In response to Ezra Klein’s: “Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics The Right Way”
The day after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, The New York Times published an opinion piece from political researcher, theorist, observer, and all-around smart guy Ezra Klein.

Little Fiction 1
Lakewater Perhaps for dinner. Something with cheese. Wine maybe? Fancy people always have that, I hear. Wine and cheese and laughter with a smirk of irony on the rocks. I bet there’s some around here. Maybe in the cellar. I wondered if it’s secret. They’d do that. I’d do that. I wouldn’t want anybody snooping Continue reading
