"As a teenager, I was attracted to the left because of its commitment to rational and cool-headed analysis" - this one really tickles me.

Yes, that's the biggest howler in the piece.

Well, yes . . . when I was a teenager, I said that too.

As I matured and my brain developed, I admitted to myself that I was attracted to the left because I liked guys with long hair and good weed. Then I realized those freaks paled in comparison to an unreformed_republican with Brooks Brothers suits and expensive Cabernet.

Turned Right, never looked back.
