The question:
Serious question (no, really!): which young “thinkers” on the Left are, you know, actual *thinkers*? http://t.co/0ZUiW31Yk3

The answer? There aren’t any. The thinking has already been done for them, so all that they have to do is repackage it in a specific form. It’s like… store-brand cereal: all the supermarkets order from the same regional suppliers, and just choose a standard box design that pleases them.
I actually really do mean this, by the way. One of the hallmarks of interesting thinkers is in how willing they are to publicly express those opinions they hold that are unpopular with their own side. I mean, it’s easy to hold an opinion that your political opponents hate. It’s what you do when you have to swim against your own current that’s perhaps much more noteworthy.

My son is actually pretty good at this, which is a bit of a surprise for someone who voted for Obama twice.
So very tempting to put a link to Ace of Spades’ anti-boob-tube diatribe here .. because it’s the idiot’s lantern that teaches every problem can be solved with a good 15 minute hate, followed by more government…

… but instead, I’m filling out tax forms like a good citizen.
