Please Don't Stop Making Sense, Even If Someone Tempts You
After reading this article, I'm inclined to ask why you don't run for President, Mr. O'Hehir. Of course I know why you, or any sane person, for that matter, wouldn't even consider the attempt.
Still, it would be refreshing to have someone who has as much sense as you have running for any national, state or local office. Just once, please, before I'm called to Jesus.
Of course, no candidate dares risk making any sense these days -- look at Hillary Clinton. Which is why, after pondering my question a bit longer, I realize how much more valuable you are where you are. Since politicians can't frame the debate we desperately need to have, I'm afraid writers must, and no other writer I've read recently, except perhaps Glenn Greenwald, does it as well as you've done here.
Thank you.
