Mostly an excuse to share the Neiwert link
Reading David Neiwert's further take down of Jonah Goldberg's drivel, and comically horrified to discover that Goldberg has the absolute gall to consider Neiwert an "ankle-biter" I figured I'd share with him what real "ankle-biting" looks like. Jonah, a reasoned and thorough destruction of your entire thesis is less "ankle-biting" and more "head-lopping-off." Ankle-biting is more like going into a bookstore and redistributing copies of your pamphlet into much more appropriate - or at least fitting - sections of the establishment.
