#1 I did read the whole thing, but almost stopped when he mocked George Will. It's been a while, but I remembered he wrote some good stuff about baseball, once. This is probably not the piece I remember, but it's pretty good.

#2 NRO went downhill after they've fired Derb for saying what everybody thinks about Black/White/USA.

#3 I remember getting the call from Jeff Smulyan, inviting me and a guest to a Mariners' game in his box. Pretty cool. Right behind first base, and a fresh Corona with the wave of a hand.

Then, George Will entered the box. I had just finished reading Men at Work, and had loved it. Oh, and Junior and his dad were playing, and the Mariners were playing New York.

Once in a lifetime.

#4 Look, NR isn't what it once was. It used to be a stronghold of conservatism, but unfortunately today, it has been taken over by the Beltway Party. People who are 100% OK with being perpetual 2nd place to Democrats, because they mostly agree with them about how vile Americans are.
