If you're already a RadioDerb listener, then you can skip this post and go back to my last one where I say a bunch of clever things, and openly long to be able to wear my cowboy hat in public again without being considered unfashionable. If you aren't a RadioDerb listener, then please read on.
On Friday afternoons, my friend John Derbyshire does an online radio assessment of the news of the week from his palatial suite of fine leather and mahogany draped offices, high at the top of Buckley Towers in midtown New York City. It's always clever, sometimes funny, and it contains the same kind of logical irreducibility that typifies his other writing. Political correct?... Feh! John knows the meaning of the word of course, but he utterly rejects the principle.
This week he's broken from his traditional form just a bit and spent the time on an interview of Seth Forman, author of American Obsession: Race and Conflict in the Age of Obama.
While I personally dont' think this show's John at his clever best, it's none the less a first rate interview with a man who clearly has something very important to say about racial politics in the age of Obama. I strongly suggest that you invest the time in listening.
