Nothing to See Here – Arrant Nonsense edition

  • Via Atrios, you know why I love the Brits? Because a) they’re grownups and b) they’re friggin’ literate. To wit:
    The Home Secretary has warned that American-style openness over the al-Qaeda threat risked exposing politicians to ‘ridicule’, and dismissed calls for him to supply more details to the British public as ‘arrant nonsense’. #

    Man. I’ve never said something was arrant nonsense. I can’t wait to use it in a conversation. Or a blog post. #

  • Josh Marshall dismantles the arrant nonsense in Doug Feith’s WaPo OpEd (which, be forewarned, crashed my browser… Freudian glitch, mayhaps?). This dovetails with this article on the broad scope of our war, which I mentioned the other day.
  • Kevin Drum thinks the suggestion that the Department of Homeland Security plays politics is arrant nonsense.
  • More on the outing of Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan from Sid the Fish and from the indispensable Juan Cole (and here!). Arrant nonsense.
  • John Nichols at The Nation has an interview with John Kerry in which Kerry admits that he reads as many as nine newspapers a day and dismisses the network’s refusal to cover the Democratic Convention in depth as arrant nonsense (though not, admittedly, in so many words).
