Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
I've been very amused by the various attacks of late on 538 by statisticians criticizing his methodology. Part of it is his smugness, for which he deserves to eat crow, and the rage of entitlement he displays towards his critics. Yeah, past successes are acknowledged and all that, but some humility, no-chin.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

- from a review of Thomas Friedman's latest collection of random words“I went into journalism because I love being a translator from English to English,” he asserts in his opening paragraph, and interpreted literally what he is saying is that he enjoys doing work that is wholly unnecessary.

Sexual harassment is abhorrent in the abstract, but the thought of that jowly light-bulb head proposition women is nauseating. I suppose that really does emphasize his power—I am utterly unattractive and have a nasty personality, but I can still do this to you. Wonder what role he'll have in the White House in a month or so?

The most disgusting thing I have ever heard is when sexting messages came out from a relationship between the former MO house leader (state level) and an intern. He wrote something to the effect of "I can't wait to make you quiver." He is pictured below. I am dry heaving just thinking about it.
Got a Rake? Sure!
