Mark Steyn is very funny but he comes out a theater tradition which I would naturally enjoy. Most of these newspaper “humorists” just don’t make me laugh.
Not to belabor it but think of the days when Mark Twain, Bret Harte, James Townsend and Ambrose Beirce wrote for the papers, a tradition continuing on up to Will Rogers.
Another indication of just how far the papers have fallen.
