Coincidentally, I re-read "Radical Chic" and "Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers" two weeks ago. Both books are wonderful. But Mau-Mauing is must-read for anyone interested in the rise of "community organizers."

BTW, if you never read the book "The Bonfire of the Vanities," read that, too. Excellent writing, significant story.

This piece makes me wish there was an election to win tomorrow. I am stoked. Thanks, Steve. I needed this adrenaline pump after shoveling the global warming from my driveway for the 3rd day in a row! Thank God you're one of us!

Senator,

It seems your introduction to Soviet and Communist studies parallels my own. Thanks for expressing my feelings about Obama's affront to freedom and to the Cold Warriors who helped deliver the East Bloc from the evil of collective tyranny . . . only you said it better than I could have! Keep up the great work.
