Tom offers perhaps the soundest diagnosis of What’s the Matter with Me that I’ve seen so far:
Adding to the mystery that is Shea:
There seem to be certain people whom he treats in a markedly friendly manner, and yet these people also treat him in a markedly friendly manner.
But there are still other people Mark treats in a bristly manner — and just to compound the befuddlement, these people themselves treat Mark in a bristly manner!
These phenomena are just so foreign to the everyday experience of regular people that they demand an explanation. So far, the leading contenders are: 1) Mark Shea is a shill for the Republican Party; 2) Mark Shea is a shill for the Democratic Party; 3) everything Mark Shea writes is carefully calculated to maximize his considerable personal income.
It’s as though he can read my very soul!
