STILL LIVING IN THE PAST

In the Washington Monthly, Charles Homan writes about Culture111, one of the recent attempts by conservatives to be "hip." Considering that Hewitt thinks Jonah Goldberg is hip, I wasn't too surprised to learn that the new web site was inspired by the early writings of Tom Wolfe, the one who wrote humorous takes on the Left, such as The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. The wingers think that Wolfe offered devastating criticisms of liberalism and that his work can serve as a model for the 21st century.

I really don't think Wolfe offered more than humorous criticism of the Left and his work was based on the actions of others, notably the Dirty Fucking Hippies, who are in short supply these days.
