It really amazes me how much Jonah Goldberg's writings reflect my own attitudes. From his style of writing, his humor, and his political positions are as close as any other columnist has ever come to my own. Today is no exception:

As John Ashcroft said a month ago, "As an American who cares about our culture, I want to restrict a mass murderer's access to the public podium. I do not want anyone to be able to purchase access to the podium of America with the blood of 168 innocent victims."

Unfortunately, most of the media sees it differently. Everyone from Gore Vidal, who's covering the execution for Vanity Fair, to each of the networks, believes that if you kill a bunch of people, you automatically become fascinating and your ideas are noteworthy. Vidal told ABC news recently, "I became fascinated by [McVeigh]. First of all he's a very good, clear writer and he knows a lot about the Constitution and is very interested in the Bill of Rights."

Gosh, what a shame he had to kill all of those people to get noticed.
