Speaking of Holly, that dingbat wrote the other day that Horton's stand-alone plan called for 20% annual growth. If she had written it once, I'd let it slide as perhaps a typo. But she repeated it more than once in her column, demonstrating that she doesn't even know enough of Horton's stand-alone plan to even comment on it intelligently. Remember that old saying about opening one's mouth and removing all doubt? Her ignorance is on display for all to read.
And Brett? As interesting as Cranky is to read, he worked for America West as a pricing intern (among other jobs). He's never worked for the Antitrust Division of the Dep't of Justice, and it shows. He's no more competent to comment intelligently about an antitrust complaint (or the odds that the government will win) as he is to perform heart surgery.
