Readers have asked when will I write another book. I am toying with the idea of a biography of Meg Nooner, the longtime columnist for the Broad Street Business Mirror. Her insights into national politics have helped shape the Republican Party since its humble beginnings in 1854.
That was brilliant. Nice job! Meg Nooner and Jonah Goldberg would make a beautiful couple. And all their children would look like Ben Shapiro or Megan McCain
Based on her longevity, she must live in New York City. They have something like 5000 voters on the rolls who are at least 120 years old and still voting every election. Must be something in the water. And Meg Nooner drank it.
Spot on! The BSBM should run this column biannually, in October, just like they run their famous Thanksgiving editorials annually every November.
By the way, I know you had space limitations and couldn't include this, but readers may be interested to know how Venerable Meg became so well-regarded in the first place. Turns out she wrote a very nice speech for Zachary Taylor and has been dining out on that in Washington DC ever since!
“We have had generals as president before. Do we want another [fill in the blank]?" It's interesting that the more things change the more they stay the same. No?

That sure looks like Peggy Noonan, one of Reagan's speechwriters, who has made a living as a 'conservative' pundit after the Gipper jig ended.
Brilliant. Thanks for a good laugh

Might be the end of your writing Don, next week or four weeks from now, Meg Nooner's gonna be a hard essay to follow.
Loved the write up. Thanks. A book about her would be great. I think you could make her come to life. Like your newsletter. Keep it up.
Meg Nooner has definitely lived a very long life. I love the Nooner reference, but I wonder how many others get it.
Well, that's going to be a tough act to follow.
Priceless!!!
Toooo funny.

Holy apocrypha, Batman! All that conservatism I never even heard of before. 😀
Positively brilliant. The shame of it is that Peggy's not smart enough to get it.
frick-king hill-arious!
