Politics of the Day
You know, I really feel, watching all the incredibly sorry electioneering that's happening, like I'm reliving high school. Like it's the nerds vs the jocks all over again. I know, I know, the colossally asinine and banal David Brooks has said the same thing. But I really feel it - in the tone of the attacks, the same kind of deafness on both sides. You know what I mean.
The real question, I guess, is this: where the hell are the punks? When I was in high school, it was the obligatory role of the punks to prey on
both jocks and nerds. So why are the punks completely disengaged?
