You Heard It Here First
Way back in May, we informed our dear readers about the birth of a new blog, The Western Word. The author has since dropped his anonymity, so I'm delighted to introduce you to Nathan Wirtschafter, a friend of Ralphie and mine, a smart lawyer, and a heck of a nice guy. Before he moved to Israel, we enjoyed many a carnivorous meal together.

Well, less than three months after its first post, The Western Word has hit the big time. RealClear Politics, a major blog linking to the best of daily conservative commentary (and on our blog list) linked to Nathan's article Final Prayers in Gaza.

So go read it, and pat him on the back, and check in with him occasionally if you want a smart right-wing perspective on what's up in Israel.

And in the future, when we tell you about something, take our word for it that it'll be huge in three months. - served up by Doctor Bean @ 9:41 PM
