The Ukraine Debacle

showcases Joe Biden’s failures.

[Thursday-afternoon update]

From June through last month, I had been working with a bunch of young Ukrainians in Kiev (men and women). I suspect that some of them have enlisted. And the Russians are protesting the war in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

P.J. O’Rourke

RIP. He will be missed.

Little-known fact: He was a big fan of space. He was on the board of The Space Foundation. He never used email, but I sent some stuff to him once via his wife, and he wrote a nice letter thanking me.

[Update late afternoon]

John Podhoretz remembers him.

[Update Wednesday morning]

This kind of thing is why he was a national treasure.

[Monday update]

Matt Labash remembers him, as does Jonathan Last.
