Taranto's last paragraph: America has some hope for the future, though. Its fertility rate has not declined as sharply as in other Western nations, in part thanks to families like the Romneys, Santorums, Pauls and Palins. The polarization of American politics gives reason for hope about America's political future, too.

Now you can see why Lisa Miller is in such a bad mood.
