        Yeah, they pretty much are, in one way or another.

        To paraphrase a great man...

        If you meet somebody and think they are a wanker, they’re probably a wanker. If you think everybody you meet is a wanker, chances are that you are the wanker...

        I don't think Mr. Twain lived in Massachusetts.

        Also, I don't think Mr. Twain said that quote about assholes.

          Beethoven was known to count out coffee beans obsessively in preparing his morning waker upper.

          And yes, he had a reputation of being something of a disagreeable wanker.

              Funny you should mention. Years ago, I listened to Greenberg's biography of Ludwig. He (Beethoven, not Greenberg) was such a horrible, horrible person. The account of his dealing with his sister-in-law and the custody of his nephew made me really, really dislike the man. Granted, it was an emotional response, but it was a long time before I could enjoy his music without thinking of what an asshole he was.

                              In the interest of balance, I don't like Seth Myers, either.

                              But Tucker's facial expressions are pretty odd. Particularly for the smartest conservative commentator since William F. Buckley Jr.

                                  I try to watch the first part of his show. I figure that's the cool stuff that can get him in trouble with the SJW's.
                                  Facial expressions? I find him rather expressionless.

                                        I don't see how Carlson's tone helps to dampen the country's growing animosity toward one another. I do see how it could be pretty effective in keeping conservatives pissed off.

                                        I don't need any of that shit in my life so I don't listen.

                                        Please love yourself.
