This piece i...I read it several times myself, Bec. This piece is the BEST thing Burge has done in a while, and that's saying a LOT. The man is <I>gifted</I>. <BR/><BR/>A funny thing: the right has Burge, Lileks, and <A HREF="http://www.scrappleface.com//" REL="nofollow">Ott</A>... just to name three. And the Left has... who? Now there might be a Leftie satire site out there... somewhere. I'm just not aware of it. Wait. I forgot. Jon Stewart. Nevermind.<BR/><BR/>On another subject. I was pretty disappointed that you and Sharon were the only folks that followed the link and read this. But I know Site Meter sometimes lies... or fails to tell the whole truth, by omission. Still and even, all indications are it was just you two. Pity, that.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-87356657498661691532008-08-30T15:45:00.000-06:002008-08-30T15:45:00.000-06:00I read the whole eight books.
