Hilton Kramer RIP

I am liking this capitalizing on the dead trend. Just find someone who endorses the same vague but generally authoritarian strain of European Conservatism as one's self. Find a laudatory obit by someone who is equally politically persuaded and say something nice about the deceased and the obit.

Then, if anyone says anything contrary, they are being disrespectful of the dead. Never mind the political values - well, not until we're picking out the next obit to post .

See how that evades any actual discussion of the underlying issue?

>4 lawecon: Why do you like it? I am taking you at your word, literally, because behind the ostensible irony this might also be a revealing acknowledgement, an invitation to introspection.
