"I loved your article! I'm not watching the Republican
convention — can't stomach it. But I've been
following the reaction from journalists I respect. On
behalf of free-thinking Americans everywhere, I thank
you for doing what you do!"
— Kathleen Kelley
"Thank you so much for dissecting the speech. I would
have rather eaten my own s*** than watched as it was
being broadcast. It was so much more palatable in
print and accompanied by your instant refutations."

"What a fantastic Shredder! I just read it and I was
sitting here at my desk at work CRYING cause I was
laughing so hard. You were on the MONEY. It was great.
Good work!"

Once again I appreciate your perspective and accuracy....
Journalism has become a profession of missing the point. There has been little mainstream analysis of the consequences of privatizing social security only a
delineation of who says what about it. Every news account I heard had a
talking head saying things like "Democrats questioned Bolton...." and
"Republicans questioned Democrats' motives for questioning Bolton...."
Shouldn't the questions be about whether or not Bolton is qualified?
Shouldn't Brian Williams spend time laying out what privatization
actually does? Isn't it the fourth estate's job to question and investigate not
only process, but the people participating in that process? Incomplete
analysis passes for objectivity....
Thanks for not being one of the mimes.
