Yeah, it all started because I am friends with Mara and I know for a fact that Mara and Stephen had known each other before. This wasn't actually bloodsport. It was farce. Anyway, it is interesting and I surely do think that Mara Vanderslice did an amazing job standing up to Bill Colbert / Stephen O'Reilly. Wonderful. James, thanks for the link.

With so much of the right having gotten used to only evaluating things on the basis of emotion, it's hard to distinguish the fact of his performance from the truthiness of it.
