Next week is the annual APSA (American Political Science Association) convention, which will be held this year in Washington, DC. A number of us affiliated with The Jawa Report plan to attend, but we'll probably not be in the majority. The unofficial theme of this conference of PoliSci eggheads is something like: "Dare We Call It Fascism?" And you know what the "it" is.
So, given that situation I found this observation by Jeff Goldstein of Protein Wisdom darn near irresistible, bless his heart:
If it weren’t so very sad and transparent, it might just be amusing how many scholars in today’s progressivist academy purport to be “investigating” questions they are quite clearly begging, only to act “intrigued” by the cumulative “findings” they’ve so clearly predetermined.
Alas.
I'm planning to wear a small "stars and stripes" in my lapel pocket, just for the sheer Saul Alinsky in-your-face irony of it all. Anyone else willing to make the statement link to this post, or to the crosspost on The Jawa Report (or both) and we'll set up a meeting time and place. It'll be fun.
Update: Rusty has a better idea. Either leave a comment here, with your despammed email address or email me or Rusty.
