...on the plane yesterday in Manchester, New Hampshire, an old guy from Wisconsin asked me if he could take a look at my newspaper. "Someone told me there's an editorial about Scott Walker!," he exclaimed almost breathlessly. When he noticed that I was reading
The New York Times instead of
The Wall Street Journal he slumped back in his seat. "Never mind," he muttered forlornly.
I looked over at the old codger and his wife but didn't have the heart to tell them that the tea party would be coming after seniors next. After all, to paraphrase the famous bank robber Willie Sutton, Medicare and Social Security
are where the money is.
