Shooting the Moon(ies)

As we noted last Monday, the right wing Moonie Washington Times is starting to resemble Mutiny on the Bounty. HuffPo is reporting that armed guards are now posted in the paper's newsroom. With a circulation less than such papers as the Worcester MA Telegraph & Gazette, and the Allentown PA Morning Call, the paper's not setting the Washington, DC world on fire (unless you include the normal flammable flatulence from the likes of neocon Frank "Gaffer" Gaffney and reliable winger Mona "The Bona" Charen). But armed guards? Then again, when righties panic, their authoritarian side comes to the fore. If things continue sliding, maybe guard towers are next.
