Two thumbs up.

I was a little shocked by Florence King's florid evaluation of Ann Coulter's unrestrained observational style ("Watch Ann Go Whoosh!," August 7). While little pleases me more than new material from Miss King--methodically whittling great oaks to splinters as she does--I also find much diversion and no small elucidation from Miss Coulter as she juggles flaming chainsaws. A subtle, refined gourmet meal is an offering of the truly sublime, but more often I dine on simpler, if occasionally coarser, fare.
