Our thanks go out to whomever it was that put in a good word for MH. The political season is only just now starting to heat up, and there is a lot to talk about. So stay tuned...
But we just have to confess that we'd trade all of this glory for a mention by our favorite NR curmudgeon -- John Derbyshire. Good for you, Carol.
Speaking of which, is anyone else out there addicted to the Radio Derb podcasts?
No? Well you should be. Really -- where else today are you going to get that delicious old-fashioned conservative mix of sarcasm, misanthropy, sharp-tongued wit, and old-time religion? (Political religion that is, since Derb is an atheist -- nobody's perfect.)
And where else can one hear that great old conservative saying on a regular basis: "we are doomed, doomed..."

Not to diminish your achievement, but Wulfgar on the list? That's just frikkin hilarious.
Wulfgar isn't on the list -- unless you've seen something I haven't. Just 4&20 BB and LITW.
Very strange: I followed your links to some other Derbyshire stuff --- and was shocked to discover, as was Derbyshire, that "The Long Walk," one of my favorite books, was actually a hoax! I am crushed. And then I followed a few more links and noticed that the author of "The Long Walk" ended up retiring to Derbyshire, England. It's a conspiracy!
Yes, but one of the best ways to hide the real truth is to make it look like a conspiracy.
Derb is one of a kind. The fact that he has lasted as long as he has at NR is part of what makes me think that things may have started to recover around those parts.
