I'm not going to start blogging about Burma (or Mynamar, if you prefer the name favoured by the military regime, Russia and China) because I know sweet F.A. about what's going on there (beyond the stories of the fate of Aung San Suu Kyi that, like most people,  I've read over the years) and there is no shortage of opinion out there already. But I have noticed one thing that keeps popping up on right-wing blogs and that is that many of them are calling out prominent left wing sites for 'ignoring'  this story.  Even when they do mention it, like Lenin, the RWingers don't seem to like like the tone, as Mr Eugenides points out here.  Lenin is perfectly capable of taking care of himself and, to be frank, for him, dealing with MrE must be like shooting fish in a barrel.  The complaints would carry more weight if searches of these RW sites didn't demonstrate, in most cases, a complete absence of posts on Burma until about a week ago. 

Bandwagons, for the jumping onto, etc...
