D. Keith Mano was the funniest guy writing for NR in the "good ole days". He had some interesting turns of phrase.
For example, he did an essay on going to an X-Rated movie and he described how people were sitting as "cubic furthest packing".
A true comedy genius who is very much missed.

Well, we are getting there. Reading the book would only make life more nauseating for people than they are experiencing now.
I would just be happy if the elites were all dumped off the bridge and swallowed up in those whitecaps...or is it black caps?

People are not that stupid.
You have to have strong military and police organizations to enforce that level of destruction.
If you do not, local militia will self-organize, and create state and national lever military organizations to form a more perfect union.

Yes I looked forward to his column every two weeks. Didn’t always appear though.
He made his fortune running his family’s company, which made plumbing compounds that were used for steam heating systems (radiators) of the type that were ubiquitous in NYC last century.
He seemed to have some slight knowledge of goings-on in another type of family wielded considerable influence in the culture of NYC, if you take my meaning. He hinted at this very obliquely.

Mano was great. Florence King, too. A reminder of the good old days of NR.

It can be found in thousands of public libraries. Your local library can get it for you.

I bookmarked it because I want to buy these books and will reference this when I am searching for their names.
Sometimes people bookmark to come back to an article later, to read or share with family and friends.

That is fiction. This is reality, and why we need to reelect President Trump!
Also, the best reasons in America to reelect President Trump!
