Politics As Usual
We’d like to say we’re done moving, painting, signing our life away. After the purchase of our first home, we’re descending into a life that’s more Shining and less Barney’s Great Adventure. But that’s another story. It’s on to the Flurry! Big media stories usually rely on three interwoven topics: politics, business, and crime. We miss Teddy over here at DSM, so let’s delve back into politics, which is not unpredictable for a Thursday. We’re all for diversity. Today we offer stories with a right wing perspective. An art historian finds another side to Hitler, by examining his art. William Bradley reminds us that Teddy’s passing means the end of Camelot. JFK’s Bay of Pigs invasion failed. Commonweal believes the war in Afghanistan will, too. Finally, In Case You Missed It, we have George Orwell’s 1946 essay on Politics and the English Language. As for us, we’re headed back to the campaign trail, which leads directly to our new front door. — Andrew Geer
