"These guys say your payment will be $500 a month, but nowhere do they say that your actual payment is $3,000 a month. It should be criminal. The disclosures are usually complicated and people don’t know what hit them." Fantastic quote!

Centrism presumes that people don't have conflicting views. That idea of bi-conceptualism is a powerful one.

"In retrospect, everyone should have been focusing less on how those methods were used to win elections and more on why they couldn’t deliver once the elections were over." It doesn't get summed up better than that.

Greg, read portfolio.com before parroting the media haters bile that the whole operation sucks.
Actually I subscribed to the magazine and subsequently canceled. I don't think I'm really parroting anyone, but I do find the conclusions in that link to be fairly accurate.
I liked the idea of Portfolio - I thought that perhaps it would be a magazine about business that would be accessible without dumbing subjects down. To that end, I learned a good deal about private equity and capital in the first issue.
That said, I found this quote particularly interesting from the review:
"It was pretentious without being sophisticated. It lacked substance and didn't have the courtesy to compensate with style. It talked down to the reader and spent much of its editorial space explaining simple concepts and background information that its supposed target audience--mid-to-senior level executives in their early 40s--would already know. It was fluffy. And it didn't bring any substantive new information to light."
