  • Neo Culpa
    David Rose's full article is up on Vanity Fair's site. This is a sort of a where-are-they-now? (in mindset) piece, concerning some of the big names in the neoconservative moment. Although this article was designated for the January 2007 issue of VF, the editors decided to publish an excerpt on VF's site as soon as Rose turned it in -- shortly before the last election. Rose discusses that decision and consequent brouhaha in this full article, as well.

    Thanks to Red State Son, via Jonathan Schwarz, for the link. I keep forgetting VF has the occasional good article.

    (I give the surfing history as an example of what a wonderfully, um, web-like thing the Web is. Follow the links for some snark about the VF article itself, not to mention some vintage Monty Python arcana.)

  • Where the 'Angry Young Men' Are
    On the lighter side … Okay, not really. Colbert King's op-ed in the WaPo is a fine example of how to use humor to make a telling point.
