Cockburn and Militias

[Alex LoCascio]

Katha, Doug, your comments about Cockburn and his militia fetish are
right on target.  A NetPal of mine in Seattle got me turned on to the
Anderson Valley Advertiser so I could get everything Cockburn writes
(after the Nation chopped his column up).  The editor, Bruce Anderson,
seems to suffer from the same strain of faux-Populism that Cockburn does.

 I dunno if it has something to do with the West Coast or what.  He likes
to hurl around the term "pwogwessive" and calls feminists "gender
nationalists."   According to the same NetPal (Tresy Kilbourne, he's over
on the Marxist list), Cockburn's latest intellectual fav is Christopher
Lasch.  

I like Cockburn's investigative stuff, and I even like his introspective
naval gazing pieces, but that godawful pseudo-Populism has gotta go.
