Feh. Double feh, I say. Feh and fie!

National Review has always been about politics and culture. Ditto NRO and mega-ditto The Corner. The problem at hand is that these have been very, very, very political times and as the virtual water cooler of the Right, the water cooler talk has been disproportionately political. I have no doubt the blithery — whether that’s a word or not — shall resume and redouble in the days, weeks, months, years and millennia to come. Indeed, I for one have a large pile of Debby’s odd links to post — once I fix a troublesome technical problem — and a host of absurd conversation starters in the hopper. All in good time, my friends.

Meanwhile, I’m typing this as the Goldbergs pull over in Albany for some pizza. We’re heading to upstate New York for Thanksgiving.
