After reading Hooking Up Bruce

After reading Hooking Up Bruce Thorton is inspired to follow Tom Wolfe into the thick of the Culture Wars.


He illustrates what we need more of in the Culture Wars--hip, funny, mean commentators who won't let the other side, themselves quick to hurl question-begging epithets like "racist" and "sexist," hide behind the skirts of sensitivity and decorum. We have enough conservatives in the elegant, "Tweedy Prof mode." We need more warriors like Tom Wolfe who are willing to go thermonuclear on the commissars and fellow-travelers of intellectual tyranny.
