I say good riddance. That issue turned me off to them for life.
I subscribed to the mag for a couple of years and Buckley was still running it. I got turned on to it by Rush, and read every issue in its entirety.
The beginning of the end came when Jonah Goldberg was put in charge of National Review Online. That dude ain’t right in his head. I never understood why he had such a good rep as a writer because I found his righting sophomoric. About on the level of a writer for a high school newspaper.
I really want them to fold....or better yet, be sold. To a group that has true conservative values.
Jonah only got the gig because of his late Mama’s creds. To me, he’s a lightweight stuffed shirt.
