Art Buchwald is dead
Art Buchwald provided my introduction to American politics. I started reading his collections when I was in Grade 6. It was a bit weird, reading weekly satirical columns on events that had happened a decade earlier (when Carter was in power I was reading Buchwald's take on the Six Day War), but I learned a lot. And laughed too. I still have those cheaply bound paperbacks.
A tip of the hat to my old buddy Jason Medhurst, who, for some reason, passed the first of those Buchwald books on to me. I was hooked right away.

A very insightful young man this Jason Medhurst must have been. Unusual for someone so young (yourself included) to be reading such heady fare.
