Go, Read: Tim Kreider On Outrage
I've never grown comfortable with the fact that the talented cartoonist Tim Kreider is also so, so much a better prose writer than I'll ever be, but here's more proof: a crackling essay on the Bush Years and how he's adjusted to their departure. "If you’re anything like me, you spend about 87 percent of your mental life winning imaginary arguments that are never actually going to take place." Too good.
