Not As We Wish It Were: Random Observations From The Weekend
Good morning from Delaware. I hit the ground running here at the ISI conference, and have barely had time to breathe. Thank God for coffee, else the remnants of the Man Cold and the jet lag would have torn me down. Our dear Linda Arnold brought me Sudafed for the trip, which, along with strong coffee, is keeping me going. Thank you, Linda, for taking such good care of your scribe!
I’m writing this morning — Sunday, before I head to the airport to fly back to Europe — because we are in such an incredible moment. The ISI conference was full of conservative academics, and it’s fair to say that everybody here can hardly believe what just happened in our country this week. For once, “morning in America” doesn’t seem like a stale 1980s cliche.
This is a link to the Thomas Frank column in the NYTimes Dreher discusses. Both pieces are very good reads despite Frank’s TDS.
