Reason Writers Around the Internet: Katherine Mangu-Ward Talks Tigers, Flugelhorns, and Brevity at Bloggingheads

Senior Editor Katherine Mangu-Ward talks with Conor Friedersdorf of Dailies Dish and Beast at Bloggingheads.tv about the convenient moral equivalency of Keith Olbermann and the virtues of duct taping your child to the piano bench. Mangu-Ward erroneously claims that Associate Editor Peter Suderman plays the flugelhorn. (It's the tuba, for the record). They wrap up by noting that anything worth saying in the State of the Union should only take 20 minutes. Naturally, it takes 53 minutes to get to that point.

Plus bonus Mangu-Ward diavloging on higher education here at InsideAcademia.tv.

That actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

Same standard should apply to Blogging Heads.

Especially when it's Conor.
