IN LIEU OF THOSE TWO FRONT TEETH:
We generally make it a practice not to ask folks for money, on the reasonably safe assumption that the site is worth precisely what we charge for it.
However, you may have noticed the banner for Amazon gift certificates that's appeared at the top of the page? If you plan on purchasing one anyway, doing so by following that link earns us something like 6% of your total without costing you anything additional. It's pretty much found money.
Meanwhile, if you're looking to pad your Wish List in time for Christmas, perhaps you could add:
Thanks for your indulgence,
OJ
What about using the link for ordinary purchases, not gift certificates?

If you go through one of our pages to make purchases at Amazon we get a percent too.

Buy that book now or I will kill that Shia!

Posted by: oj at November 29, 2006 12:29 AMEditor Judd is the more prolific half of brothersjudd.com, a neoconservative blogsite as dedicated to providing up-to-the-minute political commentary as it is to skewering various works of the modern literary canon for being too socialistic (Dreiser), relativistic (Faulkner), or confusing (Joyce). In this book, Judd collects his own canon of opinionated experts on the topic of the future of national sovereignty. Aware that world political structures are evolving away from traditional Westphalian notions of the state, Judd fears “transnationalism,†the possibility that citizens’ rights will be infringed by international bureaucracy and their security achieved at the price of individual liberty. This timely issue will attract many readers. Those seeking robust debate will, however, be disappointed: Though some of this selection’s contributors (such as Kofi Annan) defend the spirit of international cooperation, the majority of the 30 excerpts (including those from Ronald Reagan, Walter Russell Mead, and several National Review commentators) boisterously celebrate American exceptionalism while shouting down isolationism and multilateralism alike. An argument disguised as a debate, this book will likely resonate with Judd’s many internet followers.
