Am I really sitting here watching John Dean -- RICHARD NIXON'S John Dean -- on the Daily Show essentially saying THEODOR ADORNO WAS RIGHT?!?! He's talking about his new book, Conservatives Without Conscience, and he keeps saying there's this whoooole series of studies which the public has not been told about in which we learn about how fascism arises, and he has said "the authoritarian personality" about half a dozen times!

OK, so he's also referring to Stanley Milgram's unethical and largely frowned-upon electric shock experiments, but he really does seem to be referring to The Authoritarian Personality. I am going to have to read this book. Also, I'll have to watch out for ice catching on fire and cats having puppies. And I am so going to have to stop myself from screaming I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU THE MARXISTS WERE RIGHT AND WE SHOULD BE TEACHING SOCIAL SCIENCE IN SCHOOLS! all day long.
