I was idly considering compiling a big ol’ year-end round-up of my take on 2011, but the Pundette has put together such a grand anthology of Steyn bits from the last 12 months I don’t think I can improve on it. Some of it I’d clean forgotten I’d written.
The Obama stuff’s in there and the spending, and the Weiners and Sanduskys, but I like the way the selection focuses on the broader themes underlying the freaky news items. As I always say, in the end culture trumps economics. The real problem in Greece isn’t the Greek finances so much as the Greek people. That’s a good general rule.
So Happy New Year – and let’s get real in 2012.
Just want to thank you, Mark, for the great work you've done the past year. The gallows humor helps to make the hardest truths palatable, and keeps the reader from walking away at the enormity of it all. Keep at it.
