My absolute favorite Krauthammerism was his comment upon Obowzo’s having won the Nobel.

Charles opined that he won due to “his general splendidness.”

Its always fun reading threads about wordsmiths. It will be an inspiration to the grammar police to turn lose there aggression when they see improperly constructed sentences.

Definitely Mark Steyn. He’s a good one.

Steyn has a comedic flair that is unmatched since Emmett Tyrrell got un-funny 20 years ago at the American Spectator. But there was a time when Tyrrell's "Continuing Chaos" page was one of the most side-splitting pages in all print.

And I'd like to think that my essay on Pres. Bush's National Cathedral speech will someday be thought of as worthy to be named among the good columns.
