orders forbade it. The Maine regiment could neither fall back nor stay where it was, so Chamberlain took the only course open to him: he told his men to fix bayonets and prepare to charge.

It strikes me that you, President Bush, are in a similar situation in Iraq."

There are differences, of course. Chamberlain was a military genius; George W. Bush can’t tie his shoes without the help of special “safety laces.”

Gavin adds: Shorter Hinderaker: “No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.”

" You know (if many liberals do not) that retreat is out of the question. Yet the status quo is untenable. Support for your administration’s policy is evaporating."

28 percent support, according to the latest polls.
