“Outside the Tent” Not Dead After All

Filed under: Dog Trainer — Patterico @ 9:19 pm



In case you missed it, the “Outside the Tent” column at the L.A. Times is not dead after all.

It was just resting.

The latest installment registers a valid complaint: why does the paper never seem to find military acts of heroism worth reporting? It’s not like they don’t happen, after all.

Good point.

P.S. What are the chances I’ll get another crack at an “Outside the Tent” column?

Don’t answer that.

  1. I’ll answer it anyway. You’ll get another crack at it when you build up enough buzz. Create a sock puppet or two writing letters to the editor asking for you to do another column. Just sign them “Not Patrick”. I think the Times loves that.

  2. I think your invitation is in an envelope with the Rove indictment.

  3. Of course you’ll get another shot: they understand that criticism they are engaged in 100% censorship of someone on whom they have devoted considerable bandwidth won’t work.

  4. After falling flat on it’s face by tripping over several sock puppets, I guess “Outside the Tent” needed time to recuperate. I imagine that the LA Times hired a few psychic healers to assist in that recuperation.

    Miracle Max: It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there’s usually only one thing you can do.

    Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
