Yesterday I admitted to a room college students that I couldn’t explain what was happening in Washington because nothing in my education or experience prepared me for it. In the pre-dawn this morning it came to me. America is like an old Man-of-War back in the days of sail and timber when, as Patrick O’brian put it, “Men stood with only nine inches of wooden planking between them and the bottom of the sea.” While we occupied ourselves making war and assailing one another over the first and second amendments to the Constitution, a pack of rats called the “Tea Party” invaded our ship and is trying to destroy it from within. Why don’t we quit fighting foreigners—and each other—and get rid of the vermin ere we sink?
