Politics

Whoever you are, you didn't come here to read about politics. Don't worry, this post is only tangentially about politics.

This morning on NPR they were talking about all the organization and planning that is going on to support protests of the Republican convention in New York City. The whole business made me think of a quote from P.J. O'Rourke's Parliament of Whores.


"How come," I asked Andy, "whenever something upsets the Left, you see immediate marches and parades and rallies with signs already printed and rhyming slogans already composed, whereas whenever something upsets the Right, you see two members of the Young Americans for Freedom waving a six-inch American flag?"

"We have jobs," said Andy.


("Andy" in this quote is Andrew Ferguson, who is currently a columnist for Bloomberg and a senior editor for The Weekly Standard.)
