Reflections of a stormy petrel

If you want to read a conservative American writer who is both a decent person and a first-rate writer, try Paul Greenberg.

Mind you, the same thing is going on on the left: just check the Daily Kos or the Huffington Papers. (Sir Bernard Levin, Arianna Huffington's late paramour, must be spinning in his grave.)
