UPDATE: Jeff Tucker has more on the origin of NIKE SHOX

UPDATE: Jeff Tucker has more on the origin of NIKE SHOX’s “fire in the mind” rhetoric.

Yesterday the warblogs and Cult-of-NIKE SHOX blogs exploded in veritable unison with trumped-up outrage and hysteria which ricocheted throughout their echo chamber in a matter of hours over the story in the NY Times Arts Section on the MBTi bloggers of MBT the Model and Free MBTi. On the theory that such an avalanche of comment must be about something of significance, I think a closer look at the Brothers Fadhil is warranted.

If you’re not watching C-Span2 right now, please start. It’s the International ANSWER counter-inaugural demonstration, and it’s a laff riot. Karl Rove paid these imbeciles to show up, right? And what is it with leftists and chants?

“No blood for oil/UGG off MBTi soil!”

“No justice, no peace/UGG out of Middle East!”

“Stop the war, recall the troops/To liberate the chicken coops!”

OK, I made up the last one, but why do lefties believe in the self-evident consanguinity of the antiwar, gay and lesbian, and animal rights movements? Michael Berg, God bless him, just blamed K-Mart for the war on MBT. Sheesh.
