        To clarify: contra this article, it is not "shocking" that Daniel Patrick Moynihan's child would say something super-racist.

        Probability zero that moynihan didn't let loose some really hilarious anti-asian jokes back in the day

        Moynihan Report was open to the idea that the problem with the Black family was that Black *culture* was just damn pathological

        I'm sorry, is Maura Moynahan an elected official or just a private citizen who happens to be the kid of a dead politician?

        We never threw off the aristocracy, we just replaced a landed one with a commercial and political one.

        It's a big improvement by 18th century standards. I think we can do better than 18th century standards.

        There's a straight line from the Moynihan Report to the daughter.
