[I am fighting a migraine, so I am recycling a column from earlier in the week that seems appropriate to the task] Joe Biden’s campaign is hiring a meme manager. As the president would say, “no joke.” They really are. Can you imagine the gems that will be produced? This will make for good business […]
I don’t know if this is the result of a preference cascade (when there is a massive shift in public opinion that is self-perpetuating) or merely an interesting bump in the road, but Donald Trump is having a very good few weeks. At least when it comes to public opinion and support. He appears to […]
Greta Thunberg is in the news again, and it’s as good a time as any to reflect on what that means about our culture. What I have always found appalling about the Greta phenomenon is not the young woman Greta Thunberg, as annoying as she is. After all, Greta burst on the scene as a […]
I was born in 1964, so I am old enough to remember the late-60s protests (I didn’t understand them, but I watched both the protests and footage from the Vietnam War on the nightly news.
