[Mark Thibodeau]

I didn't call him an idiot. I called him a "Useful Idiot".

In political jargon, a useful idiot is a derogatory term for a person
perceived as a propagandist for a cause of whose goals they are not
fully aware and who is used cynically by the leaders of the
cause.[1][2] The term was originally used during the Cold War to
describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist
propaganda and manipulation.[1]

In all fairness to Glem, he's probably not even that... but I choose
to leave him a bit of wiggle room so I don't have to believe that he's
a COMPLETE moral monster and philosophically bankrupt propagandist for
a truly sinister and ascendant global conspiracy.

As for who am I to judge? Just someone who's been reading this goof's
stuff since the days when he was DEFENDING the invasion of Afghanistan
AND IRAQ (ffs), as well as the worst excesses of Preznit Dubya's
Homeland Security and T.H.E.U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T.A.C.T. legislation.
Remember that?

As to me being useless, I confess, it's true. I'll cop to that.

Cheers!
