“A drinking age of 21 is an embarassment to a supposedly liberty-loving nation.”

January 21st, 2009

Here’s a issue an issue Republicans would take up–changing the drinking age to 18 instead of 21. As Megan McCardle writes, “A drinking age of 21 is an embarassment to a supposedly liberty-loving nation.” If I were in Congress, I’d be tempted to push this because the I’m a non-drinker.

I like Jeremy Clarkson’s take on America

January 19th, 2009

Jeremy Clarkson writes:

In America everyone wants to be a part of the great outdoors. They like the idea of cutting down trees and shooting critters in the spine. Even the most sockless preppy from Georgetown DC is able and willing to slip out of his loafers at a moment’s notice and into a hairy shirt for a weekend under canvas in the woods. What’s more, in America everyone wants to be a factory worker. They seem to find manual labour and engineer boots rather noble. Bruce Springsteen has more money than God but unlike Britain’s rock gods, who wear tweed and Armani, he dresses like he’s spent all day up a telegraph pole. Only in America could there have been a song called Wichita Lineman. An ode to a man who spends all day long driving around a useless state, in a pick-up truck, looking for broken telephone wires.

Maybe I like any article that references the great Glenn Campbell song, “Wichita Lineman.”
