What The Smartest Man In The World Is Reviewing Today

Well, even though I'm sick as a dog in a hotel in Peoria — where it's 5 degrees — this made my day. The paperback blurb:

Those who put a high value on words may recoil at the title of Jonah Goldberg’s new book, Liberal Fascism. As a result, they may refuse to read it, which will be their loss — and a major loss.

Those who value substance over words, however, will find in this book a wealth of challenging insights, backed up by thorough research and brilliant analysis.

This is the sort of book that challenges the fundamental assumptions of its time — and which, for that reason, is likely to be shunned rather than criticized.  ....

....Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start rethinking the received notions about who is on “the Left” and who is on “the Right.” It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

And what I'm starting to read a second time... Go buy one for yourself.

In fact, I'll buy a copy for you if you're one of the first ten folks to email me asking for a copy.

Take that Gramsci!
