The winter had driven her crazy. All these snowstorms, all these months and months trapped in her home, barely able to go outside into the streets that the terrible Communist mayor refused to plow, all those days on her own because the snow prevented her man-servant from journeying to the Upper East Side from the tenement room he shared with eighteen relatives in the Bronx. "I am sorry, Meesus Noonan," he whined plaintively when he called from the pay phone in the hallway, the sounds of mariachi music and gunfire mingling in the background. "The buses, they do not run. I cannot walk all that way to you for we have no heat and I have lost all feeling in my toes. Perhaps a raise, so I could buy a space heater for my family..."
And they can deliver the cake the day before? Peggy doesn't take this into account because I doubt she's ever planned anything more complicated remembering to order a fresh drink before she finishes the one in her hand.
I hope it exhausts the fuck out of you, Peggoristes Noonicus. I hope your employers there at the WSJ are just completely worn down at having to constantly pay terrible dourbags like yourself so many big moneyz to deploy these editorial sandbags against the currents of progress. I hope the self-interested "conservative" readers that you dogwhistle for are getting terminally bile-fatigued from the boilerplate aggrievedness you are endlessly jabbering about.
All the while, progress marches on, despite all the column-inches and 24/7 FOX whining your one-percenter employers purchase.
Oh, yes, "conservatives feel exhausted," as you point out, but the "Left is too damaged"...? Sorry, fossil of the Reaganoestic Era, but if you haven't noticed, we're laughing at trainwrecks such as yourself. The tiring part of it, if anything, is how predictably dessicated your screed-wheezes have gotten. Gin rehydration therapy, commence!
<i>But voters and taxpayers feel bullied, burdened and jerked around, which again is not new but feels more intense every day.</i> There is a segment of voters and taxpayers who feel bullied, burdened and jerked around if they have to pay, perform, or allow anything that their precious snowflake selves don&#039;t desire. Like Ms. Noonan, for example.
Also, older people retiring or working less? Maybe my seniors could actually get jobs now that older people are freeing them up? How is that a problem?
They are virtually exhausted from their metaphorical fighting figurative wars.
I thought Mayor Bloomberg made those giant drinks illegal in NYC.
hey, tilting at windmills is hard work!
hide the Sterno, Peggy is in one of those moods
the Grand Old Pity Party
After a medicore career as a speech writer for Reagan, Peggy Noonan transitioned into an even more medicore career as a columnist.

Wait, that&#039;s not Mitt Romney?? Oh, wait, you didn&#039;t say &quot;Reagan-shaped butt plug.&quot;
if you post from your stone tablet it makes you look semiteliterate

We lefties look hollowed out? I always think Peggy looks like an Egyptian undertaker yanked her brain out through her nose.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by cheap gin and hubris.
Serve as an ad hoc sanitarium?
