Icon12 Uncle Dan Report #4

I would love to hear feedback from you all on my podcast, and hope Ive posted this in the right place.

In an especially grumpy mood for no real reason, I rant about affirmative action, Scott McClellan's book (NO I haven't read it, and neither have YOU), anti-intellectualism,

Sooo, please listen to The Uncle Dan Report podcast and let me know what you think

I agree about anti-intellectualism.

It seems people look down on intellectualism.

I mean for godsakes, we use the phrase, "Good job Einstein" as an insult.

What the hell is that?

It's called sarcasm.

By saying "Good job Einstein," what is REALLY meant is, "Congratulations on doing/saying what was obvious to ordinary everyday people... you surprised us in finally getting it because after all...you're an idiot."

Should I say hello to Uncle Dan, or is he just here to plug his blog thing?
