If I ever get in a serious political argument, remind me to quote Vanity Fair.

You obviously didn't read the article.
8 pages of truth too much for you?
Or is it that the complete lack of opinion and bias in the article made it too boring for your tastes?

RDixon, what's with all the prejudice lately?

Nic's reply is right in line with his previous postings:

Nic probably read all 8 pages nodding his head the whole time. But just because he agrees with the article you posted doesn't mean he has to take your side.

By the way, interesting article. I read half of it, I might finish it later. No article completely lacks opinion and bias, but this one hides it pretty well.

Maybe his post wasn't meant to be a snarky quip against Vanity Fair and, by proxy me, for posting the link to it?

I guess we'll never know unless he follows up with another post.

If he didn't mean it the way I read it; I'm not to big to apologize.

Snarky?

Not me, and for sure not about U.

Interesting read. I've realized for years that my country wasn't run by politicians anymore, but rather by money and business, but this really brings it all to light. Especially SAIC.
