Junta Gatherer: Right Bolshevik Degeneracy
To think I once liked this guy, and the publication (National Review). Well, a little. The degeneration of our times. (Warning: America-centric-ish). For Thomas Sowell tells us, and I [block]quote:
When I see the worsening degeneracy in our politicians, our media, our educators, and our intelligentsia, I can’t help wondering if the day may yet come when the only thing that can save this country is a military coup.
Funnier still is what is a sign of America's weaklinghood and need for a caudillo:
The home run records that made Babe Ruth famous have been broken but one of his records will probably never be broken — pitching the longest shutout in World Series history, 14 innings. Few pitchers go even nine innings these days.
Too bad our Aqoul journal foreign readership won't get what I mean when I suggest a new novel "Seven Innings In May". For me, it was the designated hitter rule that first called forth the need for a State of Emergency and suspension of the Constitution. Even worse, how else to precede the call for military salvation, and to bemoan weakness in others, except by the dread news that:
Just watching Suze Orman for a few moments while channel surfing is enough to make me feel exhausted.
Who's calling whom, weaklings, again?

1 - Suze Orman is exhausting. Vomitacious, too.
2 - Designated hitters are far worse than what you say: they are the definitive Signs of the Apocalypse. God Bless the reactionary bastids who run the National League. I avoid baseball stadiums like the plague now, afraid that the first Divine Lightning Strike announcing the Second Coming will hit home plate just as some DH slides in.
Well, that and I'm bored with baseball, and wondering how they figure Orlando Cepeda should be deep-sixed from the Hall on the basis of stuff he does years after he retires. But who's keeping score?

So did you catch Harvard professor Harvey Mansfield basically calling for a dictatorship?
no idea who the bloke is, but am told he's important in some way. At least he's a professor, but then again, so is Glenn Reynolds.

as Rudy Giuliani well knows, Americans (and American Leaguers) love offense
