To be fair, he hasn't done that in a while, and he really only did it a few times. I think those "reviews" ended up embarrassing even him. These days it's his "cafe raps" or "walking the dogs raps," in which he starts out by musing about this-a and that-a and then inevitably segues into some nastiness about the denizens of FFL he doesn't like, or TMers in general, or me in particular, or all the above. He always tries to make it seem as though the random musings came first, and they just *happened* to remind him of something about whoever he goes on to demonize. In fact, it's just the reverse: he decides who he's going to demonize and how, then backtracks to manufacture some minimally plausible train of thought that he can portray as having led to the topic of his "rap." Next time you read one of those, notice how carefully constructed it is according to this formula. If he hadn't done so many dozens of these exactly the same way, any single example might pass muster as genuinely spontaneous thoughts just flitting through his mind. It's the repetitive pattern over many instances that gives him away. Ravi did a hilarious parody of this back in March.
