Yet another weird SF fan


I'm a mathematician, a libertarian, and a science-fiction fan. Common sense? What's that?

Victor Davis Hanson Almost Turned Me into a Leftist!

Victor Davis Hanson wrote:

On the Internet recently appeared the pictures of the JournoList bunch, who at least between themselves gave up their usual pretense that the media was unbiased. With all due respect (confession: I was briefly mentioned by the list as someone that the racist card might work on in connection with the illegal immigration debate), they appear to the eye as a sort of nerdish group.

They remind me of what we used to call the “wimp table” at a pretty tough Selma High around 1970. It was there that the high school’s handful of geeks, toadies, and picked-upon used to eat, under the protective eye of yard-duty teachers. The assumption was that with a few steps further onto the grounds, the entire sorry bunch was fair game for every bully on campus. And that sad outfit filters, disseminates, and arbitrates our news? Most from their writing and appearance seemed either neurotic overachievers or twenty-something bloggers who confuse calling someone something with erudition.

AIIIIEEEE!!!!

The problem with leftists is not that they're nerds; it's that they've gone over to the side of the bullies. (Mark Ames and Digby are two of the best examples.)

Meanwhile, I intend to stick up for others at the “wimp table,” the three oppressed minorities of today's society: big business, fetuses, and illegal (malum prohibitum) aliens.
