I am a devoted fan of John McIntyre of The Baltimore Sun.
Anyone who loves words and word play and a good slap up the grammar noggin will too.
His review of Ascent of the A-Word: Assholism, the First Sixty Years (Perseus/Public Affairs) by Geoffrey Nunberg, the learned and urbane linguist, ends with "I encourage you to look closely at his insightful and witty book, which tells us a great deal about who we are by looking at the way we talk to one another." (italics mine)
You bet I'm buying a copy!

You don't have to publish this comment, but I saw this shark sleeping bag and thought of you. It's called the Chum Buddy.
