No Goldbergian Analysis Today

A sleep-deprived Jonah is not an eloquent one.

Hey everybody,

This is one of those notes to let you know there will be no G-File today. I wrote roughly 3,000 words for one over the last 24 hours while doing a bunch of other stuff in D.C. and New York. The only problem is: They’re in the wrong order. Well, in fairness, a lot of the words are in the right order, but the sentences and paragraphs, not so much. And given that I am working on about two and a half hours of sleep, trying to fix it all makes me feel like someone put the pieces from three different jigsaw puzzles in the same box and I gotta figure out how to put it all together.

I can’t do it. So I’m not gonna try any more. My sincere apologies, because I despise missing deadlines.

I’m also sorry to bother you with this email. But when I don’t send an email saying there will be no G-File, a lot of people get angry about it. And I don’t want to make you angry.

Again, I’m sorry. See you Friday. (“No, you won’t. This is a ‘news’letter.”—The Couch)

Jonah Goldberg is editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Dispatch, based in Washington, D.C. Prior to that, enormous lizards roamed the Earth. More immediately prior to that, Jonah spent two decades at National Review, where he was a senior editor, among other things. He is also a bestselling author, longtime columnist for the Los Angeles Times, commentator for CNN, and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. When he is not writing the G-File or hosting The Remnant podcast, he finds real joy in family time, attending to his dogs and cat, and blaming Steve Hayes for various things.
