I hesitatingly renewed my subscription to New York Magazine last month. I really like the magazine, but it leans left and at times is too risque to have around my children. My first post-lapse issue came yesterday. One of its first features: A profile of the New York Times' new columnist, Ross Douthat (entertaining pdf link). I'd been reading Ross Douthat for a few years, primarily in The Atlantic. I always liked his stuff and thought, "Where has this guy been? We seem to think a lot alike, and not just because we're both conservative." It turns out the guy is a Catholic convert and a fan of G.K. Chesterton (it's not often you see a Times columnist identify GKC as one of his "heroes").

Once you read Chesterton, you start to think differently. Maybe that's why the guy resonates with me.

By the way: He's only 29.

Hey, it's not like its Ramadan! Lighten up: Opening Day is Good Friday this year. The MLB couldn't tweak the schedule by 24 hours?

That's all for today. Late night at the office last night. Jammed this morning.
