But on a blog post? NO ONE is that lazy. I could sort of understand that in Twitter, where the 140 character limit can sometimes cause extreme compression of details. But on a blog post?

Thomas is a hack extraordinaire and a chickenhawk deluxe. He and I have had a personal disagreement over the 'gentrification' of my neighborhood. Specifically - he doesn't like the building style of the Costco, Home Depot and MainCor buildings at Main and Linwood, two blocks from my apartment. I don't give a rat's ass that his sense of asthetics are offended, because where those businesses are now, we used to have an overgrown vacant lot, fenced off and inhabited by junkies and a pack of feral dogs. Seriously. Twice a year he writes an 800 word screed about the architecture of that development. The Star keeps firing personnel, and this idiot never gets the axe. It's unbelievable. E.

The tea parties were a failure, so now comes the desperate spin which also leads, alack and alas, to more Republican fail. It's like their version of gravity. Well played O-dub.

It’s like their version of gravity.

This is, to put it mildly, charitable. And embarrassingly sloppy. Heaven help Prof. Reynold's students if he's this sloppy professionally. Especially seeing as he finally takes the time to compose something to defend himself against your charges of racism. With complete sentences! And profanity! And everything! It's really depressing to watch him sink into his role as a PJTV shill. I used to read him for some of the useful links, like Carnival of the Recipes. Now, he's just a mess.
