Editorialist Paradise Re-Found!!

Irresistible, no matter how much or little you value the context.

The Hudson Institute has an article this week that provides an excellent summary of disquieting events in Pakistan’s remote northern province of Gilgit-Baltistan.

Yup. Gilgit-Baltistan.

Thousands of big-city newspaper editorialists have been looking for a substitute for "Afghanistan" now that "Afghanistaning" is no longer the Editorialists' Fantasy where you could write whatever righteous balderdash you wanted to and, frankly, no one gave a damn. Even better, it never affected circulation!

That ended about 9 years ago. Unpleasantries, US forces, all that.

NOW, for editorialists everywhere, there's ........

Gilgit-Baltistan!

Doesn't flow quite as well as "Afghanistan," but ya' know, these things are hard to come by. You take what you can get.

You're welcome.
