I don't really understand why Michele hates Ted Rall so much. I've read a few of his op-eds, and figure that fisking Ted Rall would be a huge waste of time. Any sane person the read's Rall isn't going to get two sentences without rolling their eyes. Anyone that actually believes Rall probably doesn't have the capacity for rational thinking any way. Trying to refute the Tedrallians with logic and thought is a bit like trying to teach nuclear physics to an orangutan. You can use charts, graphs, and logic, but they just aren't listening. Those that would listen, just don't get it. Perhaps it's more like arguing with your refrigerator.

As for Ted's columns, I've found that they all seem to follow the same formula.

• Stolen 2000 election.


• Bush is an idiot.


• Bush is a draft dodger.


• Count all the votes.


• Corporate money.


• Corporate legislation.


• Halliburton.


• Gore is great.


• Poor economy.


• Dead Iraqis.


• Dead Afghanis.


• President Gore.


• Re-count all the votes.

Now just fill in the rest with mindless drivel, more bitching about the 2000 election, and you've got your own Ted Rall op-ed.

UPDATE: I missed this earlier, but Fox News already covered Ted Rall. "Typing Monkeys Don't Quite Write 'Hamlet': Monkeys given computer to type on, but end up using keyboard mainly as toilet"
