I can tell you from watching the show that these are all relevant and interconnected topics. Do you think that just because it doesn't fit into your nice little blog format that it isn't totally pertinent? These are the issues that effect Americans like you and me every day and until someone else brings these issues to the table I think it's my duty to engage people in a discourse that is a little more valuable than sucking up to the Salon staff or praising the glorious Keith for doing exactly what he gets paid to do by the Corporate Hegemon. In fact, that is precisely why Keith would loose in your proposed battle! Keith is only an instrument of his handlers so he cannot be expected to fight without some sort of heads up display of the time in the fight or an assistant waving him toward his opponent’s vulnerable areas! He'd just come out all smart and independent, but in the end the Factor and Batman would bring his flaccid ass to the curb with nothing more than good old fashioned conservative moxie. I should also add that the utility belt gives an unfair advantage because the other two weapons are only good for bludgeoning and the utility belt has a wide assortment of wires and diversionary devices that can be used to trip and confuse. Even if Keith had a projectile weapon like throwing stars or a crossbow, he would only get one of his opponents before he had to reload and then batman would get him or pop smoke and render his weapon useless. In the end I think the spread would be (maybe a Factor casualty fluke, being that he’s such a big lumbering target) but definitely a Batman 2-1 victory.
