The words contradictory and ironic come to mind as I write this article
Because I wanted to write a glowing article about my favorite writer,
Peggy Noonan, long time journalist for the Wall Street Journal.
However, you just might find an O.Hernry twist at the end.
I like Peggy's writing. Very easy to read. No ten dollar words.
Just simple one-dollar ones that I can understand. (I like George
Will. too, but every time I read him, I have to use a dictionary.)
An excellent example of Ms. Noonan's writing was her editorial
"The Divider and the Thinker," (Wall Street Journal, October 28,2011,
in which she contrasts the thinking ability of President Obama and
Representative Paul Ryan---except for her last sentence in which
she veers off into the realm of the inaccurately inplied that Mr.
Obama's popularity numbers had been going up.
Unfortunately, on the same day Peggy wrote this line, Obama’s
popularity had fallen to 42% and his handling of the economy had
landed at 35% as reported by Fox news.
(However, two days after I wrote this, Mr. Obama's numbers
dramatically, thanks to the Herman Cain mess. So, she wasn't far
off the mark.)
