Paranoia on the rise
By Gene Lyons

LITTLE ROCK — “Republicans originally thought that FOX worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for FOX.”-former George W. Bush speech writer David Frum Not long before he received a death threat in the mail, there was a photograph of my congressman, Vic Snyder, in the newspaper that couldn’t help but make me smile.
The Little Rock Democrat was depicted riding herd on his 1-year-old triplets, all boys, each toddling resolutely in a separate direction. Any father of sons had to think something like “Good grief, Vic will be 75 when those three turn 13 and the real fun begins.”

The best advice I’ve heard about raising boys was given to my wife by a psychology professor who was our neighbor. Having had no brothers, she’d gone to our friend near tears after yet another Mommy-sponsored picnic in the park had turned into something out of “Lord of the Flies.” What should she do about the constant bickering, teasing and fighting?

“You might try thinking of them,” he said, “as a pair of male mammal cubs.”

She laughed and quit worrying so much about it.
