I did not participate in the Moment That Was last night because I was being a baby about the whole thing. But, I hasten to add, a preternaturally indifferent baby. Not one for crying and carrying on, but a placid one already resigned to the outcome despite, you know, the Hope.
After it became clear that Pennsylvania had declined to hop on board the Straight Talk Express v.2.0, I lost the ascot, had a nightcap, and remembered some passions.
I should probably be ashamed of myself for turning my back on such a dawn of a new age —especially considering how much love I have for History and for my own exceptionalistic country— but I will get over it. After all, I know what happened. So do you.
The world keeps turning, the Republic will live, and Charity conquers all.
