"Dead or alive?" someone asked. I shook my head. "The way you imagined it, is Osama dead or alive?"

Alive, for now. But that will change soon I think. . .

Peggy Noonan writes another 4 bagger. Thanks for posting this Pokey. Thanks for the ping, Sabertooth!

LOL = "At night, Maureen Dowd dreams of writing stuff like this."

And Maureen can only dream of looking like Peggy! She's so lovely, so calm, soft-spoken, a truly beautiful woman.

Peggy Noonan's face mirrors her writing, her writing echos her voice.

I bet she doesn't even scream at her teen-aged son.

Does anyone know her booksigning schedule? I hope she comes to the Atlanta area, and I hope I don't miss it.

My friends, this is the kind of column I used to do now and then before the world changed. I tell you what I've been doing and thinking and if you're interested you get a cup of coffee and sit down and read along, and if you're not you can go back to OpinionJournal's main page, or Drudge, or Salon, or Free Republic.

I love you, Peggy Noonan.

Let's hope this will become true in all our inner cities. I love the way Peggy gently brings in the thought about Our Lady of Guadeloupe, the Patroness of the Americas. Last year, the juxtaposition of this feast day and the Supreme Court decision gave me great confidence in the future. Peggy knows that her readers who remember this conjunction do not need a reminder spelled out, and her readers who have no feeling for Our Lady of Guadeloupe can not be offended by anything she touched in this column. Brilliant writing!

"I find myself drawn to and heartened by people who can't get over Sept. 11. Because I can't either, and I never will."

I can so relate.

Thank you for the pings!

I always enjoy Mrs. Noonan. She always reminds me of a southern woman, the way she writes. It's surprising to learn she was born and grew up in Brooklyn. (Not that it is a bad thing to be a northerner, just different styles)

I think of her writing like a prize rose. When I find I don't agree with all her thoughts, the whole of it is just so lovely that you hardly notice, and don't even mind, the ocassional thorn.

Thanks again, so much, for the flags.

"Believe me, as soon as 343 Internet executives rush into a burning building and die so that strangers can live, I'm gonna drop the firemen like a rock and celebrate executives."

Oooh, a little biting sarcasm from the lips of America's greatest contemporary writer. It's a good thing!

A few on another thread thought that Mark Steyn was a better writer than Ms. Noonan. I didn't swoon at his writing the only time I gave it a try (maybe a bad day for him or for me), but if he can beat her with the pen, I'm willing to give it another go.
