Sigh. Not that the points aren't valid, but that last post really comes off as amateur hour, doesn't it?

I really respect those folks that can scan six or seven papers a day, every day, and make sense of the results. When I try to chase down an impression, I'll do the work, but it's a matter of chasing what comes in front of me, not scanning the same sources consistently.

In other words, when it comes to sources, I'm a searcher, not a browser.

Hrm. Andrew Sullivan is talking up Clark. I suppose I ought to go read some Clark transcripts or something. I tend to take my politicians at several removes, which makes me a bit impervious to details like charisma and eloquence. I've found it's the only way to tolerate Bush, for instance.
