I'm sorry but this is bull.  The man dislikes both sides but he disagrees with the right and thinks the left didn't go far enough.  That's not the same thing.<p>In a slate profile (<a href="http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2009/04/16/cassandras/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2009/04/16/cassandras/inde...</a>) he's listed as disliking the stimulus because it wasn't big enough and wanting the banking system nationalized.  Without passing judgment on the merits of his philosophy the man is clearly a leftist.
