Re: The Week in Blog: Politics of Cool (Bill Scher & Matt K. Lewis)

I've lost count of the number of times you've employed this example to score a point, but since it evidently plays a significant role regarding how you think of Obama generally, I'm curious:

Re: Values Added: Grassroots Politics (Michelle Goldberg & Rich Lowry)

Maybe I'm more out of touch with the left than I thought, but I have no idea what this refers to. Can you point me towards the most mainstream examples of this phenomenon?

Re: Yes, the right wing movement is anti-science.

This is a slightly hurried reply, as well, but there are a few things i wanted to get to before I head out.
