#2  I consider James Lileks the best essayist in the world, but if I'm right about that, Mark Steyn is half a step behind him, at most.

#1  If Rumsfeld is a "fascist" then anyone can fight fascism.

It's like Noel Coward delivering a series of devastating put-downs to Hitler.

The pen is not mightier than the sword if your enemy is confident you will never use anything other than your pen.

And these are just some of the lines that require no set up! Steyn is such an amazing writer. Each paragraph sparkles like a finely polished, indestructible diamond. When I see he's written a new column, even the anticipation of reading it is enjoyable. I feel that way about few others. Lileks is the only one that springs to mind (his recent one about Star Trek is a masterpiece too IMHO).
