The Past Week in "Egregious Moderation": July 27, 2007
Egregious Moderation: The latest week's worth of rotisserie-league discourse and debate on politics and reality. It's for people who want to know what my ideal online one-stop source for punchy liberal analysis and evisceration--especially evisceration--would look like. Guaranteed Betsy McCaughey free! Guaranteed Charles Murray free! No claims that the dinner-party-going "commentariat" is highly qualified because guest lists that cross ideological lines help liberals understand Bush loyalists!
