[lbo-talk] What's the matter with Kansas?

[Curtiss Leung]

A month or so back, Harpers ran a long essay by Tom Frank that I imagine
is part of his new book.  Unless that essay was a bizarre,
unrepresentative
sample of the book, I'd say the reviewer for the Globe is just being a
complete 
tool--notice there's no discussion of *what* or *how* Tom Frank has
insulted
Kansans in the review.  And to put him in the same category as David
Brooks--
the mind reels.

If I had a bird, I wouldn't even line it's cage with this crap.


> Interesting.  Article here claims "Frank does [a] ... great job of
insulting 
> the people he believes should share his politics -- all those
working-class, 
> born-again, gun-toting Kansans":
