The mote in your eye

Robert — 6/19/2006 9:42:44 PM (archived)

I'm surprised you don't recognize my chart as a parody, Techie. It's every bit as simple-minded as you say it is, and thus it's a completely on-target commentary on "The Four Pillars of Socialist Revival". The difference is, apparently, that I understand that it's a joke and don't take it seriously. You and Tom need to lighten up a bit, man.
