#1 Even if he doesn't like bluegrass, Lileks is a treasure. In a better world he would be writing in the NYT instead of submorons like Dowd.

One of the reasons the Repubs must hold on to the reins of power is that if the Dems do get control the very first thing they will do (even before impeaching W) is to try to reestablish their hegemony of the information stream that existed prior to the internet's prominence. They long for the days when America had no choice but to get their information from the MSM.

They cannot afford to give Lileks and Reynolds and Wretchard and Rantburgers even the limited forum that exists now - it has been deadly to them. If they do manage to get back in power, they'll go after the center and right (and perhaps even the left) in the cyberworld with every weapon they can muster - taxes, regulation, etc.

#2 He doesn't care for the Blues either, but I won't hold it against him.
