Mark Steyn Is A Genius, Edition I
Somehow I've let three weeks tick by here without mentioning Mark Steyn. This is a complete travesty.If you read any right-wing blogs, you've surely heard of him, and if you haven't clicked to read his stories, you're really missing out. He combines elegant prose with devastating wit to form an intoxicating mixture unlike any other writer in the world. His columns are regularly printed in no less than six countries on four continents.
Since his website, SteynOnline, is still on hiatus due to what's being rumored as a personal illness, I'll take it upon myself to update the world to his unique talents until he gets better. Why, you might ask? Let's just say I owe him one.
His most recent effort is from yesterday's Chicago Sun-Times, titled
"He's A Worldbeater, All Right". If he's still ill, I wish I could be so sick. A brief taste:
On Sept. 11, the world came unspun: There's no shame in acknowledging, as Condi Rice did last week, that previous policy -- Republican and Democrat -- toward the Middle East is wrong. But there's something silly and immature about a party that, from Kerry to Boxer to Byrd, can't get beyond spin, grandstanding and debater's points.If you've never partaken of Steyn's heady columnist cocktails, do yourself a favor and read the whole thing. It's smooth and invigorating.
