Politics and Culture

I don't care if Florence King wrote about the proper method for clipping toe nails (strait across, by the way), I'd read every word. A bisexual-atheist-conservative, she's the wittiest essayist I've ever read; she makes Jonah Goldberg sound like Rosie O'Donnell, although I enjoy Jonah as well. I'm most familiar with her work for National Review and remember the sadness I would feel upon appoaching the end of her column, as the rest of the magazine was never as entertaining. You can read those on Stet Dammit. I won't use Mencken as a frame of reference because I refuse to pretend to have read him like most people who quote him, but she is unPC, acidic, a dead shot to the heart of the matter, substantively irreverent and habitually contrarian. How counterculture is she? She has neither a web page or a blog! The link aboove is to her Wiki entry, but I'll also link to a review she wrote of Ann Coulter's book, Godless which reads like Mozart reviewing Salieri.
