Anonymous? It was clearly written by The Earl of Oxford. Or Francis Bacon. A noble, for sure.

This is so good.

Given the instability many have witnessed, there were early whispers of crowning some capable, legitimate successor in King Lear’s place to guide our country back to peace and sanity <ad removed>

I just read a couple pieces out there right now from Never Trumper types basically saying the same thing you are here, Doc, David Frum @ The Atlantic & Rick Wilson @ Daily Beast.

I think the primary goal of that op-ed is to help the writer

Of course . Impossible to disagree. As to the primary goal.

But if not in most , than at least in an awful lot of cases , there's what Auden calls " private" reason.

For the clear voice suddenly singing

high up in the convent wall

the handshake, the cough, the kiss

there is always..........

a private reason for this

Out of congenital naivety among my multiple reactions to the "quiet resistor", one is that

the private reason was exactly what she said . To be an "everyday citizen rising above politics."

Mawkish of course but ironically that itself tempts me to take it at face value. If it weren't so artless I'd be less

likely to allow for the possibility the resistor actually wants to do good.

By electing a democratic congress to stop this madman.

Wasn't it the Bard who first said there's no business like show business? At least when he wasn't writing sonnets?

well yeah, forgot about that

In reply to The Harry Truman Show.

well yeah, forgot about that one, it is apt too. I still like Network for so much of what's happening these days, though. In itself, what just happened to Iannucci with this one tweet is turning into another outside-the-proscenium type story, that there's a write up about it in WaPo now, and then that he retweets that! Narrative within narrative within narrative within narrative. What is left of reality when that happens, when it's so fractionated as it were? What is reality? We got a "reality show" president, but we all know by now nothing in "reality shows" is real, they are plotted and written and acted, just in a different way than they used to be with more improv....giving me a headache, I was never that good at philosophy....post post post modern...
