I read it a lot because it serves as a news aggregate but only post to argue if i'm bored or someone says something really stupid

Coming back around to this, I get a lot of my news from D&D threads. Is there a better way to go about this? It's usually the best way to get facts right about a news item because everyone's pissing all over themselves trying to prove this point or that, but it would be nice to show up to a discussion with a relatively educated opinion in hand.

Yay, a debate. :neckbeard:

Bill Kristol: dumb person, or the dumbest person? posted:

So it has come to this. Again policy personality Bill Kristol stands in the crossfire of the public eye. Of course, one cannot deny that he is a polarizing personality in todays' emotionally charged political landscape. However: His advice, how inconvenient it may be, often has has nuggets of truth buried within his often lengthy prose. The fact that he is one of the most cited persons in newspapers, television and scientific journals is a testament to that. But can we really listen to such a polarizing person in uncertain times like this? We can and we should even. The tug of war between opposing view points has to end and it is only people like Bill Kristol who are able to do so. Or, more to the point: Public policy isn't a pageant. The faux-intellectual criticism of Kristol's work by the left is as absurd as it is harmful. Their crude antics should not be a factor in today's America. And this America sufferes from many problems, but they are structural problems, not a series of temporary unpleasantries.

And now I will look up who that actually is.

We're still not 100% sure exactly what was in the cocktail that quack Morell was giving him, though amphetamines are almost certain of course, so maybe? I've heard it more often heard his sorta-vegetarian diet being high in things what make you toot like a steamboat. Or did you mean the bad breath?
