Ta da.

TBH, my first idea was Nader, but I went with Greenwald, because he likes to stick his nose in politics when it suits him.

When I was younger, I admired Nader. Then I learned more about his infamous attack on the Chevy Corvair and Detroit cars in general, Unsafe at Any Speed. While the book probably did bring public pressure to bear on automakers and Washington to make cars safer (or less lethal, anyway), it also killed the Corvair, which GM had improved to eliminate the oversteer issues of the first model run. It was then I understood the power of propaganda and using anecdotal evidence to win an argument.

When Nader run for president, I was wholly disinterested. Like Bernie, he has some very good ideas and intentions, but he wears blinkers — and he figures he’s the smartest guy in the room. Not qualities I want in a president.
