Sunday Steyn...

Mark Steyn has this marvelous talent for discovering new perspectives on politics and the state of the planet, and then teaching us about it while simultaneously inducing belly laughs and cracked faces from prolonged over-stretched grinning. He can do this even when the perspective is painful – as Mary Poppins said: “Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down in the most delightful way!”

Except Mr. Steyn delivers the sugar by the truckload.

To a political junkie like myself, today's column is one of the funniest I have ever read. I read some parts of it four or five times, just to savor the wit on display. Here's one passage, just to tease you:

The Democratic primary season seems to have dwindled down into a psycho remake of “Driving Miss Daisy.” The fading matriarch Mizz Hill'ry (Jessica Tandy) doesn't want to give up the keys to the Democratic Party vehicle but the dignified black chauffeur Hokey (Morgan Freeman) insists it'll be a much smoother ride with him in the driver's seat. Yet, just as he thinks the old biddy's resigned to a nomination as Best Supporting Actress, the backseat driver plunges her hat pin into his spine, wrests the wheel away and lurches across the median.

...but really, you don't want to miss the whole darned thing!
