New Crowther Column

I consider Hal Crowther to be about the most astute social/political commentator out there today, and his new column does nothing to dissuade me from that opinion. Here's the key quote in his analysis of the recent election:

"Voters may have had many reasons to be upset, but they had no positive way to express it. As the two-party system founders, political choice in America is never multiple choice. It's yes or no, true or false, chocolate or vanilla, even if you hate them both—don't even dream of strawberry or maple walnut. It may be true that the voters have no memory, but they have no options, either. They can only kick the revolving door and watch yesterday's gross failures pose as tomorrow's brightest hope."

But read the whole thing. I guarantee he'll give you something to think about.
