I didn't think anyone serious would publish such a thing. So either Nation isn't serious or I was mistaken.

Oh, The Nation is very serious indeed. Generally dull and boringly so. Someone compared it to The National Review on the right; I think of the Weekly Standard as in the same category.

However, some very important pieces get printed there. I just read Tony Judt's tribute to Edward Said online today (a review of a new collection of Said essays), looking for the ad. Easily the best tribute of the several I've read. Turns out, despite vigorous disagreements, they were good friends.

As for the ad, I'm hoping to take a look at Barnes and Nobles tomorrow. Looks like a mistake, however.

If true, though, it's yet one more indication of how divisive our politics have become.
