Much to catch up on!

New Silicon Graffiti Video: 1969—The Death of Modernism – Ed Driscoll offers more in regards to the liberal crackup.
Liberal Fascism: The Font – Another by Ed Driscoll. I love typography, and am probably among a handful of conservatives who enjoy avant-garde art movements. There’s something to the Helvetica font being utterly fascistic, though.
Conservatives for Kagan – Is Stuart Taylor at The Atlantic Magazine serious?! I didn’t know June 11 was a second April Fool’s Day.
