Even if not shedding new light, to shed any light at all in these times is,
I fear, remarkable. The very wonderous thing this administration has done is
to speak to, grab hold of and keep the "sweet spot" of the intellegence bell
curve where intelectual savvy is not required and whose capacity for
manipulation is utterly predictable.
