If by "good" you mean "almost comically ill-informed," then yes, I agree.

Not sure comical is the right word but with so many examples to choose from, the article surely falls short of its billing.

Didn't read it but I am sure it was a balanced and fair article pointing out both success and failure. :rolleyes:

His pointing out of the global warming scientists getting marooned and then airlifted from an helipad constructed on the ice locking in their ship was pretty good. Especially when there was no ice there almost 100 years ago. :rolleyes:

you missed out on such gems as progressives natural advantage over conservatives in framing debates and woodrow wilson being the first progressive. teddy roosevelt never happened.

but no worries. 2013 was the high water mark. progressivism ran into a wall and joey got to throw a stained wad of toilet paper through the hoop for the win. it was an amazing time.
