This is pathetic. I write and edit college-level American government textbooks for a living. Xterrapin, your myopia isn't even worth my energy. Keep up the "intellectual" masturbation if it makes you feel better though. Just don't get any cum stains on your copy of the New Republic or The Nation; your wife might get jealous.

A couple of questions: Do you really own an X? I thought those big, bad SUVs were helping the terrorists win. Indeed, is this just another indictment of your fundamental hypocrisy?
