32. That sounds rough

I've long noted I sometimes agree with the guy, sometimes don't. Sometimes I watch, sometimes not. More often not, because I'm just kind of crazy busy these days.

But he's discussed ad nauseam, often several times a week, where every Daily Beast article that mentions him gets dragged around.

It's the Howard Stern effect. And the Daily Beast, which relies on clicks and eyeballs, would be dumb not to take advantage of an audience that will leap on that kind of content.

being rooted in their mentally defective, infantile, or perhaps even feminine natures.


What on earth is this sentence? That is a weird attack on posters here. I certainly never said anything close to such a thing - but you just have.

Those are unfortunate thoughts to harbor, and I don't think anyone would appreciate the people here being categorized or thought of as such.
