A Perfect Day

 Some will think so today.


This beautiful, poignant song by Lou Reed finishes with a lyric to ponder:

"You're going to reap just what you sow".


Ambiguity? I am of course referring above to the party which has adopted and aggregated the fantasy luxury beliefs of the aspirant young professional strata - and thereby abandoned aspirations to hegemonic ideological leadership for the population as a whole. It now falls to the Republicans to break the logjam: I have high hopes for JD Vance and his talented colleagues to get real work done behind the scenes, while Trump entertains in front of house.

Naive (cultural) globalisation has truly had its day.
