Crunchy cons and light bulbs

Rod Dreher posts my contribution to the raging, out of control Crunchy Con debate over at NRO. As might be expected from a young twit such as myself, my comments are entirely superfluous, literally a couple of dashed off light bulb jokes.

How many Cruncy Cons does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Only one, because any more than that would get bogged down in an argument over whether or not it was really better to get all light from the sun.

All of them, together (preferably in family units), because community is more important than efficiency.

Forget that. The real question is: did the light bulb come from Wal-Mart?

Anyway. I’ll save my substantive comments for later (though I recommend reading Michael’s thoughts in the meantime), and simply say that the most revealing thing about the Crunchy Con discussion is just how much we right-leaning pundit types love to theorize and pontificate. In two days, that book blog has amassed more than 18,000 words of heady (hence the need for light bulb jokes), nitpicky and generally entertaining—to self-styled surveyors of the cultural and political realms—Crunchy Conflict. All this from a snarky remark about produce.
