I completely agree. The loud shrieking voices from both extremes (on any issue) make it very hard to have a real conversation about anything. Especially when witty one-liners receive more attention than a reasoned analysis.
I actually have no idea what they were going for with this piece. Looking specifically at the bit about Bobby Jindal, I'm just left scratching my head. There's a lot to talk about with him, he's left our state in financial ruin. Our higher education system is basically banking on the idea that whoever the next governor is will clean up Jindal's mess. Instead of actually talking about the issues, though, Jezebel goes on some rant about the Aztecs? And puts up a picture of a muppet. I mean, I get that it's an entertainment piece, but they could have at least based their story somewhere in reality? Maybe I just expect too much.
