i happened to turn on the michael medved show on my way home today, and had the unfortunate privilege of hearing him attempt to have a 'discussion' with al franken. now, say what you will about whether al franken actually has anything intelligent to say (and you can pretty well guess what i think about that), but it was not even an issue, because mr. franken was (and usually is, from what i can gather) uncivil to the point of absurdity. i would say that listening to him was like listening to a kindergartener, but i feel that that would be giving him too much credit.
as a completely unrelated aside, i am beginning to grow tired (ok, i began a long time ago and the tiredness is reaching an advanced stage) of the use of the word 'ideology' every 5 seconds everywhere i turn my ears. thus, i shall now substitute the word 'ideography' in every context in which one might think it the appropriate time to use the word 'ideology'.
well, at least i will substitute it in my own head, anyway.
