Harumph
Regnery Publishing is getting a lot of press over Unfit for Command, the book criticizing Kerry's time in Vietnam. I'm sort of out of that particular politcal loop, but I have gotten a number of emails today about another Regnery publication--In Defense of Internment. I won't name the author because I'm spiteful and don't want to give her any more air time, or free publicity, but you can check out her stuff through Tony's blog--link on the sidebar.
I'd offer some insightful radical analyses if I had the energy, but I'm not going to devote any more Lunamania real estate to vent my tired outrage about yet another woman of color being redonkulous. I'm so over those feelings of betrayal. It's so Condoleeza Rice.
I feel like I need to go take a shower, or read (or better yet watch) some Arundhati Roy. I got to hear her speak last week at the American Sociologists Association's annual conference. I'm always struck by how timely her insight is. I suppose that's what one must do as a "public intellectual at-large." Odd title, but accurate I suppose. I can't find a transcript of last week's speech, but here's one of the talk she gave last May at the Riverside Church.
