However, there is the matter of decorum and civility.

I thought the Left would hold back, and wait for someone else to bring up the subject of a changing majority, attack the Right for being insensitive, and then essentially say “But, while we’re on the subject” . . .

But first thing they did on NPR (it’s the only non-music station that comes in at work) was bring up the subject of politics. Go figure.

I guess that makes me a cynic, though it’s not beyond normal media practice to simply invent some Right wing insensitivity and ignore the fact that everyone jumped on the subject. We’ll see. . .
