If anyone deserves to be subjected to ad hominems, it's Steven Landsburg.

On the Landsburg piece, note the extremely well-chosen e-mail name given at the end.

Haha! That's funny.

I saw the Sawicky response, but I was hoping for something a bit meatier.

John Quiggin takes this up over on Crooked Timber.

Is life really long enough to have to deal with Steven Landsburg?

Is life really long enough to spend time reading something--like Slate--that doesn't have an editorial process good enough to filter out regurgitated Republican talking points?

Speaking of both Crooked Timber and Slate, I know you've got a soft spot for Mickey Kaus, ogged, but I hope you didn't miss this. Classic.

Yeah, that was very funny. Poor Mickey, hated by the left, untrusted by the right...the hard life of a seeker after truth...
