One of my bosses was a bit dyslexic, and he would write proposals with lists in them starting with one, going to B, then going back to three...

The secretary would correct them, and he would mark them back the original way!!

weird.

I imagine Hawkins list ending up at a number other than the one in the title.

That "Twenty Small Ways to Help Get Our Country Back on Track" column could have been more accurately titled as "Twenty Different Ways to Say 'Pray to Jesus' and 'Join the GOP'."

The sweeping and inane generalizations about liberals were almost as delicious. I did like that he called "liberals are tolerant" a myth -- maybe that'll stop the wingnuts from playing the "b-b-b-but you're supposed to be tolerant" whine card every time they want indulgence to say something bigoted.
