Big response on today’s Derb piece, 60+ at 11 am and counting. Many thanks to all who took the trouble to write, & please be understanding about the fact that I (& same applies to NRO colleagues) couldn’t possibly answer all e-mails if I’m to get anything else done. No 8,000-word rebuttals of evolution, for which relief much thanks–though some suggestions for further reading, some of which look interesting. Everybody very good-natured in fact, except for the odd angry lefty. (“Snob? Moi?” And N.B. where did this notion of “angry white–implicitly conservative–men” come from? In my experience, lefties in general are much angrier than us. The Right is the home of good humor. NR editorial meetings are a laff riot.) The following duly noted. (1) I mis-spelt “Mallard Fillmore,” and forgot to attach a link to his (her? its?) website (2) There are other conservative comic strips, e.g. several readers have alerted me to Day by Day. (3) Does anybody know if GWB actuallyis a Creationist? Or is this just something the lefties are putting round so they have another reason (in their minds) to snigger at him as a dimwitted yokel? Is it, actually, any of our blessed business?
