1) Would you say you're more, or less, opinionated than other people?

2) Hey, thanks for pointing out that it's biased. I might have gone the rest of my life believing slate.com was a fair and balanced news source.

3) Unfortunately it's biased toward the side you're supposed to be on (pretty moderate liberalism), and it still thinks you're one of them.

4) And Slate writers are about a dozen times smarter than you.

5) I would be horrified at the suggestion (from anyone, really, except you) that I was either a hopeless conservative hick or shared qualities with hopeless conservative hicks. But then, I'm not the one the article's describing. You are.

6) And thanks a lot for demonstrating how bow'ls isn't a real usage, how the "renegade poet comedians" you hate now are somehow different from the stuffy bastions of conservative poetry you hated a few months ago, or anything else to justify anything in this post. You're a total clod when it comes to arguing anything.
