Eschaton: Failure of Leadership (quoting Richard Cohen).
I think I'll start working on an essay called "What to do when your country goes nuts." It'll be a how-to guide on signs to look for and how to respond to insane mob behavior when confronted by it.

Many of us wander around trying to figure out what happened to everybody and wondering what to do about it. Many others just keep their mouths shut and their heads covered until the fever passes.
