MUTATIS MUTANDIS

I kind of left Peggy Noonan in my wake several years ago. She leaped enthusiastically over the shark and headed for nowhere as a columnist who could call the future or even deal with the present. Her latest column in the WSJ has these words which I find prophetic and sadly amusing. She won't get it.
“The pandemic has changed everything.” It has. Never have we needed visionaries more than now—people in politics, and out, who have an outsize creativity and a deep knowledge of human beings, who can come up with reasons people want to be here, have to be here, would be happy nowhere else.
There was a man for these times who carved out a unique niche for being a bold visionary with outsize creativity and a deep knowledge of human beings. His name was Donald Trump. Try and get Peggy to wrap her head around that.

The price of having a competent man in charge, was too high. He might demand responsibility for actions.

Peggy just wants to be invited to all the smart parties.
