Francis Fukuyama Agrees, Charles Krauthammer is an Idiot (Oct 31 2004 04:51 GMT) - This is an article published this summer in 'Neocon Central' (eer, "The National Interest") that illustrates Krauthammer's idiocy (idiocy defined as blind devotion to a flawed ideology...in this case).The 2004 speech is strangely disconnected from reality.

Now it has moved into 'gaming' as gaming is now big business, and certain economies of scale are needed before 'astroturfing' becomes a solid ROI. |
