One of my philosopher friends on Facebook gave me permission to repost this funny item he wrote on his FB page:

Saw Carlin Romano talk about his book, America the Philosophical, with Simon Critchley tonight in a bookstore downtown.  Critchley was surprisingly down to earth, informed, and engaging.  Romano was probably the worst example of bullshittery I've seen from an adult.  Half the time was spent name-checking semi-important people he's met.  The other half was spent bad-mouthing the interesting and important work of people at prestigious institutions, despite the fact that he clearly understood none of it.
