I’m staying at a hotel which rhymes with shmoliday flynn. Nice. Free wi-fi. When I checked in, the lady at the counter said the computer says me, Ed Capano, John Derbyshire, Andrew Stuttaford, Kathryn Lopez, Rich Lowry, Jay Nordlinger et al were all in the same room. That sounds like quite a room I told her. She didn’t get it. But she did ask if I was related to the wrestler, Bill Goldberg. I said, “Yes, he’s my twin brother.” Kidding, kidding.

Anyway. I thought you people understood that one of the selling points of these fundraisers (other than cramming as many NROers into a single room) is to make the Corner as dull as possible so that people feel like the real action is at the partay. So dull-up folks.

Taste of Chicago is in town, but it’s really too hot to walk over there. So I may eat in the hotel or nearby. I do understand that coming to Chicago and eating at the Shmoliday Flynn is akin to a hate crime, but whatya gonna do. I sweat too much when I eat as it is.

Okay, back later. Must write column, eat food.
