Two Open Letters
Dear Jacob T. Levy,Given that Eugene Volokh has become, shall we say, a much less reputable blogger of late -- throwing around the idea of making torture a regular fixture in the justice system only to withdraw the suggestion upon realizing it was hugely unpopular, and now giving the benefit of the doubt to the slanderous claim that a large swath of the "left" is actively supporting the Iraqi insurgency's continued campaign against the civilians of Iraq -- I have an offer for you.
I know you've taken a break from blogging in order to meet a variety of real-world obligations, but when you finally come back, why not join The Weblog? The benefits for you would be obvious, and The Weblog community would experience increased diversity in perspective and would likely garner a greater audience through hosting the posts of a widely admired figure in the blogosphere.
Sincerely,
Adam Kotsko
Dear Crooked Timber,
Do not steal my idea of inviting Jacob T. Levy to join your blog when he returns to blogging. I called it.
Thank you,
Adam Kotsko
