I think it was Reader’s Digest that used to run, in prehistoric times, a feature called “Life in These United States,” which featured odds and ends, anecdotes and blarney from various parts of the U.S., presumably to show us to ourselves.
Great note, Chris. And of course, Kevin McCarthy did come through, though things still may bog down. I just wanted to tell you that there was a very funny set of letters that was published in a magazine called Caterpillar decades ago, by Jack Spicer that contained an anecdote in which he alleged that he tried to get his essay "How I fucked a bear and found God" published in Reader's Digest. Thought that would give you a laugh.

That's hilarious, Meryl! I'm surprised they didn't go for it.
Well, hey. Kevin did something at least slightly smart, for once. Let's hope the nut cases get marginalized, and things might start to look up.
And, no. Kevin was too clueless to work out some sort of deal with the Dems to keep his job.
