New York Magazine rates The Disunion Blog at the apogee of the north-south Highbrow/Lowbow side of its Approval Matrix, and well on the Brilliant side of its east-west Despicable/Brilliant range. Thanks, New York! Just wait for the next few installments–it gets brillianter!
The columns are going well. They have received a ton of reader comments, and I’ve heard from lots of friends, including McCracken Posten (who recommended it to friends); James Rosen (who recommended it to Mike Huckabee); Duane Swierczynski (who mentioned it is his blog: Rus Wornon (who also mentioned it in his blog); Scott Yates (who tweeted it); Lorraine Cademartori (who facebooked it); Kurt Andersen; Graydon Carter (“a brilliant idea, exceptionally well executed”); David Walker (“capturing a voice that is contemporary but just redolent of earlier press – quite an achievement”); Michael Hainey; and Josh King. Thanks one and all,
