"and did you see the lizards clear?"

Other of his theories seem like legitimate news analysis gone completely awry, like his contention that the stock market is outright "rigged" by a smug Ivy-League elite happily defrauding the common investor. Is this just a slightly-overblown complaint about the often-manipulative practices of analysts and Wall Street insiders? No, it's not: he seems to imagine "them" sitting around in buttoned-leather armchairs drinking brandy and actually physically rigging the market.

Also in a conversation about child-abusing priests I said something about their screwed-up religious sexualization coming through in cases where there's a religious component to the abuse (one made kids hold a crucifix and masturbate, another made them confess to him post- abuse, another had kids eat communion wafers with err something extra on top) and he stubbornly argued for the rest of the evening that this had nothing to do with sexual psychology but that they were just flat-out sadists who sat around concocting these bizarre acts for the sole purpose of maximizing the children's torment.

Granted, none of these are incredibly bizarre (the last is sort of a matter of interpretation), but constant exposure makes up for it. (And why would you read the newspaper if you believed, as he must to defend certain positions, that the newspaper was either lying to you or was completely in the dark about the actual workings of the world?)

I read the times just to pass the time and to laugh at the positions that they have on certain issues. That's all.

Anyway, didn't you know that the sport news section is the only news actually worth reading!

Calvinism.
