Okay. I've been wanting to do this for weeks but didn't quite know the appropriate time. Maybe it's never an appropriate time, or maybe it always is. And thus the perfect ambivalence with which to introduce this blog!
Bob Somerby has been writing The Daily Howler for cyber-eons. Fair disclosure: he roomed with Al Gore at Harvard. As I recall, he started howling right about the time people started claiming Gore had said he "invented" the internet. Somerby knew that claim was bullshit, and he kept saying so. Anyway, he's firmly on the Left but he's definitely not, as he would put it, tribal. And that's why I like reading him.
I'll be curious to see the reaction here. I think y'all will find a lot to love and to hate in Bob's writing, especially this post called "Return of the Teach-In!" This should be fun.
