[lbo-talk] I Hate Daniel Goldhagen. (Was Re: Reading suggestions needed

[Michael McIntyre]

And if Harvard giving him a Ph.D. for that piece of shit weren't bad

for best dissertation in comparative politics that year.  Devalues  
the entire field and makes me think my brother is right - I should  
have gotten my doctorate in history, not political science.
