It’s not about the money. I know a tree hugger when I see one. I’m thinking Sierra Club award here, Jonah. Shall we call it NRODGT? But for those of you still into enlightened self-interest, rest assured that your money will do a great deal more than simply save a few trees. I’m a faithful follower of NRO, but I cannot do without my NRODT. It actually saves me money. I’m too busy just now to buy VDH’s Mexifornia. Reading NR’s Mexifornia cover allowed me to cheat Professor Hanson of a few precious dollars. And NR teaches me. I’m a latecomer, and don’t know much about the twists and turns of modern conservative thought. Ramesh’s NR pieces enlighten me about my own heritage. I also found John Fonte’s recent NR cover on the place of patriotism in the various currents of conservatism tremendously clarifying. Kate O’Beirne’s cover on women in the military was wonderful, as is Roger Scruton’s current cover on love, sex, and marriage. Like NRO, NR contains multitudes. After the war, there were great counterposed pieces–one lauding our military success and one criticizing the war plans. That juxtaposition taught me something. The same is true of the range of pieces on the prospects for democracy in post-war Iraq. (Loved Derb’s recent take on imperialism.) Against expectations for the print medium, I think you’ll find that most NR pieces are at least as short as pieces in NRO. In fact, I’ll take a chance and say that NR pieces are actually shorter on average than NRO pieces. So even busy people will be able to scarf down conservatism in bite sized bits. I guess between tree hugging and catering to people with an MTV level attention span, we may not be so conservative after all. So save a tree! –Subscribe to NRODGT.
