Hey, I like Jude. Sure he's weird and believes a lot of nonsense, but
he can be very amusing, and he's pretty anti-imperialist (he was for
lifting Iraq sanctions and opposes Bush's war). Jude grew up in a
union household and had family members in the CP. He think Marx would
be a supply sider today, which is silly, but it's still a helluva lot
better than his former colleague at the WSJ editpage, Bob Bartley.
