As I reported earlier, tiresome, still-not-quite-dead-although-frankly-who-can-tell neo-con blogger Steven den Beste recently unburdened himself of a particularly limp “meditation” on why our side should never gloat over our wins, cuz it makes liberals reluctant to throw their support behind us.

A crappy old plant with inadequate safety features was hit by a monster earthquake and a vast tsunami. The electricity supply failed, knocking out the cooling system. The reactors began to explode and melt down. The disaster exposed a familiar legacy of poor design and corner-cutting. Yet, as far as we know, no one has yet received a lethal dose of radiation.
