Doug Ireland

And he's good on Dean
---

I used to read Ireland in the Village Voice, and I've read him occasionally in the Nation, but I've been paying more attention to him than ever on the web. He's not a technocrat or a defender of technocracy, he's neither a futurist nor a libertarian (and not a technophile) and his internationalism is as matter-of-fact, as assumed, as the middling and puerile -unexamined- nationalism of Laura Rozen, Matthew Yglesias and Josh Marshall. Not for nothing is Marshall's new pet project now on my link list as 'Starbucks'.
