I received an email from an old college friend, born and raised in New York City, still living there, a bright guy, an attorney, reads the New York Times and the New Yorker, I’m sure, shops at Zabar’s … you know what I mean.

His email read:
Subject: congratulations
Let fascism ring.

Sent with my Treo

Imagine if Kerry had won and I had written him: “Let communism ring.” He’d think I was unglued – and he’d be correct.

What has happened to these people? On some level, they are still adolescents.

Good for Kerry that he did not sound such themes.
