This celebration of Jeremy Clarkson’s career at the Sunday Times has many of his columns and is a good way to spend some time.

I’ve been a fan of Megan McArdle’s writing since she was with The Atlantic. She can be very good on economics, but her privilege starts to show when writing about middle America and flyover country. She is missing the point on Dylan Mulvaney.

When I was in my teens, Muhammad Ali fought Joe Frazier, George Foreman and Ken Norton. I’m not a fight fan, but those fights were fun. Muhammad Ali could talk shit and move in the ring. Those guys were like giant dinosaurs slugging it out. MMA holds no appeal to me, but I have enjoyed Joe Rogan since NewsRadio. Rogan was shaken up by Tamikka Brents getting beaten up. Apparently Brents didn’t even know that she would be fighting a man.

Unmentioned in the article, and presumably the address to the class, is that Suzy is married to Jack Welch.
