Speaking of National Review Online, you should check out their lame attempt to read Buffy the Vampire Slayer in right-wing terms--it's hilariously stupid, actually, and riddled with inaccuracies. (Sadly--or not--I'm very well qualified to judge this.)

It's bad enough to try to undermine the welfare state with racist tactics-- but when they mess with Buffy, they've gone too far. ;-)
