Empty Gesture
The Politico story about an alleged incident 15 years ago, with little if any evidence, has advanced to a charge by Herman Cain, with little or no evidence, that Rick Perry is behind it. It all means more strange appearances by Cain’s manager, Mark Block.

Speaking of Change, last Thursday was Diaper Need Awareness Day in the state of Connecticut. It was a day for the diaper lobby to call attention to the needs of the diaper disadvantaged. The holiday prompted Mark Steyn to recall that the government already provides “adult baby” Stanley Thornton Jr. with income disability checks so he can wear a giant diaper, while laying around in a giant crib, under the attention of a buxom nanny. Apparently there are actual adults whose fetish for pooping their pants is now a federally recognized disability. Steyn considers this “almost too poignant an emblem of the republic at twilight”.
