more madness

Having survived the Memorial Day marathon of old war movies ; TCM had better ones than AMC, other than Patton and Longest Day the usual AMC rotation of war movies is pretty bleh, River Kwai on the other hand as the excellent ending with "Madness!". Upon which I provide the amusing and ever accelerating departure of "conservatives" from political theater with this line:

"As for appealing to people, if I say I have a very large following in broadcast and print media, the likely response would be, “well, what does that have to do with the substance of my criticism.”"

Uh. Yes, what does that have to do with the substance? Who cares how many people listen dutifully to what you are saying, the question is still "does what you say mean anything outside the echo chamber in which you exist?" or "is what you are saying based on anything other than the fact that you have a microphone in your face and people are listening to you?". You know like reason and facts?
