  5. I’m waiting for Michael Mann to ride, in a cloud of dust, to the rescue of two fellow travelers. Their end justifies their willingness to be dishonest in front of so many people. The light, in the same manner as cast by Steve McIntyre. Let’s see if the roaches scurry for the darkness as most expect.
