LINK: In discussing one of my fellowship applications with a friend (the essay subject was just war), he asked if I was going to cover any contemporary uses of just war thinking. My answer: "We're conservatives. We don't even pretend like we can talk about things until they're at least 100 years old."
All of this to say, does is strike anyone else as odd that we've gone through a succession of TV shows in the last few years which are, by general consensus, art in their own right, and that these shows are inevitably named "the best thing ever on TV?" Does it strike anyone as odd when conservatives do it? T.S. Eliot must be rolling over in his grave.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
