Does it make you a bit uncomfortable to be affiliated with a right-leaning academic organization? An organization that got it's own start-up money from the Bradley Foundation (which gave it's annual awards last year to Heather MacDonald, Ward Connerly, Robert George, and George Will)? I guess I'd be a little troubled. Hard not to have a sense that the ALSC is kind of like a right-wing infiltration org, suffused with Fred Luntzian doubletalk in its manifestos and mission statements... Say what you will about the MLA, but signing on with these guys is like trading moveon for Heritage. Take a look at my site for more...

Brings back hazy memories of pot-smoke-filled college dormrooms in the early-to-mid 90s. Funny story, for the longest time I insisted that the line "attention and fame's a career, career, career, career" was in fact "the tension fades in Korea, Korea, Korea, Korea," and I was convinced that the song must actually be a profound, well-hidden geopolitical commentary on the end of the Cold War, if I could just figure out exactly what they were saying . . . erm, or something . . .
