The Nobel Laureate for Literature, 1970

 

Some of the critics of this blog have pointed to the fact that I’m a devoted reader of National Review as evidence that, to some greater or lesser degree, I’m intellectually bankrupt and/or morally depraved.

 

Perhaps so.  But if I were obliged to choose between keeping company with Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and hanging out with Laughin’ Joe Biden, the choice would be an easy one for me.

    I don’t know… Solzhenitsyn seems like kind of a downer, while Joe Biden can even find the humor in things like an astronomical national debt, a failing economy, and the murder of American citizens overseas. If he can laugh while all that’s going on, he must be the life of any party.

    Ask some of your critics if they have the intellectual savvy and writing talent to find a berth at National Review or a periodical whose politics suits them better themselves or if it is just easier to throw stones. Your critics should be half so able as the contributors at National Review.

      My thoughts, exactly.

      It’s easier to throw stones.
