Dreher describing the DC bubble:
It’s five minutes ago, and I’m sitting in my living room back in my hometown of St. Francisville, as happy and as settled as I’ve ever been. I am 45 years old. I read Marc Ambinder’s list, and think about how boring and superficial and cynical America’s national politics are. And I think about how I, who once imagined a career spent working in media and politics, can barely stand to read the daily paper’s coverage because politics now strike me as so unimportant to the real events determining the dreams and the lives of the American people. And I think about Charles Peguy’s great line: “Homer is new this morning, and perhaps nothing is as old as today’s newspaper.”
