A couple points to add:

It’s really more the “I could win that war...” that gets me. I.

Counterpoint: I made sure to read an article on baseball, because it was penned by Mr. Ratto. He can write about bowling or tiddlywinks or basketball, and I’ll read that too.

So we agree that what seems ridiculous to the uninitiated, when explained in context becomes more significant?

I do believe that as much as Bob Murray and Doug Wilson and Ron Francis and Jim Nill and a bunch of others are colleagues and peers and respect each other and shoot the shit when they talk on the regular about this and that, that Jim Benning isn’t part of that club entirely, he doesn’t sit at the cool kids table at…

Now you got me jonesing for the pork tenderloin ravioli that a local restaurant got us all hooked on, and then took off the menu because the chef thought it was too much of a bother.  Sigh...

I can’t believe this is as of yet uni-stellar.

Marge’s words of wisdom predate the incel movement; at worst, she prophesied its rise.

I wasn’t arguing against you, I was commenting with you, on the irony of their principles against buyouts.

Yeah, Murray Edwards is a great libertarian and champion of free enterprise who loathes anyone getting a handout, a free lunch.

(Shouldn’t Ron Mexico pay for John Wall, come to think of it?)

Yep, there’s various ways to mess around with those statements.
