- I visited Michael's Web pages as well. They are pretty much what I
- expected: a messed up, immature airhead's Web pages. There is a picture
- of him on the opening page. He has a sour, "I hate the world"
- expression on his face. In typical skeptitard logic, he explains his
- expression by writing, "It was taken at a barbecue at a friend's house
- that I had bicycled to. This explains the sweat, the expression, and
- the hawaiian shirt."
-
- Well, this makes perfect sense (i.e., perfect sense in skeptitard
- logic). Riding a bicycle and socializing at a friend's barbecue always
- give me an "I hate the world expression," too.
-
- "C'est la vie,
- C'est la guerre;
- Ce n'est pas un pomme de terre."
- A. Marina Fournier, 1996

- That's life,
- That's war,
- That's not a potato
-
- Michael's chosen, flippant quotation pretty much sums up this mixed up
- goof. The only other picture shown on the page is that of Bob, his dead
- cat, whose relationship he evidently can't get over.
-
- "He was a cat among cats."
-
- Perhaps soon he will take the route of "Twitch," another Usenet
- skeptiturd, and will change his name to his cat's.
-
- Following a link titled "Everything you know is wrong," one can see his
- "A Child's Garden of Misconceptions," in which he tries to convince one
- that, among other things, the flat tax is fair. Well, Forbes and other
- super-wealthy types LOVE the flat tax; they would pay much less taxes
- with a flat tax. This is perfectly fair to me; I've always thought that
- the super-wealthy should pay less taxes, too. What could be fairer?
-
- At least he didn't give one a long list of his favorite music,
- following the example of skeptitard James Lippard, who left no doubt
- about his unsophisticated, immature tastes by listing dozens of
- punk-rock bands on his Web page.
