A British conservative recently asked me what I wear when writing the component parts of a collection like this. And if you actually read the copyright page of this book, you deserve to hear my response to him.

Names, places, characters, and incidents are the product of the author’s imagination, or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. And my answer, of course, was “Shorts, Tory.”
