It’s Armistice Day
2014 marks 100 years from the start of World War I, btw.
Here are a couple of good articles to keep you going while I’m doing other things —
Josh Marshall, “Forget the Chatter, This is the Democrats’ Real Problem”
Edwin Lyngar, “I was a conservative coward: How the midterms evoked my past of shame, terror and Fox News“
It’s Armistice Day
My Grandpa finally home from the Western Front, some time in the summer of 1919, with Granny and my Dad. (Look at all the crochet stuff! Granny used to crochet a cover for anything that stood still for more than ten minutes. I still have a shawl she crocheted stored away somewhere.)
ALso, too, do read Gary Wills, “What Romney Lost.”
