As many of you noticed, Victor Davis Hanson wasnโ€™t here in his usual Friday sanity check position last week. He was recovering from a close callโ€“a perforated appendix in Tripoli.

The resilient man he is, Victor is back this week, here. He includes a note about his health emergency in his new column.

He talked to Hugh Hewitt yesterday about his Red Crescent miracleโ€“without painkillers! What a manโ€ฆ.

Our sincerest thanks to the people who made sure he came back in one piece.
