Now this isn’t a value judgment or a stoning, obsessive bigotry is a mindset. Divorced from politics, the obsessive bigot identifies an entire race, gender, ethnicity as responsible for all the problems in the world and obsessively focuses on alerting everyone to that fact.

The artwork in the flash intro (particularly the screen with two panels) is really something. Gorgeous stuff. And check out the publicity pics of Dave next to the wall of artwork. The guy sure looks in good shape for a man pushing 50! Of course that's often what happens when you give up smoking and drinking for the better part of the last decade. :) Wow.
