Bad comparisons confuse history with emotion to the detriment of clear thinking and public awareness
Jacobs, this sloppy writing is not helping you get what what want, namely lavish praise.
Dipping your fists in the history bucket and flinging "Jay Gould" and "Robber barons" against the wall only makes a mess (left for others to clean up, or not).
John Yoo — the subject of the article, who you must name and quote if you want my praise, indeed if you want to reduce my contempt — is no Jay Gould and no robber baron.
Bad comparisons like this confuse history with emotion to the detriment of clear thinking and public awareness.

The Great Toilet Hole
The word "Somalis" has some special ill-will for these men, as if they were sharing a confidence in revealing to me the black widow spider they had personally located and identified in the Great Toilet Hole of America's Outhouse.
