#1 This is a stupid column. The guy is all over the place. I sure wish there was an excerpt posted here instead of just a blank "who knows what you're going to get" link.

#2 An excerpt in this case wouldn't have captured the gist nor the flavor of that column, the author of which is not as well known as other posters at that site. Fortunately, one only need click a single link to read the whole thing.

#3 Ãðîìêèé or Gromky (Loud) - or adjective
1.loud
2.big
3.clarion
4.strong
5.ringing
6.sounding
7.high-sounding
8.sonorous
9.vociferous
10.loud-mouthed
11.altisonant
12.full-mouthed

The point of all this blather is Liberals equal con artists.

Gromky, agreed, we need an introductory paragraph to "wet the intellectual appetite" and see if the article or opinion is worth reading.

#4 Tipper never bothers to post even a brief quote from posted links. I don't follow them as I won't have my time wasted.

#5 A boil-down for our chronic complainers:

The secret to instant wealth is to spot a mass delusion and bet against it. The Tulip Craze. Florida swamp land. Global warming. Mad Cow. The Chevy Volt (electric cars). ZeroCare. Bee Colony Collapse disease. Flesh-eating bacteria. Flu virus.

Making money from liberal delusions: "The nonprofit sector". Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme on liberal charities. The 'racism' industry. Fannie and Freddie. GE and the guvmint. The Green Movement and 'green' industries. Environmental regulation. Regulation in general.

"Liberal gullibility is the most biggest resource in the world. All you have to do is spot the latest crazes and place your bets the other way. In the long run, you can't lose, because reality always wins in the end. The only question is when those bubbles will pop."

Excalibur, I love people who make broad statements. I'd love to tell you why, but I won't. Let's just say it's an excellent method of assessing people.

#7 Tipper, while I'm not going to go upside your head as Excalibur did, I will say a little lead-in does help with getting oriented as to what the link might be.

Yours are usually pretty good, so I'm not complaining, just saying.

#8 The 'Burg is kind of a DIY project. Any commenter is free to post a summary of the article or quote excerpts once it has been posted. This means you.
