Not the first time, of course, and I will open a book on when he is back. But, this seems a little, a trifle bit more serious than the others.

The points he makes are all perfectly valid, of course.

I don't like the Randy in Boise essay because it seems to justify cabal behavior. Of course, every policy gets gamed. And beyond that, I don't see why it is necessary to make fun of Boise.

As much as I like Giano, he has a touch of the anti-American bug, in that smug way Europeans who feel themselves superior do.

Everything considered I agree it is so unfair.
