Speaking of looms, the world’s best make the official National Review t-Shirt. Que bella! Made of 100 percent pre-shrunk, durable, takes-a-beating, washes-wonderful cotton, emblazoned with the blue NATIONAL REVIEW on a background of no-global-warming snow white, it’s something the Old Man will really appreciate. It’s only $14.99, and comes in S, M, L, XL, and XXL. Get two and we’ll throw in a third for free (which, by the way, describes out shipping and handling). Order here.

Hey, while we’re tossing out great gift ideas, how about . . . an NR mug? Two NR mugs? A full-year gift subscription to NR? Florence King’s Withering Slights? Rich Lowry’s Lincoln Unbound (signed!)? Jay Nordlinger’s Peace, They Say? Kevin Williamson’s The End Is Near? They’ll all make super gifts.
