He's always attacking people on public forums ;) Go Alex B! Show him how to blog with decency! Was the second sentence in that paragraph supposed to be an example of sarcastic, cynical rhetoric? Are you intentionally moronic or accidentally? “Just as Ann Coulter makes a living with invective, Charles has learned the best way to gain attention (aka blog hits) is by making outrageous claims and using sarcastic, cynical rhetoric.

But really, it's the only one this entry criticizes... and pretty strongly at that. And I thought Johnson was exaggerating over on his blog.

One only needs to remember the old ASCMC Forum website and its lack of content. Johnson still manages to generate debate on campus. Part of the problem is that each new incoming class is 1) more liberal, 2) more apolitical (non-Econ, Gov), which makes the Claremont Conservative more irritating. The Claremont Conservative, like the Claremont Independent will become less 'infamous' (I would contest that, especially among faculty) once the campus is less intolerant towards dissent. I would also add Stagafling. He was pretty funny at times.
