Dear Reader (Including those of you under sealed indictment in Chicago),

I have to write this quickly because I have to head down to the National Review Institute Ideas Summit and Basket Weaving Expo to debate — or "engage" — my friend and boss Rich Lowry on the question of how conservatives should think about nationalism.

I have a lot on my plate these days, figuratively speaking ("And quite often literally speaking, too" — The Couch). Indeed, my days are a blur. (My nights, a blood-soaked terror.)
