The author can write. Citing Orwell as saying cooking is a “half art” is true, only chefs would vehemently object to that belittlement. You beat me to “defenestration,” but notice “peregrinations”-- akin to “peripatetic,” and “Belarusian sushi”—I am sure there is no such thing. A fine article, worthy of reading and posting. Subtle but firm and true politically, and a good vocabulary make for interesting reading.

I think that was the first article in a long time that I read all the way through. Author is a great writer.

Great vocabulary and its use is a lost art.

It is yet another metric denoting the increasing crudity and dullardry of our culture.
