For the record, I find my colleague John Derbyshire’s piece fundamentally indefensible and offensive. I wish he hadn’t written it.

National Review writer Jonah Goldberg • Throwing his fellow National Review writer under the bus for his most recent article, which is, to put it mildly, the worst article to be written on race in a long time. Gawker puts it best: “It’s baffling—how can such an ill-conceived work of unadultered racism exist in an ostensibly modern magazine?” Good question. Perhaps it shouldn’t.

Max Headroom: Sorry we’re late; here’s an awesome soap opera

A C-Span telenovelaWe’re sure Jonah Goldberg’s new book is great, but around the 1:45 mark, he’ll be upstaged by some lovers’ dissent within his panel. Todd Seavey and Helen Rittelmeyer used to date. They don’t anymore, and Todd clearly has some issues with that. It’s easily the best thing ever aired on C-Span.
Bathroom buddies? Joe Miller was on Fox News today telling his side of the whole blogger-arrest incident. He lets out a piece of info in this Neil Cavuto interview which he hadn’t mentioned before – which is that the Alaska Dispatch co-founder followed Miller into the bathroom. He was attracted by the beard.
