Stuff we were wrong about

Our speculation that Andrew Sullivan might decide to spare his new readers at Time.com some of the more graphic content of his stand-alone blog has not worked out. We won't go into details, but Mickey Kaus gets things about right with his 2 sentence discussion of the phenomenon: From Warblogger to Wartblogger!

Kaus also describes Sully as seeming "close to unhinged" on his demand that newspapers should be actively looking to publish the Danish cartoons. Notwithstanding some strange undertones to past Kaus criticism of Sully, we think he's right in this case. Speaking of the cartoons, we were also wrong in speculating that the tale of the recalled student newspapers in Cardiff, due to the presence of the cartoons therein, would be billed as Islamic mob rule. As far as we can tell, given our limited tolerance for reading the blogs that wallow in this stuff, it hasn't.
