No as this may be the first thing I've seen that is literally Totally Unreadable (and I occasionally have to review portions of the US Tax code).

The same guy was responsible for this abortion from April, in which he belched out over 2000 words to say literally nothing about his nominal topic whatsoever.

It's a distinct possibility that Al isn't even the worst thing about BCB.

You just don't understand, man.  You didn't read closely enough to catch all the nuance that's just oozing out of it.

Seriously...
what a bunch of garbage that's been posted today.  Clearly the bar is being lowered dramatically for content on BCB.

This was actually a very thoughtful article
And makes sense as a counterpart to much of the frustration that has been brewing here of late.

THANK YOU!
Someone who gets it, who read past the headline.

QuoteI strongly encourage anyone who has an opinion to write it out. Writing is very good therapy. It's good practice at a skill that we otherwise ignore. Writing a thousand-word piece on a topic, of any sort, probably makes you a better writer, which would likely be a good thing.

Mr. Telander in the Sun Times speaks out with moral indignation about O.J. Simpson's crimes,

"There are few athletes, current or past, I dislike more than Lance Armstrong.

I'm not talking about outright bad guys, such as O.J. Simpson — whom I spoke with several times before those unfortunate murders and always found to be cordial and helpful"

Unfortunate murders?  That's serious condemnation.  Maybe you should re-think that, Rick.

He means as opposed to fortunate murders.
C'mon Stew, it's nuance and he's a master of his craft.

Although that craft may be the Titanic.

"Those unfortunate murders" doesn't say anything about Simpson's participation.  Just what exactly are you suggesting here, Stew?

I like that he goes out of his way to give OJ credit for being cordial and helpful.
