OMG...I admire Peggy's writing but you have zinged her hard...hitting her with a nasty blast of truth.
Hey...you're not bad in the Peggy Noonan/Maureen Dowd department yourself!
Sorry I offended you, but Maureen Dowd...ugh! You really know how to hurt someone, don't you?
Are you a Rachmaninoff fan? I'm aware of the difference in our spelling, but it's the same composer...it's spelled this way on my CD. Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43 - Variation XVIII is one of my favorite pieces of music. I bet Maureen's never heard of it!!
