Lake Wobegon sticks it to the French

Garrison Keillor rips Bernard-Henri Lévy a new one, and deservedly so, in the New York Times Book Review today. His set of pointlessly long articles in The Atlantic were "shallow and pedantic."

Keillor strikes to the heart of the matter when he calls out Lévy for being, "short on the facts, long on conclusions."

Read the whole thing for the full effect.

For the record, I pointed this article out to Alec.
