Oh, dear. One has to be gentle here, but the fact is that if you have to tell anyone you're an intellectual, you're not. And the inherited ownership of a once-great magazine does not confer any honors: those have to be earned. And judging from the names on the banner, they're cadets in a world populated by generals.

Someone said it up-thread: Trump has tapped into the rage. Cruz isn't far behind. Neither man is a fellow likely to appeal to the comfortable inhabitants of the NR boardroom, and everyone else is far behind. What to do?

Well, one thing NOT to do is to piss off the people who would normally disdain Trump as a poseur and Cruz as an amateur but who are now ready to burn the Ten Miles Square to a smoldering stubble. And that's exactly what Buckley's unworthy heirs have done. We are not, as my sainted Dr. Sowell has pointed out, in a position of reason. We've had enough. Feel the rage.

Spot on target ... but I was thinking more along the lines of “ready to turn Ten Miles Square to a pile of glowing molten glass.” That’s were the pointer of my rage meter is sitting about now.
