Finally gave a look through some of your original blog posts from Wayback: Amazing stuff even back then - sure wish I had discovered you (..not to mention Mr. Gilliard of course, plus a select few others) back then. But I'm mighty glad to have found your blog anyway - better late than never I guess. <br /><br />Please keep up the great writing and I hope we, your Gentle Readers can (HINT, HINT TO THE REST OF YOU), can pony up some pennies to send your way, to help feed you to feed our habit of reading your fine writing & 'Shopping. <br /><br />Cheers and Happy "BV" day!<br /><br />-mike from CA<br />p.s.

If he spends some time spreading that manure, then when someone finally confronts him, he will be able to attack his attacker for not having the humility he has been harping about. A simple deflection while knocking the goalposts aside, with an ad hominem attack, and the attack on his intelligence suddenly becomes proof that his last few months of articles are right. <br /><br />Another possibility is that one of his paymasters got on his case for shoveling the poo too thick. Since the people he (and his ilk like Tom Friedman) write for tend to be shallow, venal narcissists, all this humble nattering about humility in a bowing posture must seem very contrite. There may have been a threat to his pay, and this posturing is to protect it. <br /><br />If the humility masturbation ends in the next big-item news cycle, then the situation is the latter. However, I have a feeling it's the former. <br /><br />Mike.K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-9985905840681523132013-04-01T21:10:19.262-05:002013-04-01T21:10:19.262-05:00Humility. . .
