I was listening to Democracy Now!, which I sometimes do when I can't argue with an intelligent person, just as sometimes instead of sugar in my coffee I use low-calorie ground glass, and I overheard something strange. Ms. Goodman was quoting extensively from the Onion article, 137 More Oil Wells Liberated for Democracy. I imagine that she wasn't pulling a 'Beijing Evening News', so is this supposed to pass for rational argument?
