Every now and then, big ideas for important essays are not to be found. Not that there aren’t incredibly important things happening all around us—war, economic crisis and debt default, pathological lying by new cross-dressing members of Congress—all of this should provide an essayist with plenty to ramble on about. What keeps me from such weighty topics this day is the amount of writing I’ve been doing professionally lately, and a sense that I want to rest my brain a little. Not wanting to disappoint you—my faithful readers and subscribers—I therefore offer the following bon mots for you to consider.
