August 26 Open Letter to The Wall Street JournalTo Daniel Henninger:
I hereby elect you as the world's greatest writer.
Previously, I had awarded Paul Gigot this honor for his unparalleled turn of felicitous phrases, but alas, he was elevated to the attic of your page, never to be bylined again.
I was so taken with your continuous elegant metaphors and choice of subject in today's essay on celebretydom and idiotville, that I not only read it slowly to savor each sentence, but I also was compelled to read it aloud to my wife. She was polite enough to chuckle at the correct intervals. I especially marveled at the vision of a cliff wherein misconduct finally is un-reinforced.
It is especially rewarding to me as one who briefly was celebretized for helping introduce stress to western civilization. I have witnessed to all since then that fame and glory fleet even faster than money and are worth much less. Nothing, however, is worth as much as a good essay.
