The Blogosphere is watching...

This just cracked me up. A blogger who writes under the name Karen has been following the goings on with Molyneux, The Guardian, Liberating Minds, Sonia Mansour-Robaey, and more. Just because it's fun to watch.

She's very witty. I love seeing this through her perspective.

This link goes to her main page, which as of this writing has her fourth post on the topic. The rest are under "FDR–Not Just Another Evil Statist."

I am behind on writing about books. I have been caught up in an Internet drama, and watching two rival websites react to a newspaper article attacking one of them. The other website is populated by people who have been banned from the first. It’s very exciting. Lots of people are sputtering and indignant, and it’s better than television. My favorite part so far is that a gossip and fashion blog has gotten in on the action, and all the women who usually be shoppin’ are now sitting around chattin’. It’s way cool.

The offended party? Liberating Minds.
The offending party? Freedomain Radio.
The newspaper? The Guardian.
The women? Jezebel.

I like this bit so much that I want to take it on a date, fool around with it on the backseat of a car, drive to Vegas and get married

I agree with her completely it is fun to watch (and participate.) Particularly the Mises dialogue!

Back at ya Karen!
Regarding the question of banning. I tuned into this program because I
was happy to see someone criticize a website that I had already decided
was full of itself, and for the worst reasons. So I am biased against
Freedomain Radio, and it was frankly a delight to find Liberating
Minds. (Thanks, Freedomain members for linking to that site in several
places.) Liberating Minds is the underdog, and who doesn’t like an
underdog?

An underdog only in numbers. We all know the real thinkers are here Smile
