The Fallows regularly visit cities and towns across America, large and small, to collect evidence--real evidence, not bland interpretative pronouncements--of their strengths and weaknesses, noting especially how locals pursue their lives in ways orthogonal to received DC wisdom. Sure, it's spun as human interest, but the stories are concrete, not glib bullshit about becoming "more amazed."Dean C.

Two days since Game of Thrones, and I see you're still trying to figure out how to insert "Wun Wun Stu" into a post without it sounding too forced. :)<br />2. Well, Mr. Brooks IS getting out. Credit where credit is due. Though, if you want to figure out where Mr. Trump came from, you don't go to Mother Abigail in Hemingford Home, Nebraska. You go to Randall Flagg in Las Vegas. A few hours at a Trump rally should save Mr. Brooks lots of travel time.<br /><br />Be seeing you.Kevin Holsingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568539831959033188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-76651913526021898612016-06-21T12:58:28.114-05:002016-06-21T12:58:28.114-05:00Michael,

And where, exactly are we rising from? Do you perhaps mean our regular lives, which were oh so meaningless and unexamined-y before you decided to fictionalize them into a co-optable state? Could it be that we were living our uplifting little stories all along, even before you decided you needed to write about us? And I wonder what else we might have been doing all along, for years and fucking years, while you insulted us from your high perch on bullshit mountain... Oh yeah, we were busy being right about you being absurdly wrong about most everything you scribbled about for more money than any of us will ever see in our entire plucky little lives...<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-66025190104500827532016-06-21T12:45:09.342-05:002016-06-21T12:45:09.342-05:00Who the F are the "net-root DeLays in the Dem...Who the F are the "net-root DeLays in the Democratic Party" he's nattering on about?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929006926720835188noreply@blogger.com
