This weekend’s edition of the Ruminant is a little bit like Christopher Hitchens’ D.C. apartment: a little bit of one thing right next to a little bit of the complete opposite thing. There’s a lot of ground covered in this, a practically record-breaking long episode of the podcast in which Jonah discusses his dad’s work for the wonderfully-acronymed NANA (North American Newspaper Alliance), dynamic scoring (a system in which this episode gets an A+), the necessity of telling the truth at a time in which even committed conservatives have a legitimate temptation to abandon their principles, the request from a listener for Goldberg Story Time, and much, much more. Show Notes: - Tim Russert interviews Bob Kerrey - John Edwards’ bizarre stem cell comments - CDC director “speaking in her personal capacity” - TX Gov. Abbott lifts mask mandate - Thomas Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions - “Rationalia” - Jay Nordlinger’s Q&A - Memogate/Rathergate - “Slackjawed troglodytes” - Voir dire, or, as Advisory Opinions likes to say, “Vwahr Dahr” - “I don’t like the… stumps” - Mit-Voche Epistle - The Remnant with Steve Hayward and Charles Murray - Kathryn Jean Lopez’ page at National Review - Matt Lewis speaks to Bill Kristol See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
