Dear Friend, As you may know, NR's offices are closed today. Still, there is much that's new, original, and worthwhile on NRO. I recommend all, but in particular these: McConnell: A Hatch Not A Lugar Kentucky's Mitch McConnell is up for reelection, and is taking a lesson from how Orrin Hatch (and not Dick Lugar) fended off a Tea Party primary challenge. It's an important inside-the-GOP story, and our Katrina Trinko tells it well. You'll enjoy reading it (we'll enjoy you're sharing it!). Inside GOP's Filibuster Plot Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul have something up their sleeves to protect the Second Amendment. Get a sense of their Obstruct-Harry Reid strategy with Eliana Johnson's report in The Corner. Public Goods Go Better With Coca-Cola Big corporations are greedy and heartless, right? Kevin Williamson's typically thoughtful essay shows how the soft-drink giant is making a big difference, gratis, in the health and lives of many Africans. If you enjoy seeing a convenient liberal myth busted, read and share this piece. The Worst Economics Writer About Kevin -- it's perfectly okay if you can't get enough of his writing. Now, if you think there isn't a worse writer on matters fiscal than Paul Krugman, Williamson is here to tell you that "he is nowhere near as destructive a force in our public discourse as is Martin Crutsinger," the Associated Press's principle economics writer. Kevin puts a face on liberal media bias, and it ain't pretty. And then there's this Dodgeball Banned A New Hampshire school official finds dodgeball to be a "human target" game. So it is now banned. Our Andrew Johnson has the story, and a video. And finally, the new edition of the "Beltway Buzz" with Bob Costa and Andrew Stiles will be up later today. Check out the NRO podcast zone here.
