The Sound of the Crowd

What you mean we, white man?

Here’s a good article, by way of a review of two books, about the success of the right. It ends (this gives nothing away, and it’s not a mystery novel for pete’s sake):

“the success of today’s right, despite its manifest greediness and irresponsibility, remains a puzzle. And it’s a puzzle we’d better solve soon, if we want to preserve the America we grew up in.”

I like this article…but the America I grew up in was Jimmy Carter’s well-meaning but ineffectual and clumsy America, Reagan’s nationalistic, jingoistic America and George H. W. Bush’s self-deceptive, out-of it America. I don’t know how to tell you this…
