Rachel-

Here are some corrections that should be made if it's not too late:

Intro chapter, pg 4

“This would have been a hell of a kicker if it were true; the
dapper president of Iran had just recently made a campaign
promise to “wipe Israel off the map,”

should read

This would have been a hell of a kicker if it were true; the
dapper president of Iran had just recently made a campaign
promise to “wipe Israel off the map,” (assuming the translation was correct, which it wasn’t)

p. 3 2nd paragraph, Skurativ should be Skuratov

p. 4 “hexagen” should be “hexogen”

p. 4 “diffused” should be “defused”

p. 10 “a wonderful metaphor for the relatively recent dynamic whereby
things occurring elsewhere now effect us all directly and with
complete immediacy”

effect should read “affect”

pg. 60

These things being relative, he is today considered—rightfully—
to be among the Republican Party’s greatest intellectual
assets. In a profile piece that appeared in mid-2009, Politico’s
Ben Smith proclaimed the Canadian-born commentator to be
“a coherent, sophisticated...”

per Wikipedia, he was born in NYC, looking at their sources, looks like he moved to Canada around age 5. Just change to “commentator,” please.

pg 68
As The Reader will no doubt have determined at this point,
the Dobson Theorem or whatever it is that we’ve decided to call
it is obviously bunk, since it stated that countries which allow
gay civil unions will see a decline in the marriage rate among
homosexuals, when in fact the opposite is true. But since we’ve
already gone to the trouble of expressing Dobson’s goofy utterances
in the form of a theorem (or rather, since I’ve gone to the
trouble—you were no help at all), we might as well punch in
these figures just to make absolutely sure:

Homosexuals Should read “heterosexuals”

p. 60

Like O’Rourke, Charles Krauthammer is a refuge from
liberalism who eventually became a highly effective advocate of
conservatism.

should be refugee

pg. 54

"Bennett does not take his break for long. “Washington
at its worst can be a viscous, sick city. Nothing so captivates
the Washington mind as the anticipation of a scandal or that
a person in power is about to fall from grace.” These words, of
course, were written just before the Clinton years;"

viscous should be vicious



pg. 95“The media is attempting to politicize the incident by
comparing Ted with Mark Foley,” he wrote, in reference to the
prominent Evangelical leader who had been snorting meth and
fucking gay prostitutes.

should be “getting fucked by,” he was a bottom
