Kel-Tec’s Su-16 Is a Cross Between an AR-15 and AK-47

it fails to do anything better than most of its competitors. When priced at

Looking Back at the Wreckage
On the occasion of his ascension to office, I congratulated readers for
surviving his first day as Prime Minister. Two years on from that blasted
day, relaying the same message is enough to make one queasy because *so
many* have not made it. Because of him. And many more are set to lose their

Monsignor Ross Douthat, apostolic nuncio to 42nd Street, has a new
complaint, or meta-complaint, above and beyond the usual ones that liberals
are too permissive about sex (1960s hippie edition) or not permissive
enough (2010s feminism)—that we can't make up our minds between the two at
all ("Can the Left Regulate Sex?"):
in its retreat from the Polanski era, its concession that sometimes it’s OK
to forbid, cultural progressivism entered into a long internal struggle
