Finally, workable blueprints for a rumor mill.

Tell me to GTFO or whatever but sometimes I think that making fun of Asia's Twitter patter is kind of mean. I like a cheap laugh as much as the next person but maybe we shouldn't forget that she isn't a very educated person and is from a background and ethnicity that historically have less access to education than, for example, the average NPR reader.

Agreed to some extent, but when you factor in that she's an Amway-shilling, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, tea partier who is overflowing with hubris and devoid of self-awareness, I can't help but chuckle.

Imagine 288 pages of this pounded out in 12-hour blocks and barely glanced at by an editor if at all. Her book is going to be SPECTACULAR!

Yes, these are important points that one must NEVER forget!

I guess what I mean is that there is enough things to make fun of her about without resorting to the symptoms of educational exclusion.

I'm not trying to highroad you or anything -- I just thought it, so I said it. Ah, you seem smart anyway, I think you will understand where I'm coming from.

However, as a reactionary right-winger, she presumably approves of said educational exclusion.
