If you're going to read just one thing today

...you ought to read this article:

It's from National Review, the conservative magazine started many years ago by William F. Buckley. The article is in the current issue, and is by Kevin D. Williamson. Apparently one's middle initial is very important at National Review.

A Happy Christmas to one and all. Peace on earth, and good will to all mankind from:

not necessarily in that order.
