I have only one quibble with your otherwise excellent column: Who is "we"? James Taranto habitually uses the imperial "we" when composing "Best of the Web Today" for OpinionJournal.com. I must admit to finding it distracting and a bit annoying.

That being said, thank you very much for the first hand report from the CPAC shindig. I have read so many different spins on the event it is quite difficult to sort fact from fiction.

What makes you think "we" was at CPAC and can give a "first hand report"?

The "we" in my column is my fiance, who went to CPAC with me, and took part in the Schneider interview as well. It is not an editorial we, which Twain said should only be used "by editors, royalty, and a man with a tapeworm."
