Jonah Goldberg: logician

I had earlier encountered this as a point to be made AGAINST logical fallacies, it was something like "just because Hitler brushed his teeth and liked dogs doesn't mean that we should stop using Colgate and kick puppies". This was used as an illustrative point for a more complex dicussion.

However, Goldberg seems not to have received the memo, and has spent enough time wallowing in his own ignorance to write a book chronicling his failure to grasp logical points that are simple enough to be summarized in a sentence.

Forthcoming Goldberg titles I am now looking forward to:

"Correlation equals causation: how the rooster's crow causes the sun to rise"

"The collective wisdom of crowds: I am now going to jump off a bridge because many, many others have done so"

"Although my clock has stopped, it shows the right time twice a day and is therefore always reliable"

and so on.

I realize that some people who have facial hair aren't Nazis, but Hitler was famous for having a moustache, and the fact that Hitler and Brian both have facial hair just goes to show you that Brian and Hitler are not as different as you might think.

Fascist.
