This is easily the most charming item I’ve read about my blog since someone (now a law professor) coined the "no bullshit approach" label:

You should pay attention to Brian Leiter, he’s a one-man two-fisted justice parade on a worldwide hostility tour, cracking Republican heads together like coconuts while kicking a creationist in the face. It’s wonderful catharsis, but it doesn’t make me feel too cozy or optimistic about the future. It’s sort of like listening to the couple in the next apartment get drunk and scream at each other every Saturday night: a perverse voyeuristic thrill tempered with the realization that no one is ever likely to win the argument.

Indeed, winning arguments is a tricky business!  But at least there’s some catharsis for folks in Vancouver.
