Alert reader Brian, in what may be the most tactful dope-slap ever delivered, offered the following commentary on the Ted Rall article referenced in the previous post:

“This is probably obvious and you probably already know, but I’m going to

say it anyway. You do realize this is an “interpreted” story on Pat Tillman. The parallels were too uncanny for me until I looked at the name. No way that is a coincidence.”

In honesty, I missed that. I’ll admit Ted Rall is left of Ted Kennedy by the same distance Jerry Falwell is right of Bill Clinton, but I didn’t spot this as fictional. Oh well. It’s still an interesting perspective. If you’ll excuse me, I have to go wipe the egg off my face.
