The other day after reading a pretty good literary blog, I thought to myself, “You know, maybe I ought to re-subscribe to The New Republic. I am, after all, interested in learning more about the elite Democrat mindset, and regardless of how bad the political part of the magazine has become since the 1990s, they probably still have those back-sections with the long essays on literary, artistic, and scholarly currents.”

I suppose I might even have acted upon that thought, until I read this Ron Radosh piece today about how their latest cover basically accuses Wisconsin governor Scott Walker of practicing racist politics without a smidgen of evidence.

Wow. I can read those back pages at the library if I really want to.
