MATT HABER'S HEADS-UP
Everybody loves Wonkette -- and for good reason: She gives good head. In other words, she's got brains (and a great sense of humor). But Matt Haber at Low Culture belongs right there with her, maybe ahead of her.
Consider the item he posted the other day, "conspiracy-a-ga-ga", taking the New York Post's Page Six to task for its "powerful revelation" that "conspiracy theorists are buzzing about John Kerry's connection to Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK assassination":
Whoa. Do you really want to play this game, Page Six? Crumple up that tin-foil hat before someone reminds you that "conspiracy theorists" have been "buzzing" for years that John Hinckley's brother, Scott, was allegedly scheduled to have dinner with Bush's brother, Neil, the night John shot Reagan in 1981!
Haber knows his way around the Web (those are his links).
Some dude even went so far as to tie Hinckley's attempt on Reagan with Kennedy's assassination by claiming that Reagan was "shot from the Bushy knoll"!And he's nobody's mark:
Wow. See how fucking stupid I sound saying this stuff? Elevating these wackadoos to even the most carefully vetted legitamacy, lowers a writer to, well, a fucking idiot.
Hell, Haber's got brains, humor, and the conscience of a saint. (So what if he has a spelling problem -- that's "legitimacy," Matt.)
Full disclosure: The man grills a mean sausage, too.
