    I know self-important gasbaggery when I see it. Apparently some people like that kind of thing.

    You're not being honest, Tony, and you know it. You don't like it because you think it's overwritten. You don't like it because of the subject matter. Ann Coulter is an atrocious writer, yet you adore her, don't you?

    No apparently about it.

    Well, looking over her latest column I don't see anything approaching a 111-word sentence.

    And this paragraph is absolute gold:
    "And now Bill Clinton has wrecked Hillary's campaign, too. He's like the creepy guy who graduated last year but still hangs around the high school cafeteria chatting up sophomores."

    Yes. What a wonderful simile.

    To me, being liberal means being open-minded, thoughtful and reflective. Pierce is, as this well-written piece shows.

    Mizzougrad is not, as years of posts show even better.

    It certainly gets the point across, doesn't it?

    So does a 'stop' sign, but it can't really be called writing, can it?

    And since I don't think last year's graduates are allowed to hang around high school cafeterias chatting up sophomores in any case, it doesn't really matter.

    Is Bill Simmons ghostwriting for Ann Coulter?

    I'll take a one-word sentence over a 111-word sentence every day of the week.
