    Don't fence me in

    While some of us are trying to help bring clarity and focus to the importance of clear-headed rationalism (thank you Zylos), others are busy trying get us to be "relevant" and "germane" while flinging red herrings about mythical battles between talk show hosts and comic book heroes. I mean, come on! What's next Mr. Smackwater? A hypothetical battle between a unicorn and Paula Poundstone?

    Clearly Ms. Poundstone would win. But that's not the issue. The point is that it's all interconnected. The sooner we come to understand that we're all breathing the same air, the better off we'll be. And as long as Olbermann has a platform from which to corrupt the public unconciousness, we're all in grave danger of becoming slippery-minded no-goodniks.

    So to you, Mr. Smackwater, I say "good day!"

    Selah.
