Couple of things, fyi

Relevant to the discussion going on at a certain blog (a discussion picked up here and here, and linked to here):

• an interview conducted by my almost colleague, J Williams, in which he asks good questions about the selective interpretation of certain pieces of data that are also referred to in the blog discussion (in response, it seems, to my questioning of the decline narrative that's appealed to)



• testimony given by our professed non-pundit for the SAF
  

Which all leads me to observe: it isn't so much a lit/comp debate we're having here, but a political one. Some lit-types, after all, are taking our side.

And I've still got a C's post to do...
