Why he might be annoying
He is an adult who goes by initials that sound like a small child's name (or pajamas).
He graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
He was a left-leaning hippy who changed into a right-leaning libertarian (and yes, he criticized John Kerry for being a flip-flopper).
He is usually pictured smoking a cigar.
Critics dismiss him as a shill for the Republican Party.
He said there should be two new political parties: one to cater to his political views and one to oppose them.
Why he might not be annoying
He graduated with a Masters degree from Johns Hopkins University.
He was an editor-in-chief for 'National Lampoon' magazine.
He does a convincing job of making liberals, leftists, and even some conservatives look like fools.
His first book became a national bestseller.
He has been called the funniest writer in America by many newspapers and magazines, such as the 'Wall Street Journal.'
He wrote: 'Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.'
