A literate leftist

I’m pretty much as left as left can be and I don’t know what anyone’s in a tizzy about. Please keep in mind that not all of us are reactionary enough to totally flip when we see “Nazi” used in a historical comparison. If they read the whole article they’d know that isn’t what you’re advocating. Besides, anyone who has Valis in their list of top ten books is OK by me.

That’s remarkably sober considering the next email I received from a purported producer at Fox News:

Alan Colmes is very interersted in discussing immigration and border security with you on his national radio show.

To which I replied:

Is this a joke or something? I’d strongly recommend re-reading the piece a little more closely before Mr. Colmes gets his panties in a bunch. It’s not anywhere nearly as controversial as the quasi-illiterates in the blogosphere seem to think.

Anyhow, I don’t do radio, except for the Northern Alliance. And considering Captain Ed’s position, perhaps not even that anymore.
