Great news, Bob! You can retire now. You can step down. No need to continue with what you are doing. Dave is The Man. He's got the picture. Amen.

ME:
Now that Trager is here I want to point out to you that you have about the only minds in our generation that are still alive right here. To an old man who presumes to be a leader, what Joe says sounds like a real putdown.
But it is nothing of the sort to me or to Joe.
Dave is getting a lot of fan mail here. Mark said that Dave should have his own blog.
Why reinvent the wheel?
I will, eventually, find out what this bandwidth costs me and whether I can afford it. Dave HAS his own blog, if I have anything to do with it.
Where else, in all the world, will you find a Bob and a Joe to give him hell and talent like Dave and Pain and a giant intellect -- though out of shape -- like Trager?
How many times do I have to say this:
READ THE COMMENTS.
Damn it, READ THE COMMENTS!
Did I mention READ THE COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
This blog exists to make you THINK!!!! I am lighting a fire here. YOU are the fire.
Back before he got soft from dealing with third-rate minds and intellectual corpses, Trager made a statement that has sustained me:
"Bob, your talent is that things jump out at you that other people don't even notice."
My one goal is for YOU to be the ones that things jump out at.
To my regret, Dave isn't there yet. Trager has gotten too intellectually soft to be there yet.
But I have never before found a group of minds that are so close!!!
If you read my first book in my own name, you will wonder why it evoked such a furious response. Everything in it is political common sense today. But,as I keep saying, it provoked an infuriated cover article in National Review.
Take the BASICS. Go back to the BASICS. Notice what no one else notices.
You HAVE a blog.
USE the damned thing!
