*Come on, Terry: the US-backed military coup in Chile took place on September 11, 1973, not 1971!

gosh, you must feel really clever.

If that is your idea of "hilarious shit", wait until until you see something that is even remotely, slightly, almost mildly amusing. Your head will explode. When you finally hear about the cat that hates Mondays and likes lasagna, you will truly lose it.

24 minutes into it and he's still… framing the argument? Rambling? Explaining what he will (theoretically) at some point address? Sounding like a pompous, pontificating wind-bag? Boring the audience silly? All of the above. This is drivel which contributes little to this debate.
