A kind of stand-up wroter or slapstick intellectual, which to my mond isn't as damning as it might seem. I've probably more interested in a slap-stick intellectual of sparkling but somewhat shoddily executed ideas, than a consummate artist of the bourgeois "poverty, dirt, and a miserable ease" of Nietzsche's. Because you are neither hot nor cold, I spit you out of my mouth and all that. <strong>jb says</strong>: Cheers, Andrew. You know how to make a guy feel good on a Sunday morning.
