Dear God, No.

This, I presume, is a joke:

It remains to be seen if Rosenthal fills [Kristol's] spot with a conservative or libertarian voice. But some of the writers he's spoken favorably of include the National Review's Byron York and The Atlantic's Megan McArdle.

Or it's an exorcise in sadism -- finding the only writer alive who will make Times readers nostalgic for Bill Kristol.

Way to go, guys!
