My friend and long-time writing partner Jeff over at BrookingsLib has been on hiatus for quite some time now, but every now and then he posts and when he does, he makes up for lost time!  I’ve largely avoided the whole Taylor Swift issue, the maga crowd’s hysteria that I don’t understand at all, but I concur with Jeff’s take on it … read on!  Thank you, Jeff, for all that you do.

Note to Readers:  Our internet has been sketchy, down for 15 minutes, up for 30 seconds, etc., so if you don’t see as many posts from me this weekend, that’s the reason.  The company is coming on Monday to repair it, but meanwhile I have to play catch-as-catch-can, so I may not be able to answer all comments or post as much as usual.  Thank you for your patience.
