We all have our less than flattering moments, but as they say about cheating in school, you're only hurting yourself.

If it looks like bullsihit and smells like bullshilt.....its probably bullshit

Recognizing bullshit is party of the learning process as well.

Thee is little knowledge gained from post's consisting of editorials with an agenda that can be so easily picked apart for accuracy by objective observers (e.g. "the bill means government will take over your health decisions", "$millions for Pelosi's mouse project", "Obama wants to gerrymander Congressional seats", "not as bad as the Vince Foster coverup", etc) , accompanied by sarcastic one liners....other than perhaps, a bit about the poster's mindset.

But , IMO, such posts hardly qualify as contributing to insightful discourse.
