The Christmas Tiger
Part I:
The Gauntlet
On Jonah Goldberg's new book Liberal Fascism– an attack on, among others, Woodrow Wilson:
"'… at some point,' Goldberg writes, 'it is necessary to throw down the gauntlet, to draw a line in the sand, to set a boundary, to cry at long last, "Enough is enough."'"
The Goldberg declaration is from a review in today's New York Times titled "Heil Woodrow!"
Part II:
Uncle Duke
Goes to Washington
Today's Doonesbury:
Part III:
A Holiday Tradition
Dialogue from the classic Capra film "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"–
SUMMERS: When the country needs men up there who know and have courage as it never did before, he's just gonna decorate a chair and get himself honored.
DARRELL: Oh, but he'll vote! Sure. Just like his colleague tells him to.
DIZ: "Yes, sir," like a Christmas tiger. He'll nod his head and vote…
REPORTERS: "Yes."
DIZ: You're not a Senator! You're an honorary stooge! You ought to be shown up!
Part IV:
The Tigers of Princeton
The Christmas evening Pennsylvania Lottery 4-digit number was 0666, the Christian "number of the beast." For the beast itself, see the Dec. 3 Log24 entry "Santa's Polar Opposite?" with its link to a discussion of a metaphorical tiger at the South Pole. A more realistic version of the beast appeared in the news on Christmas evening.
Part V:
"Heil Woodrow!"
The Christmas number may also be interpreted as a reference to 6/6/6, the graduation date of the Class of 2006 at Princeton University.
Part V:
"Heil Woodrow!"
As noted above, this title from a book review in today's New York Times refers to Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States (1913-1921) and President of Princeton University (1902-1910).
