YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

Jesse/Michelle have been spending a lot of time whining about the Pulitzer Prize for photojournalism. Athenae has quite a post up on the topic - angry, accusatory, and every single word of it the gospel truth.

What's the matter, don't like looking at your pretty war, Michelle? Pictures of the dead and wounded don't get you off anymore, Powerline? Guess what? Freedom isn't free.

You're awfully fond of that slogan, aren't you? Freedom isn't free.

So why aren't you using these photos in your "support the troops" rallies? Why aren't you using them to remind us all what a solemn and glorified endeavor this war really is? Why do you so hate to look at the thing you profess to love?...

Freedom isn't free, you say, giving me the impression that whatever other xenophobic homophobic fundie whackjob tendencies you harbored, at least you understood that for your bravado somebody pays a price. I hope you got a receipt, because it sounds like freedom's a little more expensive than you counted on. In fact freedom's so fucking expensive you can't stand to be told what market price is these days.

Go read it.
