— At the risk of giving the horrible Milo Yiannopoulos any more attention, since he deserves none, it is well worth readingDavid  French writing at NRO about how Milo represents the right’s current (and somewhat dangerous) “rage against the machine.” Really good stuff.

— Matt Lewis explains why Milo is an indication of the intellectual, ideational, and moral rot threatening to overtake the conservative movement. Also very insightful — but do not read if you will be offended by direct quotations of Milo’s vulgar freak show.
