...meant as a condemnation of maximizing fun and living casually. I am committed to wearing runner-soled shoes, watching The Simpsons and making back-of-the-classroom wisecracks on Twitter. But the rampant juvenillization of national life does echo and reinforce unfortunate habits of mind. What do the naughtiest children do? They scream and cry and tell outrageous fibs, like Glenn Beck...
...Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's "(You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care" for "Jailhouse Rock," he shows his eerie ease in shifting from high to low registers, and runs supple variations on the "Baby, I don't care," making it a promise of the naughtiest behavior.

When the Republicans flooded Congress a few weeks ago, nearly a third of their House majority was supplied by 73 freshmen. The shock troops of the revolution, they were hard to the right and unbeholden to the old order. Almost half of them had never held office of any kind before.
