I see that John Podhoretz, in his New York Post column this morning, mentions

Noah Millman as one of his favorite

bloggers. Me too; in fact I alerted readers to Noah’s blog in my July Diary. At that time, I’d had a few e-mail exchanges with Noah & built up a mental image of him therefrom: I saw him in my mind’s eye as a sort of

elderly Jewish sage, like one of the milder prophets in Gustave Dore’s Bible

illustrations. Then we got together for a dinner date when I was in NYC one

day, and I was surprised to find him a young guy, less than 40 I think, who

just happens to have exceptionally well thought out and sensible opinions

across a terrific range of topics. Definitely one of the better blogs.
