Anecdote from Nordlinger

Jay Nordlinger's Impromptus on National Review Online:
"Jay, I [Jay's reader not Anderson] was in a chat room discussing politics/flirting with a girl. Well, she made some quip about how we pay to rebuild Iraq, but the terrorists don't pay to rebuild the WTC and this is Bush's fault. So I said, 'Well, they're terrorists, they blow up buildings, we kill them, and then we help whoever's left rebuild. Sure it costs more money, but it's why we're the good guys and they're the bad guys.'
Her response: 'You must be a Republican.' Man, that says a lot. Does it ever!"

Nordlinger cuts to the chase and his columns are insightful and hilarious. Mr. Nordlinger is a well published music critic in NYC as well as a political writer and is a frequent contributor to The New Criterion and other mags.
