Not much in the way of political commentary crosses the line into public service. Here's one that does.

If you aren't familiar with Andrew Klavan's brilliant polemics at Truth Revolt, PJ Media and City Journal, you're in for a treat. He's also a best-selling author of mystery novels under the pen name Keith Peterson. Remember that great Michael Caine crime thriller, "A Shock to the System," from 1990? Klavan wrote the screenplay, based on a book by British author Simon Brett.

When it comes to concise slams of "the Reverend" Al Sharpton, Klavan's withering evisceration here sets the bar. Seldom have I come across criticism so simultaneously funny and informative --
