I defended Monson for a very long time.
He’s basically become a rather artless provocateur and selective yewt kisser to the SL trip readership.
Occasionally, he’ll be right. And occasionally, he’ll be so wrong that it’s either considered to be completely awesome as with the Utes, the kiss of death, etc.. Spew enough stuff, which is what he does, and you’ll either be right or completely dead wrong a decent amount of the time. Hence, today’s Gordon Monson.
