[lbo-talk] You Might Be An Asshole If . . .

[Jacob Conrad]

Geez, Horowitz's rag has never been known for its light touch, but this 
is a notably ham-fisted attempt at humor even for them.  Speaking of 
lessons, though, couldn't this be seen as a sign of the exhaustion and 
enervation of movement conservatism?  I mean, Horowitz considers himself 
an "intellectual," and here he is publishing stuff that would be an 
embarrassment at a meeting of the Rotary Club.  With all of his 
millions, wherever they come from, he ought to be able to find better 
and smarter writers than this numbskull.
