Wow, so my entire thesis hung on a typo over my car? I get a lot of good feedback here, and I get bad too. For both reasons Free Republic is one of my favorite sites to visit...but this is just too much...

How about this for credibility....I'm currently taking the week off of work to help my wife, who just had a c-section, take care of our first born daughter.

In between helping burping, change diapers, clothing, swaddling, calming down, doing the laundry and grocery shopping (because SHE can't drive for 6 weeks) I found time to work this in.

SO I WAS IN A BIT OF A HURRY when I wrote this.

You couldn't possibly have known that, but you could divine from the rest of the post that it was probably JUST A TYPO and that Joe Biden PROBABLY isn't my ghost writer.

If people choose to visit my blog they find that its totally ad free (and I have zero intention to change that). I don't get a dime. I do this because I love it, and I don't have editors like the guys at National Review. Sorry to disappoint you.

You don't want to be the grammar police?!? You just trashed my entire post, not based on its merit, but because I was too much in a hurry to check that I should have typed a freaking "o."

Here's your badge, you earned partner...

I join with your critic. If you had wanted credibility or impact among educated people, every word of your "thesis" would have been spelled correctly, your punctuation would have been impeccable and you wouldn't have allowed the rush you claim as the excuse for your errors to win the day.

"Carolla" isn't your only mistake; "limosine" should be spelled "limousine" and

"I don't know if they've figured out what the reason is yet, but I would be surprised that one of them isn't the narcissistic of winners to use their moment on stage to pontificate to the world"

is just inane writing.

You're giving out cyber-badges to folks who criticize your grammatical and spelling errors? Not only can you not take well-deserved criticism, you're an extraordinarily thin-skinned chump.
