“Whenever he’s asked, Carlson will happily admit the lofty goals he’s set for the site. It’s got to fill the gap that the ‘pathetic’ media has left in coverage of how government works. It’s got to generate buzz and drive the conversation, getting stories that other media have to chase and topping a million page-views a month, ‘although one word I’ll never use is "metric"’. It’s got to be fun. That’s the point of the foreign clocks and the random posters Carlson has placed around the office. But there’s the occasional strange found object that makes a greater point, like the photo of a joyful Korean businessman perched on top of his store during the L.A. riots, holding a rifle.

‘Because he’s taken the time to defend himself with a firearm’, explained Carlson, ‘he’s not going to be victimized by the racist mobs below. He is smiling. That’s a smile that reflects both his self-satisfaction and also the promise of America. The promise of America is "We’ll let you do what you want, as long as you defend yourself". I just love that. I’ve had that over every desk I’ve ever had as an adult’.”
