No doubt I spend too much time on the Internet, but I have to say it has its compensations…such as when a bright guy you’ve never met writes a little essay inspired by a thought from yours truly.
Take a look at postmodern conservative Mr. James Poulos’ thoughts on optimism, which to me (and Rod Dreher as well) is the Achilles Heel of America today.
What in god’s name is a “postmodern conservative?” And frankly, you’re smarter than both of them put together.

Well thanks Mike! I don’t know exactly what a pomo conservative is, but I give Dreher a lot of credit for courage — how many Texas conservatives and Christians have turned full-force on the Bush administration, which he now treats with utter contempt? Not to mention his own audience, at times, on unmentionable matters, such as gluttony?
