i like the writing of sowell, also george will. i also read maureen dowd until the ark paper quit carrying her. we have a gent down here, gene lyons, our far-left leaning writer for the editorial section, he gets them up in arms around here. read him too. i'll read just about anyone who doesn't stoop to the level of the caveman....you know--_____bad, ________good--regardless of what either is doing!
