Today, on MLK Day, I'm celebrating the fact that in my lifetime this country has gone from Lester Maddox, ax handle in his hand, blocking the school door to the election of an African-American as President. That, my friends, is a remarkable journey and a tremendous achievement.
Starting tomorrow, I'll be depressed thinking about the misbegotten policies likely to be enacted by this particular African-American. If you're too young to remember the Carter years (most people today are), think double-digit inflation, double-digit unemployment, and economic stagnation. Think "yes we can" replaced by "malaise."
