[1] Things That Matter: Charles Krauthammer - I Tried

I mean, I did evaluate the first 100 pages...

When the book switched to talking about politics, I very quickly realized why this man is a talking head on Fox. When you lead with an article with an over-played deliberate misquoting and distortion of what the President said, and then proceed to argue on behalf of how poorly he defended or advocated for his mis-speech, I lose all patience for you.

It's not helped that overwhelmingly the topics he addressed just felt petty. It wasn't an exploration of history. It wasn't an understanding of science. In fact, he even essentially told readers that Stephen Hawking's "A Short History of Time" was far too complicated and you shouldn't try tackling it! I got another 20 pages past the original 100 before I just broke off. This is my punishment for giving the other "side" a shot.
