THE IDEOLOGICAL PRETZEL OF CONSERVATISM: Presumably to goose attention to his second-rate site Little Malcolm commissioned some throwaway no-thought think pieces, and one of them has some hack named Ewalt propose bringing back the Roman gladiator games. He says sports is violent, so let's go all the way. Sure. I'd like to see the NFL do that. Why not NASCAR duels to the death? Why not baseball bats as weapons? In hockey they have sticks AND skates! And why limit it to sports? Why not duels between [C]RAPPERS? Or street gangs! He who kills the most toddlers wins! Although to be sure it would perfectly fit the glibertarian nonsense of Little Malcolm as that philosophy is already "pro-choice", and thus pro-death.

No, you don't need to be a blogger to spout garbage.

He also has Larry Summers's temporary successor gas that "What I would wish for is a set of reliable, universally accepted measures for evaluating and comparing student progress toward all the educational goals appropriate to every college and professional school," and somebody named Robert David Steele mewl that the intelligence community needs "a national Open Source Agency. Half of the money earmarked for the agency would go toward traditional intelligence work. The other half would provide for 50 state-wide Citizen Intelligence Networks, including a 24/7 watch center, where citizens can both obtain and input information," proving neither they nor this PR stunt are serious.

P. S. Under the scribbler Ewalt's eructing is this cute little bit of business:

I guess Little Malcolm is serious -- about making money.
