When the Gazette last left Reuven’s G20 Summit, he was hoping the rioting idiots would all catch colds because it was pouring in Toronto.
The National Review Online, however, was not as kind:

I’ve never been on a boat, except maybe a row boat.
Hi T&I ~
The boat is the best part of Gardner’s Gazette? How encouraging. I’m still in the middle of tweeking this post so you’ll just have to come back later.
See you later.

I changed the boat image out, T&I. I’m telling you this so your comment won’t seem misplaced.
