I would also ask you to consider any of your art/culture pieces. The hard edge humor is finest kind, no argument here, but I gotta say, when you step outside of that lane I always find the A/C work a much needed balm in fraught times.
On edit - Holy fuck, I can edit! Is this new? Or has everyone else known and been keeping it from me?
Lessee...Elite Like Me (August 3) a David Brooks joint; Rebel Tell (Oct. 20), One On The I'll (Nov. 5) and a bunch more, but really, I'll go with mortimer2018 with the City Slickers I and II, or from your list, History Lessen. Or wait, what about...(and then I go on to list a bunch more).
Gotta go with "Solving the World's Problems" because I'm a sucker Irish jokes ("It's no use, Seamus. They're wantin' tree fellers and there's only two of us!")
My long term memory is whacky, short-to-mid-term nearly as cray-cray.
But with the prompt, I'd go for Family Style.
Your Mar-A-Lago pieces are a trademark here and I do believe Family Stye was the best IMO, IIRC (questionable).
Love ‘em all, if I had to pick it would be The Loyal Opposition.
I went out with Benzedrine's mom in the 70's so I'm pretty fond of that piece. Now that I think about it, it must have been her grandma.

In the back row, holding up a lighter and shouting "Reynolds Universal Robots!"
This is unbelievably tough. So much good stuff. I gave up and picked these:
Why Democrats Should Listen to City Slickers (Parts I & II)
The ultimate free speech platform Aug 12
I'm a fan of the serious history dip -- so I'd go for "Small-Time Secessionists" myself

What, no love for "You Don't Wanna Know", the elegant Taibbi takedown?
I'd say Operation Overlord - and when Musk is president I hope someone notes that you called it first.

“Family Style.” Can’t stop, won’t stop, dumping on Florida whene’er I am able
Gotta go with "The East Is Rod." It's about Rod (Rod) Dreher, after all, and it came out on my birthday!
“History Lessen.” Accurately mimicking Trump is one of your great talents, better than most others’ attempts in print or in person.
I'm going with "The Loyal Opposition". Sullivan, Noonan and Douthat is the combination from hell.
Heh. Looks like we're not much help if you were going to rely on majority vote. Put me down for "Solving the World's Problems"
