It's a terrible thing to discover feet of clay on a hero

It's a terrible thing to discover feet of clay on a hero.

On July 2nd I sent Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online a polite email pointing out a serious error of fact in his otherwise excellent book "Liberal Fascism." To date there has been no response from Jonah on this matter and he has not recanted his error on his Liberal Fascism blog accessible via the National Review home page. . . so I'm very regretfully forced to go public.

To his everlasting shame, for he has been known to preen on his wide comic book knowledge, in Note 7 on page 438 of "Liberal Fascism" Mr. Goldberg wrote of Superman, "There is a certain nationalistic conceit to the character in that he was born in the American heartland and imbibed all that was good of Americanism."

Superman was raised in the American heartland and he certainly did imbibe all that was good of Americanism, but he was born on the planet Krypton.
