Steyn loves Christmas.
And this on President George H W Bush:
Overnight, news came that George H W Bush had died. There will be more to say in the days ahead. He was president at the moment when the free world formally won the Cold War - although, as I noted in America Alone, at the time it didn't seem much of a victory ideologically speaking, and is less and less of one as the years go by. In its place came new provocations: The first Gulf War ended inconclusively, and in that sense made inevitable the second, launched by his son and ushering in an age of perpetually inconclusive wars. On the home front, the first Bush was felt not to "connect" with voters and was replaced after one term by a new kind of president who connected in ways that have afflicted our politics ever since.
Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner, Wile E. Coyote, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Mickey Mouse, Woody, Goofy, etc., all met their demise at the hands of the radical, progressive, liberal P.C. Police. And we all said, “Okay”. And they just keep pushing us to the edge of the cliff, while we keep whispering, “Okay”.
It’s over. If we wouldn’t stick up for Bugs, where is the line where we will?
I’m in stitches!
“...the editors also correctly noted why the little fellow was so effective in rising above the deeply ingrained erubescophobia.”
“He’s learned a quintessentially American lesson: don’t get deep and crisp, get even.”
Deep and crisp and even...LOL. How Bohemian.
“erubescophobia” — Another big LOL!
Erubescophobia - fear of the color red
Erubescent - becoming red or reddish; blushing
TOSSPOTS?? Never heard that one before. Must be a Britishism!
