A line from Steyn too good not to share:

And there is Liberia, where drug-fueled gangs of machete-wielding adolescents terrorize shanty towns and changes of government are marked by the ceremonial feeding of the outgoing President’s ears to himself and of his genitalia to the incoming President (on the grounds that the former leader’s powers are contained therein. Which would certainly add a bit of culinary variety to the New Hampshire primary’s rubber-chicken circuit).

"

This has absolutely nothing to do with what we're discussing. :>)

Steyn is far too good to have come out of the American public school system. As it turns out, he didn’t.

Good for him; he has the perspective that a navel gazing nation often doesn’t have. I enjoy his writing, his world view, and especially his prose, and I get far too little of it.

Thank you.
