My LA Times Readership [Jonah Goldberg]
If you want a sense of how popular I am with the LA Times community, check out the (354 and counting) comments to my Obama national service column.
One small point in response (I know, I know: Why bother?). The 13th amendment lists involuntary servitude and slavery as different things. If they were the same, the founders wouldn't have wasted the ink repeating themselves.
Update: Yes, yes: In my haste I referred to the "founders" rather than the authors. There were no founders left alive when it came time to ratify the 13th amendment. I regret the error, particularly for all the boneheaded insults it has generated in my email box.
