As they say in the glacier business, ice work if you can get it.

LOL. Styne's pen really is mightier than the sword. The guy has a wonderful gift for turning phrases.

Creative, funny, and a damn good and very concise thinker.

I think part of the appeal of his incisive wit is that he has an “ear” for the common turn of phrase, and routinely spoofs it. “Nice work if you can get it” is something that real people would say, while the groupthink left wouldn’t even think in those terms, or the potential application to a more humorous turn.

Brilliant and wonderful; I adore Steyn.
