This past week at Ricochet, John Hinderaker rose in defense of Margaret Thatcher, took the spin out of Mrs. Obama's big vacation, pre-partied like it's 1994, urged today's young dudes to take one for the girlfriend, watched Mr. Obama shoot himself in both feet, and sized up this year's Miss Universe competition. Join us all in giving John a fond sendoff, won't you, as he returns to his fabled stomping grounds at Power Line.

I'm grateful to John for reminding me to bring a fielder's mitt along next time I take Miss Universe to a ballgame.

Surely "farewell" is not the mot juste*. Sounds very final. Arrivederci is better (or, as Lawrence Welk would say, til we meeeet again). Powerline rocks, and I never did get to ask if he knows Mike Nelson.

*This is the dipping sauce in a French Dip sammich. John Kerry told me, so it has to be accurate.

You're right, Kennedy. Arrivederci is better. (I won't dare appropriate Welk.)

What? Is the week over already? I was just getting warmed up!

Kennedy Smith, I don't actually know Mike Nelson, but my radio partner Brian Ward does, and we had Mike on as a guest on our show yesterday. He's a funny guy.

John, you've been a troublemaker every day you've been here. Many, many thanks! See you soon, I hope. And of course we see you every day on Powerline.

PS: Thanks for the posts over the weekend, too. Talk about web traffic! That's why you're the pro...
