This is the new Tory Anarchist — pretty much the same as the old Tory Anarchist, but now hosted on its own server (thanks to Mike E.) and with all the freedom that entails. There are a few transitional fixes that are still be worked on, such as the blogroll and a new author bio [...]
I don’t anticipate any downtime for the site, but I’m about to switch servers, so expect the unexpected.
Like Jay-Z or Too $hort, I was in temporary semi-retirement for a while there. Well, not quite: actually I spent the Christmas and New Year seasons in Texas and have now moved to Wilmington, Delaware. While I haven’t blogged for a while, I haven’t been completely idle. My take on “liberaltarianism” is in the current [...]
Daniel Larison and historian William Hay have both responded to that provocative Viereck post of mine. There’s a limit to how far I’ll defend Viereck, but I should be able to answer at least a few of the charges against him. It’ll have to wait, though; blogs demand instant response, but deadlines are more demanding [...]
Light posting for the nonce as I hurriedly catch up on a few neglected projects. One of those, my review of Jeremy Lott’s In Defense of Hypocrisy, should be in the next TAC, out in two weeks or so.
I still have limited internet access at the moment — more substantial posts will be back by the beginning of next week.
In the meantime, a quick reader survey: is The Tory Anarchist due for a re-design? What blog designs should I be ripping off drawing inspiration from? Email me or leave a comment.
In an hour or so I have to catch a shuttle from Auburn, Ala. to the Atlanta airport. Get back to D.C. around 7 pm — and then I have to leave again at 3 am(!), taking Amtrak to Connecticut. Needless to say, I wouldn’t be taking a 3 am train if I had [...]
Sorry for the light posting at the moment: I've been finished up a review of Gordon S. Wood's Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different, which despite its banal title is not your ordinary Founding Fathers-fest. If all turns out well, it should be in the next TAC. Otherwise, it's one for the [...]
Like a magic lamp or Uncle Sam, I’m here to grant your wishes. Or at least, I’ll entertain suggestions: if you’d like to see more Latin, more Robert Nisbet, less politics, shorter posts, trashy pop-culture recommendations, etc. let me know — leave a comment on this thread or email me.
I’m thinking of adding [...]
