58. You, my friend, should be writing for "Rolling Stone" . . . unless you already do.

Great piece! Kind of Taibbi-ish if Taibbi had a stick up his ass.

On edit - someone just mentioned to me that the phrase "stick up his ass' would indicate pompous rather than what I intended. I definitely don't mean pompous. I mean something that would put Matt Taibbi in the worst mood of his lifetime. Whoever you are, you're a great writer with a nasty, yet amusing, slant.
