Be honest. How much did you enjoy getting the ire of pundits (not the few who actually critiqued your method, models, or assumptions, but those who just dismissed your work wholesale)? Was there a part of you that wrung your hands together, laughed a tad manically, and egged them on to continue, since all they were doing was bringing more attention to your work and the lack of rigor in their approach?

No worries man, general audience way different from reddit audience.

Hack is fine, the word has moved on and it's a great way to cut through clutter.

Great question, since Turkey denies the genocide even happened, right? Cenk do you agree with that?

I hope he addresses this. I mean, yeah in a general sense it was about replacing monarchy with secular gov't, and that's great and all, but as a nation they need to own up. Look at Germany. That's how you 'heal' and learn, by addressing it head on. So Cenk what is it? Man up!

Mr. Mayor,

One of the most important roles of the Senate is as a check of Executive Power.

Do you think the President has the power to kill US citizens anywhere in the world (at home or abroad) without an imminent threat?

Oh on a deeper level I have no idea. Just as far as public statements, monuments, museums it seems like the polar opposite to Turkey's response to Armenian genocide which is officially: "huh? oh no never happened."

edit: 'seems' cause I could be wrong
