Ken Rockwell

[peterm1]

Now this is not meant to knock Ken. I for one actually get some pleasure from visiting his site, even when I disagree with him.

But it did amuse me as I am sure its author intended. Some gentle mockery never hurt anyone I suppose.

Please do not turn this into a Kenneth kicking contest. Just accept it as a bit of fun...............

In this world of people who like to take everything, including themselves, so seriously, Ken is fun. He is refreshing

I enjoy his comments - don't always agree mind you - but I do enjoy reading many of his takes on things.
