Just to see all your articles and posts re-parsed in a paradigm shift by that lot would be a worthy experiment in it's own right. Wouldn't you say? Be a mensch, fess up, and join the tribe. Steve-

If conflated with the gay population, more the better." Quit talking smack about Marty Peretz! “Of course, to some on the internet- everything is about the Jews.

Presumably, it will become even more gay under Hughes, but it will be interesting to see if it becomes less Jewish under its new WASP owner. Probably not. Foer's book "How Soccer Explains the World" is comically obsessed with finding every conceivable Jewish angle to soccer, which is an awfully gentile field.

I don't think their particular brand of liberalism is all that popular now. I'm sure Foer is able as an entrepenour but the magazine has since it's inception been, for example, nominally pro war. The guy who runs it is always saying awful stuff about muslims. I guess it's not all that far from the Atlantic though. I’m very skeptical.
