Many look forward to the NYT crossword on Sunday. I look forward to Jay Nordlinger’s Sunday items.

I hope I’m not the only one.

Another excellent summing up

My wife and I were surprised to read yesterday evening that we had just been unwitting dupes of George Soros and sinister organizations such as SEIU and Planned Parenthood by virtue of our participation in the local No Kings protest

If so, the least George and such organizations could have done was pay for our lunch outside afterward

I believe my Mom’s assessment of Mike Johnson would have been unctuous.

Frequently, there are little jewels hidden in Jay’s writing. An example: “He appended an image from a dictionary…” using “appended” instead of the common and more clinical “attached”. I plan to incorporate this into my own everyday usage.

I see a YouTube computer generated voice pronounces "wolf" with a long "o".

"He was one of the most famous literary critics in the country."

Because I'm a goofball, the phrase "most famous literary critic" brought to mind "best gas-station sushi in Arizona."

But seriously, a review of his Wikipedia entry told me that Mr. Lehmann-Haupt was a fascinating and accomplished person. As I often say regarding Mr. Nordlinger's subjects, "I'm happy to know this person exists."
