I can't say that I see the point of asking Joel, as he offered little of substance (maybe this is where the "daily humor" part of his headline comes from?). Anyway, he offered a lot more dire predictions than empirical evidence that would justify such predictions. But I've come to expect that from people of his obvious political persuasion... -Jason
He was being silly. That was the point. Yes, he's liberal, but he's making fun of liberals and their tendency to go over-the-top when attacking their opponents. Perhaps I should have pointed out that his is a mostly humor-based blog.
I see. It was easy for me to believe that he was being serious because Molly Ivins and Paul Krugman spout the same stuff all the time, but they MEAN it. The clarification is appreciated. -Jason
