    Always interesting. Unless he’s talking about baseball.

    I actually bought a book of his columns when I was 17.

      Agree on the baseball, to be sure.

      He has a historical perspective that I appreciate, particularly in this column.

      My respect for him grew when he and O'Reilly had that on-air spat.

        Long and interesting essay.

        That said you don’t need a treatise on why Trump isn’t a fascist, it was just one of many vomits produced that the lambs who couldn’t think for themselves believed.

            "Trump isn't a fascist, technically" is courageous edge lord thought in Will's current social circles.

              Fascism requires the overthrow of democracy. #Cancelculture is where the discussion needs to happen.

                All the most perceptive and interesting cultural commentators I read or listen to seem to agree. And most of them come from the left originally, so that's saying something.

                  Will jumped the shark ten years ago.

                    That's probably the most unsurprising thing I'll hear all day.

                        Definitely.

                        I also wish I had done the same, so, there's that. I was reading a book of missives by Mr. Ted L. Nancy at 17.

                          When I was 17 I was drinking a significant amount of Vladivar vodka (made in Warrington) and discovering Charlie Parker.

                          I still don't know what went wrong.
