But I do post on BB, and usually their Canuckistani socialist leanings stroke me just right -- guess I'm just one of them idiots! I can also think of a few good reasons to find fault with the USAF, this one just doesn't happen to be one of them, on good historical and linguistic grounds.
It's not entirely a bad thing to have a knee-jerk reaction to things, I guess; better than no nerve reflex at all.
He's not being sarcastic; as much as I dearly love Peter, I sometimes suspect that his RSS reader has about 200 tech blogs and Lew Rockwell (http://lewrockwell.com). There might be just a few too many red diaper trust fund babies at Reason (http://www.reason.com) for his taste.
