someone at AmSpec says what we said about TNR (or at least about its blog), which means it's become a con-SER-va-tive thing. That the rag should now substitute tantrums for thought was perhaps inevitable for an institution with Michael "The Snide Adolescent" Kinsley,
MR. MELODRAMA and Stephen (CRASSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH) Glass in its background; in recent decades it's been more than a bit of a day-care center. Believe us, however,
TNR isn't the only rag that sounds like a "blog rant."
P. S. I just added a phrase to my original entry ("
ad hominem") because I intended to use it but couldn't think of it. These Latin terms can stump you.
