At least someone in these ET forums, besides myself, is interested in these issues. I think this statement of yours: "Popper and Soro's [sic] also support a quantifiable scientific approach to innovation in society", may be quite wrong. (Notice I wrote "may" not "is") So I would like you to...

That was hilarious! Williams does a great job of capturing the essence of Buckley. I used to watch Firing Line regularly. I wonder what it would be like growing up in the Buckley household. Seems you'd be laughing so hard most of the time you'd not be able to get anything done. I read a book...

Please at least give me proper credit. I didn't call Ms Palin a "lovable asshole", she is obviously something else, wouldn't you say?

He did seem to be trying a little too hard to sound upper crust; yet I suspect he did it naturally without thought. A little bizarre, don't you think?

I can't really disagree with any of that, despite Buckley excelling at assholeness. He was an enigma, and a quite delightful one.

He was always very confident that he was right.

That's, at the least, inventive, and it could even be right. Why else would he bother with blacks? (I mean from his point of view, of course.)

He had valuable insight. It's the way he said things that rankled.

Well to be fair, I described him as a "lovable asshole". Whenever he thought his opponent might be getting the upper hand by revealing a weakness in his argument he would often hurl back a personal insult. And he was hopelessly condescending. It was by no means just Vidal that riled him. But...

Trump should join a black gospel choir until after November 8th, and say, "I love 'chitlins'! Nobody loves 'chitlins' more than I do. Everybody says so!."

Thanks should go posthumously to that asshole William Buckley, but one who was both entertaining and lovable, for using the perfect word to describe 'The Donald.' He must have realized that a perfect fit to his word would eventually spring onto the stage of American presidential politics...

Yah, we all did. ;)

Ha ha ha ha.

Happy to: Conflict of interest examples: Prosecutor promotion or salaries tied to conviction rates. Impoundment and confiscation of private property without due process and subsequent sale of confiscated property for benefit of law enforcement agencies. For profit incarceration. Fines...

He's rather obviously a shameless publicity hound.

Bharara better move fast with an indictment. It will be too late for him after Jan 20th, 2017. After that it would be up to the Senate, and with the new Democrat controlled Senate there's not much hope for Hillary getting her 2017 Thanksgiving turkey dinner in jail. And if she doesn't dine in...

Of course, being logical, I had no choice but to read this book. Ordered it from Amazon this am. It's your fault. ;)

There are very serious problems having to do with conflicts of interest throughout the United States Justice System, both civil and criminal, from the Federal level on down to the state and local levels. These have only just begun to be addressed in any meaningful way. Bernie Sanders is the...

Perhaps Yogi Berra is more like it.;)
