in the pages of Gilbert Magazine, and he is none other than our own combox regular, Sean P. Dailey.

…in a piece that takes various Chesterton quotations that generally preserve quite a lot of common sense and then subjects them to flat-footed heckling for no particular reason other than being contrarian and jerkish.
