Take the William Kristol challenge: finish reading his column

Bill Kristol gets paid to write. Do you? Didn't think so.

In January of this year, Iraq war co-founder William Kristol began writing a column for the allegedly liberal New York Times. Some have faulted Kristol for his sloppy fact checking, completely overlooking his god-awful writing style and predictable talking points. In fact, the point at which a person stops reading a Bill Kristol column reveals much about his character. The sentence that makes one mutter, "Jesus Christ!" and crumple the Times' op-ed section in disgust is as revelatory a Rorschach test.

Take the Bill Kristol challenge, and learn a little something about yourself in the process.
