Many of my friends, on both the left and right, have recently gone nuts. The anger and vitriol on both sides is, simply stated, over the top. Ill-founded accusations, ad hominem attacks, and inventing ghosts of evil pervade the blogosphere.

I've recently been tempted to post reactions to what I've seen, both here and in comments on other sites. But I've restrained myself for fear of insulting friends.

But some of you guys need to know, you've gone nuts. I'll see you in a week and a half.
