For you Franken lovers

[mburbank]

OAO is a conclusions first kind of guy. Then he looks for a supporting argument and he's not very choosy about them. He doesn't synthesize the heavy weight intellectual stuff he pushes, he synthesizes just enough of it for a short essay or multiple choice answer on a test. Book jacket fodder. Then he mixes it with swallowing whole anything he can surf up to agree with a current argument he's selected based entirely on being oppositional. The "Hey, I'm an asshole" approach to thinking.

Witness the 'science' he's pandered around, and now this sort of crapola.

His 'intelect' is currently of the trained monkey variety (Not that there's anything wrong with that at fifteen) but he's so impressse with it, it strikes me as unlikely he'll go farther. Added to this, his intellect lacks any rigor. If he can find something that matches his already determined conclusion, taking a look at how good a source it is, or if it can stand on it's own at all, or if it even makes sense is beside the point.

Lazy, self serving, self impressed. Not a good foundation.
