“Brainless Storm” Blogger Naomi Schaefer Riley is Back!

And for reasons known only to editors desperate for content, she's being interviewed in IHE.  Shame on them!

UPDATE:  Philosopher David Auerbach (NC State) disagrees, in part, with my assessment:  "Actually the Riley interview in IHE is great.  She reveals what she's up to (and how dumb she is) almost completely; and many of the comments are superb in their dissection.  I think it's (sometimes) useful to give fools an airing.  (I would add that I think there's a real skill (and work) on the part of the interviewer.)"  Fair points.
