Who is this Mr. Myers? I confess I've never read his work before, but I certainly hope to fix that.

This is biting, and I agree with it, but the real appeal is how well written it is. I enjoy good writing.

Kevin is one of a few great Irish Irish journalists we have here. Regular contributor to the telegraph and the Irish times (leftist newspaper that also prints a weekly column written by Mark Steyn!) Some of his pieces, especially on the marxist IRA are extremely hard hitting. Always cheering to read.

I do too, and this one qualifies in spades. I particularly liked the syntax and content of this one: "...a brilliant intellect can often be the companion to a truly asinine personality."

One source of additional material from Mr. Myers is the Telegraph itself.  I used the Telegraph's own search engine with "Kevin Myers" as the keywords, and these are my results (the first ten out of 301):
