On Friday I was back behind the Golden EIB Microphone on America's Number One radio show. (You can find a few moments from my guest-hosting stint here.) We were preoccupied, as apparently we will be well past Thanksgiving, by the third Broward County hand count of the fifth Palm Beach machine count, or whatever rubbish we're up to now. But I also mentioned, towards the end of the show, my ambivalent feelings about Stan Lee, the phenomenally successful Marvel Comics impresario who died a few days ago at the age of 95. Meeting him was one of the great moments of my life. He looked dapper and tanned, fabulous and ageless, as he always did, and it was a delightful and unexpected encounter ...save that I was wandering through the 2000 ...

Welcome to the eighth episode of our current Tale for Our Time: Baroness Orczy's classic tale of France during the Reign of Terror, and one Englishman's determination to resist it - The Scarlet Pimpernel. As a Mark Steyn Club member from Minnesota, Brian Buehler, wonders: A troublesome quote from the book should have us all thinking about the future of our nations: 'When a country goes mad, it has the right to commit every horror in its own wall.' Is there hope for keeping what we have or do we need to know true darkness before we see the light once again? But to First Month Founding Member Robert Bridges it isn't even a question: Listen to it now.... live it tomorrow.... a primer for our times. In tonight's episode, the action moves to ...
