Which seems as good a reason as any to not bother hitting the malls today for my Christmas gift.

Seriously though: Shop with NRO here — recommendations from John Derbyshire, Myrna Blyth, John Miller, and more make gift buying much easier than waiting in line with no real plan (what I’d otherwise be doing this morning).

There are, by the way, a few surprises in here.

And while you’re here. New on NRO since Turkey: Charen, Lowry, Krauthammer, Buckley.

There’s also a Hanson (double up on VDH with his latest syndicated column here).

There’s a Kudlow.

There’s a Lopez on Rush Limbaugh and the stem-cell debate.

Speaking of: Leon Kass, Bill Hurlbut, and more, put the new discovery in perspective. As does an editorial.

Frederica Mathewes-Green has a good reason to take the kids to the mall, despite the fight for a spot.

David Kahane provides rare insight into Hollywood.

And there’s much more: on movies, on the Second Amendment, and, of course, on war. Check it all out on the homepage — www.nationalreview.com.
