[1] National Review is pushing Dinesh D'Souza's silly and misleading book hard, running an ad that proclaims "Let the Debate Begin." This is ironic in light of the fact that I have heard not a word from NR's Kathryn Lopez about [2] my open invitation to debate D'Souza there. I guess what NR is running is really a Henry Ford-style debate invitation: you can have any color car you like as long as it's black, and let the debate begin, as long as there is only one participant.

Anyway, the debate between D'Souza and me really is going to begin, tomorrow night at 7PM PST, 10PM EST, on [3] Lores Rizkalla's radio show. You will be able to listen online [4] here.

Also, D'Souza himself has told me that we are scheduled to debate at CPAC in March, but I have heard nothing from CPAC about this myself and thus cannot consider it confirmed. I'll keep you posted.

You can read my initial responses to D'Souza's book [5] here, [6] here, and [7] here, and Hugh Fitzgerald's [8] here, [9] here, and [10] here. Also, I am just about to start writing a full review of the book.
