Ever dated a crazy girl? Sorry. It is 2019. What I meant to ask is: Have you ever consensually courted a woman of alternative mental enthusiasm? Well, it is marvelous. Narcotic and vibrating. Every fibrous sinew tensed and trilling. Sooner or later, however, that choppy high leavens into a faint despair. That vivifying alternative mien
Perhaps my political palette has sophisticated of late. Like that of the helpless addict, more and stronger product is needed to attain that first cotton-wrapped high. After the election of Boris Johnson as prime minister of Great Britain this week, it seems nobody, except a few tiresome Londoners, has noticed. Absent is the

To attack verbally and physically, those who dare to deviate from the herd is to be a progressive. Even better: to mark one as
You would be forgiven for thinking that handily winning the vote share over your rivals meant you had won an election. But in the Current Year, such logic is a bunk currency—the winning ticket of the Zimbabwe National Lottery. As predicted, Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party pillaged last weekend’s European Parliament elections. Just six
