Ten years ago, I hosted my extended family’s annual Thanksgiving get-together. Do you know what everyone was debating? How much longer Gore and Lieberman should continue fighting for the election victory they had won but been denied. My position was that they owed it to all the people who knocked on doors and made phone calls for them to fight to the very end. I think the consensus view was that they just wanted it to be over.
I spent the next eight years just wishing it would be over. Then, one day, it was. But even before it was over I realized that our new president would be subjected to unremitting criticism from all sides. So, it wasn’t over. There would never be any rest. It would never be over.
Ten years gone. Ten years wasted. <p
A new decade, now with More Stupid.
