Philistine that I am, I'd never heard of this apparently famous playwright, David Mamet. He recently wrote this essay in the Village Voice-and yes, I can promise this is likely to be the only time I link to the Village Voice-confessing his disillusionment with liberalism.
I post this not to gloat that one of them has come to see the light-frankly, I don't care what leftist playwrights do or believe-but because it is a different perspective on political polemics than one usually finds in our poor public discourse. I will admit, though, that is nice to hear someone on the left admit that America is a nice place.
