The bad and the good

PANDEMIC: November 23, 2020 And on ... and on ... ... And, yes! One fine day, as with the Noah family’s detention on the ark, the damndemic will cease, desist, vanish, take a powder. Masks will disappear in the trash can. Americans will pass days and weeks without a virus-inspired reflection on medical experts or D. J. Trump. THIS IS the good part. There is a bad part. It pains and...
Journey’s end

RETIREMENT: November 3, 2020 I have tried to think of something appropriate to say upon the end of this endeavor at saving Western civilization through journalism. WESTERN civilization remains unsaved. That is the first thought that comes to mind. What could I have been thinking anyway? A second thought is that in my failure I have had just a...

ENERGY: October 26, 2020 The phoniness of big-government politics was on conspicuous display during the final presidential debate. Note the adjective “big-government.” Not Democratic politics, not Republican politics. Big-government politics, representing the pleasant myth that politicians at the top of the greasy pole have the wisdom...

DEMOCRACY: October 16, 2020 Back to where we left off the other day: democracy’s varied discontents staring us straight in our blurred and reddening eyes, obscuring once-familiar loyalties and understandings. MODERN democracy as a bloodier and bloodier power struggle, our self-chosen political classes’ refusal to recognize reality as...
Some belated encounters with reality
William Murchison 10/12/2020 - 11:47pm
POLITICS: October 12, 2020 With Joe Biden poised — so say the augurers — to oust Donald Trump from the White House, we might want to entertain some considerations larger than polls and absentee-ballot counts. Considerations such as the normal detritus of elections. SOME preliminary general thoughts follow. First, the repetitive...
The return of court packing
William Murchison 10/06/2020 - 12:49am
SUPREME COURT: October 5, 2020 History! Don’t we know by this stage in the Damn-demic Era that history is what you make up to push a point you want everybody else to take up? The New York Times’ rancid “1619 Project” comes sorrowfully to mind. SO, IF we hate the prospect of ramming through, as part of the Democratic...
