I settled for being a writer instead.

One of the battalion of cable news apologists just said the real tragedy here is: Looters are stealing the underlying message! Well, that plus designer sneakers and Louis Vuitton handbags. Now that the NYTimes has caved to snowflake staffers new national pastime and said Tom Cotton's great op-ed "should not have been published," let's just scrap "All the News That's Fit to Print" so the paper finally can have the front-page motto it richly deserves: "Should Not Have Been Published". Some fools went rogue today, captured a building in Washington, DC, and have taken the law into their own hands.
