No. No, We Did Not Just Read This In The Washington Post

About the only recent successful title that harkens back to the older intellectual style is Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism," which argues that modern liberalism has much more in common with European fascism than conservatism ever has. But because it deployed the incendiary f-word, the book was perceived as a mood-of-the-moment populist work, even though I predict that it will have a long shelf life as a serious work. Had Goldberg called the book "Aspects of Illiberal Policymaking: 1914 to the Present," it might have been received differently by its critics. And sold about 200 copies.

Oh yes you did! And between this & the "Write for Our Op-Ed Page" contest, you'd have to say the wheels have come off the Post's wagon.

Also: Finished it. It gets much worse.
