William Kristol, in memoriam

Is there nothing more infuriating than Kristol's weekly "column"? Certainly during the election-cycle, with his smug assuredness of McCain's victory... he did as much as Sarah Palin in solidifying support for the Obama campaign, including small financial contributions from the liberal urban elite volvo driving-by soy lattes NPR listening crowd.

Thankfully, he's dead. By which I mean, removed from my life. Thank you thank you thank you. There is something to be said for challenging entrenched views, but this man is simply an idiot.

In The New Yorker, George Packer wrote that Mr. Kristol “didn’t take his column seriously,” and that he frequently made predictions and statements that were proved wrong.

In November, Mr. Kristol told Portfolio.com, “I’m ambivalent” about the prospect of continuing to write the Times column. “It’s been fun,” he said, adding, “It’s a lot of work.”

An entire 500 words, every week?? That's only seven days to think up, consider, brainstorm, research, write, and then flesh out a little more than a page, single-spaced. How did he over do it?

Skip all of the steps before and after "write."
