Mike's Blog Round Up
December 29, 2016

So.Happy.It's.Thursday - today we grab the bull by the tail and face the pundits. So to speak.

The Rectification of Names says that it takes a BS artist to recognize a superior BS artist. So true!

The Non Sequitur examines 'the pundit's fallacy'.

News Corpse goes deep on the very shallow Tucker Carlson.

Bonus Track: Improbable Research researches and pays tribute to William McGonagall's epic poem The Tay Bridge Disaster on its anniversary. Who knew Bulwer-Lytton had competition!

Round-up by Tengrain who blogs at Mock, Paper, Scissors. You can follow Tengrain on the Twitters, too. Send tips, requests, and suggestions to mbru@crooksandliars.com (with For MBRU in the subject line).
