You never know when someone may break out into Communist-revolutionary song:

That’s from a D.C. fundraiser. Come enjoy a night with us in February. It will be memorable, enjoyable, worthwhile…and supports all things National Review. Christopher Buckley–soon to be played by Rob Lowe on the silver screen–is graciously hosting.

Okay, I lied about the Rob Lowe thing. But Rob Lowe, William H. Macy, Katie Holmes, Maria Bello, Adam Brody, Robert Duvall, and others will be starring in the upcoming film version of his novel Thank You for Smoking.

Back to the point of this post though: NYC. Feb. 9. Christopher Buckley. Rich Lowry. Jonah Goldberg. Jay Nordlinger. Ramesh Ponnuru. Richard Brookhiser. Kate O’Beirne. John Derbyshire. Andrew Stuttaford. Be there! I do hope to see you there. Take a look at the details here. Thank you for considering. And thank you for bearing with this post. You’ll thank me for it on Feb. 9th.
