    My column in today's Post. As I watched ’s video it occurred to me that in America, when we feel afraid, terrorized, hunted, the solution is rarely to punish the hunter, but for the victims, the rest of us, to get over it and change the way we live.

    It’s not hypocrisy! It’s just reading. I don’t want to chase down real life murderers any more than I want to have actual sex on a rocky English beach.

    I am deeply hypocritical when it comes to what I enjoy in romance novels vs what I will tolerate in real life. For this, I am not sorry.

    If we continue as a nation where the fear of massive, crippling debt is associated with healthcare and higher education, we will remain a nation of illness and ignorance. How’s that worked out so far?

    Sen. Romney: "President Trump has disrespected the American voters, has dishonored the election system and has disgraced the office of the presidency. I'm confident we'll proceed as the Constitution demands and tell our supporters the truth — whether or not they want to hear it."

    The historian in me can’t help but at marvel at the fact that Virginia, which was a bastion of the Confederacy, is today protecting the Union and sending in the National Guard. That’s all I can process at the moment.
