I was going to post “This kid gets beat up in school a lot. I know this for a fact,” but then I saw your post which, well… never mind.
“Wikipedia hagiography” - heh. I’m sitting here snorting out loud (snoling?). 
Considerably more disturbing is the distinct possibility that M. Krohn is, at this very moment (assuming he’s not roiling rubes at a Tea Party or coiled at Rush Limbaugh’s slippered feet, contentedly grooming himself) somewhere within three or four miles of where I sit.
If only reality could be altered as easily as a Wikipedia page.
I’ve been whooshed… :eek:
“Wikipedia hagiography”? 
:p:D
Fascinating is all I can say…
Is there a term for such a gift of gab? I’m reminded of those pint sized preachers from the last century, who were word fierce and had a career of it at the age of 7 or 9.
Huh. He looks a lot like my cousin, who was also given to precocious punditry, although his parents didn’t inflict him on the world at large.
Yes, they are called bullshit artists, they raise bullshitting to an art form 
IMHO, they allow “this.” That’s what.
They didn’t murder it at birth?
Maybe they took pity on it and set it on a hillside somewhere, where some wandering neo cons took pity on it.
Maybe next time they’ll listen when the oracle lays down a prophecy.
This kid, and everything he represents, turns my stomach. And I’d feel exactly the same way if he were a Liberal.
I wonder if this kid is gonna drop that shit when he discovers being a blowhard pundit won’t get him laid after prom.
I wish I’d known it when I was his age.
He reminds me of Ernesto in the comic strip Cul de Sac.
Up there among the stupidest aphorisms I’ve ever heard.
I get terribly annoyed with people who haven’t yet entered their second decade talking resolutely about anything and lecturing adults. Even when they’re not trying to, they come off as smarmy.
I thought he has entered his second decade? He’s in his teens, right?
From what I’ve heard from him, his speeches are too content-free to be any kind of lecture.
Ah well. Run for the middle. Compromise on everything. See where that has gotten us.
I’m not particularly criticising the principle, just the aphorism. ISTM you get “run over” being in the middle of the road if you are on foot on a road dominated by motorised traffic. And that isn’t “middle of the road” behaviour, it’s unusual behaviour. So the aphorism doesn’t make sense.
Besides the fact that cars don’t drive down the middle of the road, they drive on the left and right. So the middle of the road is the safest place to be, unless you get off the road altogether.
Try driving on the sidewalk and see where that gets you.
