Gerhard Weinberg A World at Arms is considered the best single volume.  Keegan's WWI book is much better than his WWII.  Though he has a good short Atlas of maps with annotations.  I've not read Storm of War, but Master and Commander had a real complex unique argument.

Andy Ferguson is amazing at dissecting language.  Whenever he does speech analysis he is at his best.  I humbly request that he has a podcast appearance.

Zell Miller!

I agree with both of these.  A podcast would be nice too.

Newt and Rick both had on their day one plans to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  That would be another good addition.

Well...Dana Perino is worse. 

Great song choice at the end!!!!  Made my morning.

Great Hari Seldon reference. 

Mark Levin and Dennis Prager were great guests.  Bring in Dennis Miller!!!

Somewhat unrelated, how good was this John J. Miller article of top 50 conservative rock songs.

Thomas Sowell too seemed to tepidly come out for Newt.  That's two major economists.

It'd be fun to organize a Ricochet chess tournament.

Oh Jeez.  That makes the archives at the hoover institution sound like a scary place (like the final scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark).  Don't do it just for me though, I'll be fine with the transcript.  But if you do go, then the Hitchen/Garton Ash episode would be nice to watch too.  Sorry, I feel bad asking.

Peter, is there video of the Ron Reagan episode?

I still think about these posts we had on Vietnam last year as some of the most memorable.  Although I still can't explain why Vietnam was not considered containment.

Here's one old and unfavorable story of Newt as a boss. Christina Jeffrey has not come up in Newt attacks probably because it is forgotten.  It was the first attack on him when he became speaker though.

I slightly lean towards Newt too, but he definitely has that far overused cliche "baggage."
