In the sense that making g fu.n of Thomas Friedman is always appropriate.

While he goes at it hammer and tongs, resulting in much squashed vegetable matter.

I confess, my notion of the life well-lived does not include an instant response to each petty inanity..

Yup. "Proof" nowadays is understood to mean "this conclusion follows from these premises", not "this conclusion is true".

Malor and Sanchez agree on the basics of the case
