IT'S HARD OUT THERE FOR A BLOGGER. With the GOP all unpopular and mired in apparent disarray, there's very little for a progressive writer to spend his time pushing back on. I think we here at TAPPED totally failed to acknowledge the goofy $100 rebate plan that was the Republican alternative to outlining an energy policy and now bam -- just like that -- it's dead without anyone needing the benefit of my insights. I will, however, disagree with Jonah Goldberg on this Coke Zero business; it's fine, but doesn't hold a candle to classic original Diet Coke.
