The art of living in interesting times

"Now we have a real crisis. For the time being, there is no real left and right in America, just the loud and the quiet."

San Francisco Chronicle. When even Rush Limbaugh sounds reasonable, something unusual is happening, writes Rob Morse. "Limbaugh said that before we returned to anything like normal, we'd have to face the reality that we've lived in luxury for a long time, a statement that any left-winger would agree with. Among those luxuries, Limbaugh said, was the 'luxury of creating our own stresses and crises.' Ditto, says this flag-waving liberal."'
