Jonah Goldberg: Although he has no aptitude for or real interest in politics or punditry, he could kick your ass in D&D.

Gus, step away from National Review. Besides, who could give any credence to someone who is comfortable with semi-colons and Capital Letters cohabitating like that?

Plus anyone who thinks the Alliance is representative of a democracy, as opposed to being a quasi-totalitarian/fascist stand-in, has been getting into the monkey crack hardcore (and not the good monkey crack).
