IMHO, a truly progressive cynic has a sense of humor. Some cynics make marvelous comedians. About a year ago I recall Mr. Krivit demanding that Mr. Rothwell publicly apologize for something Jed had sed that offended Krivit's sensibilities. I don't recall the particulars of that spat, nor do I care to - only that Jed didn't apologize. Soon after, Mr. Krivit announced that he was leaving the Vort Collective, presumably to avoid being the brunt of what he perceived as additional personal insults lobbed in his general direction - like farts. I perceive Mr. Krivit as working very hard at the task of being the best investigative journalist that he can be. I think he may still achieve that goal. Incidentally, as Dirty Harry once said: "A man's got to know his limitations" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070355/quotes Despite the fact that I perceive Mr. Krivit as possessing the sensibilities of a cynic I think he has wisely chosen not to pursue the path of a comedian.
