Well, at least they are not partisan, bitter, petty, envious, jealous, mean spirited, nasty and conspiratorial over at the Washington Post.

"The Overton Window" risks falling into the tradition of other anti-government novels such as by William L. Pierce "The Turner Diaries", which became a handbook of extremists and inspired Timothy McVeigh to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995.
