Enough With The Cliches!

Jonah Goldberg is one of my favorite authors/pundits. If you don't follow news and politics much then this is the one guy you should follow. And anyone from any part of the political spectrum can have fun reading his work. He's an intellectual heavyweight but he can talk about the current issues using metaphors and images plucked from pop culture. People who are very political tend to take themselves too seriously and much of what's written and said is melodramatic. Goldberg keeps his sanity by injecting humor into his commentary. He seems to know that most people don't care about what happens in politics and he has an outsider's perspective that I appreciate.

Here he talks about his current book, Tyranny of Cliches, a book about all the platitudes that he hears from the left. He takes them apart one by one. He also talks a little about his first book, Liberal Fascism. Enjoy,
