In Lieu of the Jolt Today….

Dear Landlubbers,

I am dashing this off before the Allure of the Seas makes port in Nassau (the Bahamas, not Long Island). Not lording it, you leaf-raking dudes and dudestresses, but really — you should have signed up for the Post-Election Cruise. How many times did I tell you this would happen, that you'd be cursing the fact that you didn't sign up, getting callouses on your hands as you deal with piles of leaves when you could have been celebrating Obama's massive defeat with over 500 fellow conservatives?

Wanted to . . . was going to . . . was about to . . . and then — the dog ate your homework. Or something to that affect. Or is it effect? Whatever it is, for your sins, say three Hail Marys, and sign up for our Alaska Summer Cruise (July 18-25) at nrcruise.com/alaska — by thus shall you atone.

Now you go over to NRO and deep dive into all the great stuff the boys and girls have published today, and then after you have had your fill, visit RichardBrookhiser.com to learn about Rick's critically acclaimed new book, Founders' Son: A Life of Abraham Lincoln.

I am reading it and it is great. Rick is a beautiful writer, and a beautiful thinker. So get Founder's Son.

Well, I see Jim Geraghty over there having a "morning jolt," so you can understand why I am filling in. Pina coladas for breakfast? Heck, you only live once.

Until tomorrow,

Jack Fowler
Publisher
