I got my issue of the resurrected Baffler last night, and I'm just going to give it a very brief rave and suggest you subscribe. The current number (featuring contributions by Awl columnist Chris Lehmann and Awl pal Moe Tkacik, among many others) did something amazing: It pulled me out of my current mode of bailout fatigue and actually made me angry again. Beyond that, the writing is so good, the thoughts so well organized, that I read it all the way through in one sitting, which is no mean feat considering my attention span is so abbreviated these days that I cannot even bother to finish

What is a Baffler?
A piece of equipment used in the game quidditch?
Oh, you hit it with the Bludger?
I'm wondering if I still have an issue left on the subscription.
I used to LOVE the Baffler!
Thanks for the heads up on that!

What is a Krag? Is this the Thomas Frank thing, and is he still involved? I love his books. (I will subscribe to this anyway, just because you said to.)
Danish rifle we used in Span-Am and Philippines wars.
ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod! This good! Must order!
Mine came yesterday too! It's fantastic - maybe they need a Democratic president in power to be suitably angry about the state of things.
Early favorite: A. S. Hamrah on Thomas Kinkade & flipping houses.
How much do/did they edit Moe? Love her writing but some of those sentences go on for DAYS.
Subscribed.
And DO WANT those long Moe sentences.
I AGREE
Oh christ, I don't want to be made angry any more. The world is shit, I know. Just let me drink in peace, will you?
