Jay's right--it's beautiful to see clashes of "liberal pieties". Here's his corner post, and here's his column. Reading JayNord is good for your soul...and your sanity. Besides seal meat, he's got some very timely thoughts on the Sotomayor nomination and what it means to be gracious. Read seriously, and read for fun.

UPDATE
Nordlinger's post for today is delicious too. I especially liked this bit:
Get this, folks (although it will be hard to stomach): “Fidel Castro criticized former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney for defending American interrogation methods against terror suspects, saying in comments published Wednesday that torture should never be used to extract information.” That is the opening of this AP story. You can see Castro’s point, too: He has always tortured people, not to extract information, but for the sheer sadistic pleasure of it.
Bastard.
Yeah. What he said.
