Asides

James Poulos and Sonny Bunch both have blogs at the newly-launched Doublethink Online. Thoughts on the best cheap beers, the rise of the humanzees, Hillary's foray into the 'No Spin Zone,' and much, much more. All brought to you by the very capable Peter Suderman, now DT's online editor. Check it out!

The spring issue of the Claremont Review of Books is finally out. Joseph Tartakovsky reviews the latest Joseph Epstein collection; Ross Douthat defends Christianity against the new anti-theists; and I quote all the funny bits from the new P.G. Wodehouse anthology. In bookstores now. (Or subscribe and read it in PDF.)

Even tardier than the CRB is the spring issue of Doublethink. But have no fear, it's on the way to the printer now. Some highlights from the new mag:

James Kirchick on the return of Jeff Gannon
Sonny Bunch travels to Hollywood to check out an adaptation of "Harrison Bergeron"
Phoebe Maltz revisits The Israel Lobby controversy
Laura Vanderkam on a new form of Catholic education
Liam Julian talks to the Eduwonk, Andrew Rotherham
And fiction by Eve Tushnet

Doublethink in the News

DT contributor Rita is mentioned in the Guardian today:

[Benjamin] Franklin is a curious bird: a witty writer, skilled diplomat and a genius who invented lightning conductors--and yet, one can't help imagining, slightly irritating. "He seems like the type of guy," writes the blogger Rita, "who might have a lot of Facebook friends who, upon further questioning, would admit they accepted his friend request only because they didn't want to offend him."

Check out the entire article here.

Also, the Winter issue of Doublethink is coming out soon. A sneak peak at the table of contents:

Nicholas Desai on "interesting economics" at George Mason University
Sean Higgins on Reason correspondent Ron Bailey's turnaround on global warming
Ashley Parker on young, conservative speechwriters
James Poulos on ten years of Radiohead
David Donadio on Ron Paul communications director, Jesse Benton
