Oh, I made a game of it to be sure. ‘No,’ I thought to myself, ‘I’m a

poor college grad student…I can’t afford another magazine subscription.’

And besides, I get plenty of content from NRO. You can’t have everything,

right? So I’d just settle with one source of NR commentary. But y’all

kept at me. Oh, the blatent ads could be avoided easily enough…at

least at first. But the pithy comments in the Corner began to ad up.

What was I missing? Gee, that *does* sound like a neat cover story.

Slowly but surely, I felt my walls begin to crumble. What to do? I’ll

just skip the Corner. Yeah, that’s it! But no, that only worsened the

problem. Not only was I still getting those NRODT pushes in the regular

articles (thanks, Derbyshire), but now I was missing the witty commentary

on the day. That would never do! And then it came to me in a dream,

there was Jonah…decked out in his Locutus of Borg outfit (you know he

has to have one) and he said, ‘I am Jonahcutus of NRODT. Resistance is

Futile. You will be assimilated.’ And I knew the gig was up. So count

up another subscription to the ever expanding NRODT list. We are NRODT. Resistance *is* futile.”
