Let’s play “Spot the Loony”.

I went round and round with a friend who is becoming for the first time, shall we say, politically aware. He is convinced that because of their passion, the nirthers are on to something. I had to explain that just because you feel strongly about something does not mean you’re right. For his education, he is reading books by pundits—not history. I prevailed on him that the pundit literature is little more than 300-page editorials and that he read more early history of this country—that will help him put things in a better perspective.
