As I have pointed out in the past, Crooked Timber is useful for keeping track of the latest talking points of the liberal professorate. It is where you will find equal amounts of venom hurled at George W. Bush and Ward Churchill in the spirit of Phil Ochs's lyric:
I read New Republic and The Nation I've learned to take every view You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden I feel like I'm almost a Jew But when it comes to times like Korea There's no one more red, white and blue So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal In keeping with their sorry track record, Crooked Timber has now come out in favor of what might be called Euston Lite, another dreary open letter calling for democracy, freedom, peace and social justice but implicitly backing just the opposite in true Orwellian fashion. full: http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2006/10/20/euston-lite/ -- www.marxmail.org
