I once heard a quip: "Never argue with a pig. You'll only get frustrated and it annoys the pig." As a frequent uninvolved third party to debates, I think of this often.
Since I had/have not decided if I was/am interested in Google+, I did not get an invite to Google+ (yet), but it is very interesting to wander among the Google+ circles viewing profiles, photos, videos, and buzz/blogs.
On Ben Standard's Google+ buzz page appears this video gem:
explaining the theoretical underpinnings of arguing with a pig (and Republican politicians?).
Brilliant.
