    Good read, thanks Brandon.
    I kinda laughed when he called Bill Maher "smug"; that's the pot calling the kettle black (and I personally love them both for that).   ;)

    You're absolutely right about Bourdain calling Maher (or anyone for that matter) smug. Also fans of both.

    The more they talk the more people realize they do not share their point of view. At least in 90% of the geographical area.

    70% of all statistics are made up on the spot by 64% of people that produce false statistics 54% of the time they produce them.

    yep, it's not an actual stat. It is likely a bit higher. Check it out. As usual, you miss the point. Nit picker. Keep up the good work!

    Brings me back to a very funny, on point, and very explicit rant that a British comic posted just after the election.  Some very valid points that are echoed in the Bourdain piece.  Warning - this is full of F bombs, so please be careful where you watch/listen!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLG9g7BcjKs
