We cant get used to this
Neil Steinberg
Sometimes people ask if I ever write columns in advance, to have one in the can. I tell them the truth: You really can’t, because they go stale so quickly ...
... Say so you hope to slip away for the weekend by tramping around Starved Rock State Park. So you write a column Friday morning, oh, suggesting that Donald Trump will be president for another seven years and change, so the best thing sentient people can do, rather than howling in horror at each new jaw-dropped lapse, is to tend your own garden, live your own rich life, baking English muffins and keeping track of the slow-motion train wreck in Washington only periodically, out of the corner of your eye, through latticed fingers. Otherwise it’s just too disturbing.
Then Saturday morning arrives to find our president lashing out at the beleaguered people of Puerto Rico, writing a sentence .. that will go down in infamy ...
Ignoring that isn’t an option; being disturbed isn’t a distraction, it’s a patriotic duty ...
