Derb’s progress

Alan Roebuck writes:

To be published in September: John Derbyshire’s We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism.

It’s already on Amazon; Here is the only description I could find. Summarized: Conservatism should be about realism, and reality is that we’re sunk.

Derb is like most pundits, scholars, and Western leaders in general: trying to find a new angle that will bring fame, not to do something that actually will help.

LA replies:

What else is there? Bloviate, publish, and be a celebrity, for tomorrow we die.
