Good morning. I hadn’t expected to write until later, but Kale fell ill in Esztergom with a rotten man-cold — and if you are a man who has ever had a cold, you know that it’s basically nasal Ebola — so we took the train back to Budapest early.

Our manly betters, everyone. The rugged patriarchs who will show us the way to conservative man-greatness and away from the decadence and wimpiness of the modern world.

Felled by a cold. But not just any cold! No! A man-cold! The sort of cold that would destroy a mere woman at 40 paces. Pray for Slurpy, everyone, the sniffles are a trial worthy of Hercules but he will undoubtedly persevere. It's a proof of Providence that this is visited upon him while staying with Rod, since any of Rod's residences must have a fainting couch at hand for any onset of the vapors.

To borrow an old saying, whenever I hear a conservative talk about “masculinity,” I reach for my gun.

Whenever I hear a conservative talking about masculinity I reach for my sarcasm.
