I like all those acronyms. [Big Grin] Anyways, here you can find one of OSC’s articles (the one about Fox and biased news coverage) on the Wall Street Journal. I’ve noticed that his articles have been picked up more and more on other (high trafficked) sites. It sounds just like the way Peter and Val got power. [Laugh] Start posting on blogs/forums/sites and then get asked to do a news column and then have that news column picked up by bigger and bigger papers and syndicates. OSC for hegemon! [Wink] [Laugh]

Ohh, and to give credit where credit is due, I found the link at the home page. [Smile]

There's a home page? [Confused]

Wow, the WSJ is definitely big time.

The WSJ op-ed section (if it's what OSC has been picked up for) is big time for rabid conservative rants.

I don't know if that gives OSC more or less legitimacy...

(Note: The WSJ news is perfectly legitimate, factual, and useful. Only the op-ed section is partisan ranting. Sort of the anti-NYT op-eds).

Don't get me wrong, but do you think crediting him as a sci fi writer is intended to make his ideas sound weird? I think "author and coreligionist of Ken Jennings" might have been better. [Wink]

Serious, though, I guess we will know the real liberal wing nuts by whether they dismiss these remarks not on their substance, but on the profession of the person who said them.

Ornery is linked at the end of the article.

Every time an article of his gets published at a place like that Ornery's membership jumps.

We have had 8 new members today already.

I love it. [Smile]

This is deliciously ironic. All the more so because everyone knows that only I am in sole possession of truth! OSC can have virtue, I suppose, but truth is all mine! Mine!
