Mark Reynolds Produces The Crapiest Op-Ed Of All Time?

Anybody here think there's any reason at all to explain why this is an unmitigated piece of crap?

He is upset he isn't on Obama's Christmas card list? For the most part it was incoherent rambling about some sort of freakish human splicing project he must be working on. Then when he got to the point (well at least kinda to the point) he had nothing of value or use to say. Got me on this one.

I vote that you stop linking to unmitigated pieces of crap.

I further vote that you stop READING unmitigated pieces of crap.

Actually, that first one might be a good policy for not only reducing your blogtime but also making the time you spend doing it more worthwhile. I know both are goals of yours.

Couldn't get through it. The writing is just too disorganized, like, I suspect, his mind.

I bet he preached that as a sermon first and then got paid for it again.

Wow.

So, over that last week I've put in about 48 hours helping to write a $3M proposal for government funding (time over and above my usual work, mind you). To be precise, I have:
* Read through about 60 pages of Federal "instructions" and "guidelines";
* Plowed through 20+ pages of proposal text written by either engineers or MBAs;
* Tried decipher three government forms, including a "budget justification" Excel workbook with (I am not making this up) 10 different inter-related worksheets; and
* Struggled with a "streamlined" on-line proposal submission service that has one dealing with (I believe) four different databases, each with a unique userid, pasword, and GUI; not one of which can work (it seems) if any of the other three is down.

We succeeded. The proposal seems to have gone in successfully.

So, I come home, pour myself a drink, and relax with the blogs. I innocently follow WS's link from the post, and the link from Montag’s comment.

Then I try to read them.

Now my head hurts.

I think I can get what Cohen was saying:

Shorter Richard Cohen “It’s OK that people I don’t know and who aren’t like me got tortured and held under inhuman conditions for years ... after all, I was scared! You were scared too, right? Of course you were! Right? ... Right??!!?!?!?”

But "John Mark Reynolds" is really just the pseudonym of a bunch of monkeys with typewriters, right? ... Right??!!?!?!?

Maybe I'll just finsih my drink and go to bed.

Good night!
