I also abhor irrationalism in argumentation. I welcome comments and debate, and I’ll defend my positions vigorously. Yet in friendship, you’ll find no one more trustworthy nor loyal; in battle you’ll find an umatched competitor whose tactical elan would make Machiavelli proud.
Donald Douglas, artist’s conception:
Masterful, masterful. (I must deduct a half point for neglecting to mention how much he can bench press and how many black belts he has, but it’s important to save some ammo for the next engagement.) Do read – as the old song goes – the whole thing.
People ask us: “why do you blog?” For this, we say. This is why we blog.

I’m confused. Is that photo of Michael Moore, or Al Gore?

Well, it wasn’t exactly Jeff Goldstein, but we can’t all be masters of the universe (imagined)

I’m sensing in Left Blogsylvania a return to the general crankiness of years past. About fucking time.

Too bad Prof Douglas will never see this – according to his blogger profile, the only blog he follows is his own.

In no sense of the word do I condescend to retarded friggin’ Republikooks. I call them denigrating names and makes faces. To do more would offend my dignity.
