Pejman tries to talk sense to Andrew Sullivan. Just the latest example of why I delinked him years ago. And I agree that the word “neocon,” if it ever had any use, does no longer, except as a mindless epithet.

…and yet science still has no explanation for this strange phenomenon.
Actually, the term ‘neocon’ does serve a purpose, just like ‘teabagger’. It lets me know right away that I’m dealing with a person who doesn’t want to argue facts, but will use name-calling to try to get a point across.
Good point. It’s like Hank Hill’s observation of the social utility of piercings: “They let you know at a glance that someone’s not quite right.”
The weirder you’re going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works in reverse, too. When I see a kid with three or four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person.

That’s pretty hard-core, delinking Pejman for trying to talk sense into Andrew Sullivan. ;^)
