Unfortunately, we’ve become a nation where apology is a sign of weakness, a piece of meat to a hungry pack. We’re a people hopelessly addicted to outrage and pearl clutching. And those who don’t scream loudly enough or clutch their pearls hard enough must worry about the Thought Police.

You don’t get the humor do you.
This is an excellent article.
(And it led me to search on the ‘Chicago Tribune’. I wouldn’t have thought that a big-city newspaper would publish writing like this - being personally stuck in DC, with the WP, as I am...)
No worries, complacency will save Schumer’s ass.
I’m guessing he watches videos of himself every chance he gets.
